I'm sorry to jump in on this in such a negative way, when such a great game has been produced and so much work has been put into a smooth and successful launch.... but:
Are you guys insane? Server forums are an absolute requirement. When the community is as large as this one is things have to be paired down some otherwise the voice of the people gets lost in an deafening roar of voices. Also, you have a different evolution of common practices and prevalent opinions from server to server. In a phrase, no one cares what joe schmo and his guild from some other med pop RP server thinks about endgame progression. And he doesn't care about the mechanics of such and such boss on the PVE server down the block.
People want to feel they're part of a community of THEIR PEERS. Throwing everyone into one big smelting pot of a forums is a great way to alienate people from your server.
You could take your same logic and get rid of the class forums - yet you've had those for going on 2 years now, because Imperial Agents want to talk with other Imperial Agents, not Troopers. Players on The Harbinger don't want to talk to people from Lord Praven server.
Please reverse this.
I beg you.
