Yes this is the second time this question has been asked
I don’t see a problem with the name, but staling the logo and change it a little could be..

A single word can be trademarked, however I find no indication that faerun holds a trademark.
Especially if it is "officially" spelled 'Faerûn' these days. Therefore I don't see a problem, even if WoTC would trademark the word later on. |

There are also fair use by the public. The forum is considered a Fansite, so there are more liberal guidelines.
Just as long as you don't put up a fansite for Star Wars. =) George is a bit to protective of his trademarks. |

Note: I'm not a lawyer but I don't think anyone would have an issue with a name like that..... It's not the first time I've seen boards with a name like that, especially on the online site that I used to frequent, where they hosted online games. |
