We felt that, while things like events were an obvious choice for needing their own section, "discussion" ought to be something that everyone regardless of server felt they could be included in. Separate forums would discourage this interaction. While we respect that there are communities on multiple servers, it's our stance that the less division there is between our community as a whole, the better. If people really do feel that discussion threads need to be differentiated, though, maybe the solution is a simple server note in the subject line or main body of the post.
This, really. I've benefited enormously from reading RP discussions by Gilgamesh players (I started C down the villain path largely through a discussion with some of the folks from the Ambrosia FC there). The game lore isn't different between the servers, and much of the RP discussion does revolve around that: Miqo'te lore; the advisability of RPing events from the storyline quest; etc.
Since we've recently discussed tagging subject lines in thread, I agree with Xen here that using a [Gilgamesh] or [Balmung] tag would be a good way to flag server-specific discussions. Otherwise, I'd much rather we all talk in the same forum.
