Oh Johnny, you don't have a sparkly bottle of Jack Daniels in that picture. It could have been perfect, but alas, it is not.

I don't really see that as a compliment.

I think you'll find that the correct plural of "forum" is "fora".

Zingoleb:
fora |ˈfôrə|
plural form of forum

Hey, he's right!

pwhodges:
In Latin, yes; but we're not using Latin.  The English plural is forums, and this is by far the more widely used; it is also preferred by all serious commentators as far back as Fowler, at least.  To choose to use fora now is simply pretentious.

But fora is not actually wrong.  The case of viruses is more interesting - the Latin word virus has no plural.  The English plural is viruses, and any other usage (viri, virii, etc) has simply been made up by people inappropriately embarrassed to be thought ignorant.
