I've been wanting to start a crafting fan site for some time because it is one of the areas of an MMO I think really adds to player interaction and the in-game economy. So I've started a new forum called PantheonCrafters.com.
You can access it here:
https://www.pantheoncrafters.com/
It is a brand new forum so I'd love to see some people come over and start discussing crafting with me. Please note that as Visionary Realms haven't released any information on what trade skills / crafting classes will be in the game yet I made an educated guess and assumed it would be similar to the EQ system. So the forum layout may change when Visionary Realms release some more information on what the actual crafting skills will be in the game.
I'm still working on the site so a few things might change but the general layout is pretty much done. Don't worry about the ugly placeholder text in the forum footer that will be gone shortly. If you have any feedback on the forum please feel free to post here or on the PantheonCrafters forum and I'll do my best to fix it and / or discuss it with you.
Everyone is welcome :).
Am onboard with this, thanks Crom! Hope to help you in it's success anyway I can :)
Signed up! Very good initiative from you @Grom, well done :)
(if i may suggest, you currently don't allow for registering without a full DoB added. Personal data and all.. you might consider changing that to optional; if ending up with forum members below 18 worries you, you can simply add an "i am at or above eighteen years of age" in the terms we need accept prior to registering)

I noticed that for some strange reason the forum software blocked your sign up request. I've now manually approved it. Sorry about that.
This is the first time I've used Xenforo so I'm still learning my way around the admin panel. If anyone else has any problems then please either post here or private message me and I'll get it sorted ASAP.
Edit: I've disabled the configuration that caused this problem it was aggressively checking users for spam against a spam database of some sort. Since I've disabled it there is a small chance that spam might increase but I've also changed a couple of other settings to make sure that spam is stopped before they can even register which should solve the problem.
