I'm about to start a new forum which I wanted to be a part of my existing site.

I opted for vBulletin. Not so much for the volume that I expect not to be too high, but more to be sure I have all the security updates. Somehow paid option makes me feel more secure as I expect the software provider to be more obliged to take care of their customers. Am I right?

So, I thought about going either:

- example.com/forum/, or
- forum.example.com

Is there any difference from maintenance and SEO perspective?

Thanks
