How can you go about changing your forum name? Do you change the domain name or keep it the same?

I do not know a whole lot about this but can I ask why you would want to change the name in the first place? If it were established isn't that a bad idea?

I'm just wondering as there is a really big forum that I was part of awhile back and they changed the forum name recently. I guess they thought it would help them rank for a specific keyword. But, I find it very confusing trying to remember the new domain name. So far, the main page and subpages redirect to the new site. But still, I don't like the idea of name changes. Just wondering if anyone else has done this or would consider it and if so why.

If you choose to change the forum name, alert your users ahead of time, so they won't be confused. You could lose many members if they are not prepared.
