.com is an international TLD (domain extension), it one of the first extensions released, now days you can get extensions such as for example .com.au which is an Australian extension. Businesses in Australia will utilize this over a .com as it provides them with an address that users know is Australian and this may suit their business model better.

There is a huge demand for .com domains as it gives you and will always give you an international presence.

The original TLDs were developed to offer the user an idea of what the content of the site might be about.

.com = commercial (company/business related)
.net = network (an ISP, for example)
.org = non-profit organizations
.gov = government entities/agencies
.mil = military
.edu = school/university

As you can see, .com makes the most sense for businesses. This is why most companies preferred that TLD to begin with, and now it is considered the norm. Also, that is the only TLD "most" people know, or at least, the first one that comes to mind.

I think so because its look like a professional extension and most of the people use it .. Why do we see most of the forums with .com extensions only??

In the beginning, the .com was meant for commercial organizations, .net for internet service providors, and .org for non-profit making organizations, so most of the companies started using .com, and it got popular.
