    Hi

    I think first one is better because your site is ranking well so by doing this you will get an extra benefit of this.

    I agree with all ... most of the times the first one (directory) is better, but I'm just thinking here if you are already ranked in first SERP for your keyword it might be better to make the forum on a subdomain so the user generated contents won't affect your keyword density. Cuz as I understood from your question is that you're not adding the forum to enhance your rank but to help your visitors.

    My two cents,
    Nabil

    forums should be on sub-domain level. if it is on main root level and multiple users come, it becomes hard to maintain bandwidth.

    not a new domain but create a sub-domain and transfer your existing pages to that path.
