Yeah, neither the wiki nor any other source allow you to actually discuss class related issues. The forum allows for some back-and-forth.

I actually support class forums in a way, but I'm cautious that they would water down the usage of the current forums and cause the forums to feel stagnant. During the day there is not a ton of posts as it is (outside of the several Fourthmeal threads that constantly pop up about taco bell and peeing in peoples mouths).
That being said, EQ is 11 years old, I'm fairly certain all class related issues we could discuss would be a rehash of something that's already been beaten to death (except for a caveat I'll mention below). The wiki would be a better place, I think, to post all of this rehashed information, and we would get the refined end result of the rehashing rather than the gory horse meat. I, for one, want to be able to find acurate info (like wowhead for EQ) without going through a forum.
On that note, wowhead does allow users to post info on each entry for further information in a forum style which might satiate peoples need to discuss class based (and all sorts of other in-game topics) in a focused way. At least that would mostly keep the info on topic if each post was assigned to a particular facet of EQ and the discussions branched out from there. A hybrid of the wiki and wowhead (that is integrated with the P99 site somehow) might suit our needs here?
As for the caveat, P99 does have some bugs and differences that didn't exist in live, and thus have not been chomped on like the coarse hairy meat of a horse. These are the types of things that class forums would be good for, but I'm not sure there is enough differences to warrant class forums and not just post this kind of stuff in the bugs forum. After all, anything that is different than live would likely be considered a bug (even if it cannot be fixed here for any number of reasons).
