    New/improved domain name - Should I forward? How?

    I own a reasonably active forum at
    PHP Code:
    www.mu-43.com 
    We have lots of pages indexed in Google, and I think vbSEO has been extremely helpful in this regard.

    Recently, I was able to pick up the domain
    PHP Code:
    www.mu43.com (sans hyphen
    I currently have the new domain forwarded (by the registrar) to the old one.

    Should I:
    • Leave it as is and announce to the members that they can use either URL
    • Change the site to the new domain and use htaccess to forward all the old to the new
    • Something else


    I'd appreciate advice from some of the SEO experts here. Thanks in advance!

    Moving is usually never a good idea, especially if you're well-indexed. I would keep it as you currently have it set up.
