Just wondering, has anyone noticed that there is http://bluehostforum.com and there is also http://bluehostforums.com
I tried to check whois and found both are owned by bluehost. The unique thing is, both domain stand alone instead of being redirected to another. So if you login in http://bluehostforum.com then open http://bluehostforums.com (without login in bluehostforums.com), your login status is off because session can not be transferred to another domain.
Why not rewriting http://bluehostforums.com into http://bluehostforum.com?

sound like a parked domain to me.
there is no advantage from seo point of view as well.

you are right, should be redirecting it.

From an SEO standpoint Bluehost should either park http://bluehostforums.com or 301 it to http://bluehostforum.com

Currently it's a pretty nasty dupe content problem waiting to happen.

Looks like its parked to me since this thread appears in both.

I wouldn't consider it parked, I would consider http://bluehostforums.com/ to be a mirror of http://bluehostforum.com/. ;)
