Personally I'm all for this idea.
I say this with love and care, no offense, it gets annoying to see how much drama happens in the Member Announcements. That's not what that place it's for, it's just for members to announce if they are leaving for a bit, maybe tell they are going to update a few things or whatever...but if you want to rant and discuss problems and such, you should post it in a board that IS about listening to your problems and solving them. Or you don't want advice but just want to rant.
I think I made a rant topic here before, but that didn't fly at all here.
Here's the link if you're interested:
