Already have it broken out by servers, have a new message for each.
So, no vendor locations? Want to put planets they operate out of? Or just name, skill level, and services, thats it?

For me, the point of this list is to havea nice place for anyone who needs it, to find an active weaponsmith on their server that provides the services they need. The main reason I would like to include all of the information is exactly the reason Ferrek stated above. If there is just a name, skill level, services, then the player is going to just add all of the WS into their friends list and wait for the first one to show up and ask them where their vendors are. But if we include business name, maybe weapon tag, vendor locations, etc., then the potential customer could go do some research and find what he feels is the best weaponsmith on his server. Before any WS that is listed even logs on, he/she may have visited all WS (more likely all 12-point WS) shops and looked for the things he feels is vital in his/her weapon statistics.
My point is, once the initial work is done (converting all the information into the new form), then its all very minimal editing. I already have one thread that is dedicated only to signing up for the WS Listing, which will be linked from them actual WS List. All we do is sticky the List thread, and all of the information is there that is needed. Once a week (or maybe even more) I will go through and add, edit, remove players information. If I ever decide to stop doing this (which will be quite a while since I love to do this organizational stuff), it is easily copied and pasted into another person's posts and will be easy to manage.

I agree with keeping the info to a minimum (as Mor-Dan suggested), but would add a vendor waypoint to the information.
So:
Name,Server,Skill Level,Waypoint/Planet
So:
Name,Server,Skill Level,Waypoint/Planet

I like what I've seen in some of the other professional forums, but I really don't have much of a preference either way.
