Mountain Sage
Well, sort of like a category in which someone can keep a running thread of their life and journey towards SS and can ramble on and change topics, etc. without someone getting bent out of shape over the subject being changed, because there really isn't a subject, other than the ongoing saga of our lives.
Someone can access that category, scroll down to whoever's life they've taken an interest in and have a back and forth with them, without disrupting someone else's thread. I had noticed a couple of folks who seemed to know each other outside of the forum and they were carrying on a conversation about things that had not happened on here or was not mentioned in any posts. They were doing this in a regular thread that everyone was participating in....
Though it didn't bother me at all, I hated to post on there and interrupt their "catching up" time and it occured to me it would be really neat to have a separate category for this type of thing. That way we can all get to know each other without having to leave the forum page and access home pages.
Its a way of getting to know someone better and a place where they can feel they can express themselves more freely and folks can converse with them without being thought of as imposing their views on others. A place to post pics of what is going on in their lives and such that you can view later and reference in conversation.
I know the homepages are supposed to be for this but they seem so cut off from the main forum, as opposed to one of the threads that show recent activity. A little less public than normal threads, but still in the mainstream enough to note replies.
Its just a thought....not really a pressing need or anything. Just experienced one on another forum and thought it was neat. Sort of like the thing the Parson's Wife has going on over on the BYC with her A Journey Through A Different Way. This is an example of a running blog and seems a highly successful thread there.
