To me this sounds something along the lines of the real time auction log that is available;
http://ahungry.com/eqauctions/, in the sense of a third party website for direct live information. If this page had added a LFG type IIRC (classic) chat room along with the steady stream of auction updates, you are essentially killing two trolls with one stone.
I wouldn't ask for a separate forum just for 'Looking For Group'. If you really want a group start messaging people, make some friends, or join a guild. However, I do like the idea of one location where active players looking for a group or a group looking for more people can convene.
Tristantio possibilities?
