Grammar
"Webmaster Furom" or "Webmasters Furom"
Hi there.
I am a member of an online forum for webmasters. It happened that I noted something is not grammatically right with the tittle of our forum. So I posted a topic so i could raise the matter in question: Which is grammatically correct? Is it "Webmaster Furom" or Webmasters Furom".
Please check the post. (Hope I did not violate rules of EnglishForward.com by refering a link to another forum).

My raised doubt has already created squabbles, doubts and insults. Please help clarify. Thank You.

Hi, Anon,
Once I had the same doubts too, but my CAE preparation tutor (a native speaker of English) told me recently that the first noun should be singular in such cases, i.e. the title is okay.

Your link doesn't work, but it is OK to link to other sites for this sort of inquiry.
I would think that Webmasters' Forum (the plural possessive, with an apostrophe) would be the least contestable choice.

Yes, Thayk, and that's why I had doubts, too. But, nevertheless, I was told by the native that, in spite of that fact, it should be singular. The reason is the same due to which it must be said 10-year old boy and not 10-years old boy. Strange but true.
