Which URL do you prefer?

This is an issue that has plagued me for a while now. As I begin to bring clean URLs to FAKKU I need to decide whether to drop or keep the trailing slash. And before making a decision on my own, I might as well ask what the community prefers. There is no benefit one way or the other, it is purely aesthetic. It's just best to decide one way and stick with it across all pages. A clean URL is something like https://www.fakku.net/forums/ instead of https://www.fakku.net/forums.php?isdfs=sdf You can read a little more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rewrite_engine Also this is incredibly pointless poll. There really is no difference either way. I just hate making decisions like this. Example (both of these work) https://www.fakku.net/forums https://www.fakku.net/forums/

not sure what the difference is, but /forums/ looks cooler

well, the "forums/" does look nicer, the plain no-slash bit is shorter by one button-press... plus I don't even bother adding that one key. Darn thing automatically pops up when I leave it untyped anyways...

doesnt matter cause if its set in a folder it goes to the page anyway

Without the slash gives it the "This is a nice clean simple link" feel to it. But on the other hand the "forum/" has the more "They seem pretty professional" feel to it. Either works just fine really, but it all depends on which look you are trying to go for. I sound like I have no life right now.

the one that had the slash at the end is the one that I liked.

I think that it is much more pleasant in the eye

I think it's neater.. maybe not as simple as the first one.
But i still choose the second.

I'll vote for without the slash at the end, reason is because I'm just plain lazy to type the extra character (even though I've bookmarked the link) ;)
