Its not all about names but also about parameters
for instance, would you have
Code:
function get_thread($thread_id);
or
function get_thread_by_id($thread_id);
You could also have the get_thread method return all threads in its current context (so all threads in that forum) if no arguments are specified
Edit:
A method name needs to say as much as possible in as little as possible
so if get_forums (note: plural) is enough for you to know it will return multiple forums based on its context aka position in the forum hierachy) it would be preferable over get_child_forums
