About forum domain name

[AlexN]

Hi, this is probably a dumb question, but if i make a domain for my site do i need a secnod domain for my forum?

i.e. if the domain name is 'http://games.com' do i need to make another domain if i want the forum to be 'http://forums.games.com'?

Because i want the forums to be before the domain name, not after, and if i create a directory won't it be after?
i.e. 'http://games.com/forums';

you can add a subdomain so that forums.games.com points to games.com/forums

...and you add them by using the contact form once you're logged into the options panel, and telling the admin what subdomain/directory
