The feel of ubuntu would look cleaner. Besides, is it that hard a thing to do?

Imagine if brainstorm.ubuntu.com was hosted as ubuntubrainstorm.com ... Which do you prefer? I prefer brainstorm.ubuntu.com. It gives me a feeling that it is official. It gives me the feeling that ubuntu is an organized OS and that I will find whatever I need at ubuntu.com, by being linked to either the forums section, the brainstorm section, or any other branch I need. Maybe even an irc.ubuntu.com could be made to provide users the excellence of service that the irc channel provides on the comfort of their internet browser.

(Copied from my comment below:)
Direct forums.ubuntu.com, forum.ubuntu.com, help.ubuntu.com, etc. to ubuntuforums.org. That way people can still access ubuntuforums.org via its domain, and converts can access a better domain name (imho). I would also try to get an optional single sign-on going for all of the official websites.

I would also have irc.ubuntu.com be a web-based IRC client that connects to #ubuntu on freenode. Include the links to the support websites (including the wiki) on the default home page for Firefox.
