Very true. But it's less about absolutes and more about how a term reads to your particular target market. It's just one of those things; sometimes things that work really well for one target market don't translate as well as one might hope to another. This French beverage (by Perrier), for example, hasn't been seen much in North America.

Mr. W's Wiki link pretty much nails how the term is immediately perceived in the community of computer-literate English-speaking North Americans (not an easily-dismissed part of FUDForum's target market).

But I couldn't agree more with your other sentiment. If it's going to stay FUDforum, then there's potential for humour and positive publicity in deliberately milking the other meaning of the term - like "FUDforum: all forum - no FUD."
