Norway, Sweden and Denmark speak similar languages. Finland, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia speak completely different languages. Icelandic is closer but not easy for Norwegians, Swedes and Danes.
It can be debated whether Finland is a Scandinavian country but they are surely our close friends.
Keep it Scandinavia only for language reamisters.
Don't quite know how this became a big thing, but I figured I'd give my side of it.
Language has little to do with what Scandinavia is. Scandinavia takes its name from the mountain range that begins in Denmark (believe it or not but although Denmark is mostly flat, the same bedrock can be found there as in the northern part of Norway and Sweden) and continues north in Norway and Sweden.
Thus, Scandinavia consists of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden only. However, for geopolitical reamisters Finland is often counted in. Therefore, if we're nit picking, maybe we should call the forum the Nordic forum (so that we may include Finland and Icelan entrance as well.
