Personally I think the forums are a terrible place to store guides. A Wiki would be much better suited. I would like to see Paragon Wiki house these guides. It has guides to some things but it's mostly game mechanics and systems, not guides to powersets and archetypes.

The problem is that a Wiki is even worse than the forums - because you tend to get articles filled with tasteless mush after they've been rewritten so many times to get everyone to agree on the contents.

Maybe somebody with programming know how could create a site whose purpose is to host guides in an easily searchable format. Like a big database or something. Maybe even one of those great people at CoH Titan knows someone who could pull it off, or maybe it could be added to one of the existing sites... Don't know... just throwing ideas out there.

I'm actually glad there aren't an abundance of guides.
Good guides as noted take a lot of time and research (in the form of discussions, play time, comparison through experience with other alternatives, and re-evaluation). If everyone who leveled a character thought they could just slap a guide together, we'd be hard-pressed to weed out the good from the bad.
As an alternative to not finding a guide for whatever you're seeking, try searching in the forums for a topic thread discussion. Those tend to contain the essence of particular aspects of what a guide would gather together and present.

I wrote a guide several months ago and the changes to Invulnerability are going to make it quite obsolete come I13. I have plans to update it but it will take some work.
This is also why the Prima 3-Ring Binder Guide thing never worked out. Way too many changes to keep up with.
