I believe it comes from the Latin. Since as far as my memory serves me forum is a Latin word.

Anyways, both are correct and accepted spellings. I alternate between both of them.

EDIT: It is like the singular for data is datum.

I haven't even thought about it until just this minute. Forums? Why would it be fora?

I use “fora” as a plural to forum when referring to the archaic, Latin meaning of the word.
I use “forums” as a plural to forum when referring to the electronic meaning of the word, which is the forum we are on now.
I use “forums” as a plural for all other meanings of the word that are not mentioned above.

Genius has fallen for his own myth. Both are correct.

Every time I heat "fora" I cringe. It's like hearing that other word that I am not going to bring up in this thread because it is a bad idea.
