It appears suggestions go in here now, so here this is.

I was wondering if we could try having a profiles forum, where every member of CurvedSpace can create their own topic for their profile. In the first post they can put whatever they want about themselves, like a bio of some sort. Or they could provide pictures of themselves. Or create a portfolio of some kind. Or random quotes. Yeah, you know.
Besides the ability to create profiles, members could directly talk with other members in the open by replying to their profiles, kind of like a community site like Myspace/Facebook, except this is just for CurvedSpacians.

I think it would be nice to have since our attempts at establishing an active chat community has failed repeatedly, and this could provide a nice alternative since we are all spread out across the world, making the time zones a bit... off for instant chatting.
