The most natural change would of course be to name this a Nordic forum instead of a Scandinavian one, since that is what we already have in all but the name.
We don't consider Finland a Baltic country. Also, from visitor perspective, I'd imagine it makes more sense to include Helsinki in this forum than in a Russia/Baltics forum.

However, although not geographically or linguistically part of Scandinavia, we can live with the moniker Scandinavian. The name of this forum is quite well established and I don't think changing it really has any added value.
