It seems a lot of members are feeling like no one cares here about how they are feeling etc.
So here is another suggestion - how about a "Personal Issues" forum. Where people can make threads, stating what is in their mind, real life or otherwise and then can get help / advice of just support etc from other members?
We have a how are you feeling thread, right? But the thing is people might write "Sad", and then that is that. This forum would be a place to learn WHY they are feeling that way, and counsel each other, again whether it is something online or in real life. Because without that, at the moment a lot of people are starting to feel ignored / unappreciated and then eventually they DO tell us what is up but by then they feel unwanted and end up leaving.
I think its at least worth having, whether or not it rectifies the problem is another matter but I think it could.

This is a really good idea. I wouldn't benefit from it but it seems like it's been happening a lot lately. Just check the "How are you FEELING?" thread.

Progress, march on.
With the veil over our eyes,
we turn our back on the cause.
'Till the day that my uncles can be united by law,
when kids are walking 'round the hallway plagued by pain in their heart.
A world so hateful some would rather die than be who they are.
And a certificate on paper isn't gonna solve it all,
but it's a good place to start.

The TLK forum Lilymud has something like this actually.
It's a Private section only visible to logged-in members of the forum so that people can post about things going on in their Real Lives for advice & feedback and not worry about it being found by any other than registered users of the forum.

It might be a good idea, but keep in mind that lately a lot of members were complaining that MLK was turning into the "My Drama King forum." So as good of an idea I think this can be, now is not the time to add something like this.

^ On the other hand, it would make a place to contain all the drama, making it easily avoidable.

^ How is one opening up to people about things that are bugging them in life, going to cause drama?

Because one of the reasons their upset can very likely be because of another member on the forum. But it seems like it's a good idea to me, as long as people keep their personal issues off of the forum.
