Upgrade strategy?

[steven s]

Currently my forum is in a /forum directory.
When updating or testing I will use a directory named /xf.
Then eventually renaming it /forum.

Or would it make sense to create a subdomain
forum.xx.xxx so I can leave my vB3 site public but closed to posting.
There will be mods/hacks/addons on the old site that will take time to port over.

Then have different sections subdomains. gallery, wiki etc. . .

I recommend the subforum. It just seems the "safer" way to go, to me, and what I've always used.
