Before you go off and make your own forums, you'd better start thinking about what you are going to provide to users. A forum nowadays is not just a place to hangout and chat; that's what aim, mirc, msn, etc.. are for.

A forum is more of something that is used in conjunction with the resources that are provided to its members.

If you don't have any new good resources, your forum will fail miserably. Replicating the info posted on other forums is not gonna cut it either. You need something new and something that will draw people and most important keep people there.

Good luck!

Well well. Of all the competitor forums, I've never seen them say anything quite along those lines.

I am the master of all that is Google.

Silkroad Skills
Silkroad Characters
Silkroad Forum
Silkroad Help
Silkroad Builds
Silkroad Online

A couple of those come in second , but ONLY because the keyword is in another sites base url.

I particularly like the self-help one. Thats funny. =)

I did lose 'Silkroad Guides'. I'll work on that.
