The personals clearly are not serving their purpose; at least for the guys in the TMF; and probably not for the girls either.
The mods and management have exerted effort and time to create this resource, and it is approximately wasted as it exsits at this moment.
Suggestion: Rename the thing as a biography section; perhaps "auto-biography" if it makes others happy.
The USA sections of the personals forum are split up into four sections. We could split three of these into biographies for the male members and one for the female members.
While this isn't perfectly defined and designed in my mind like a printed circuit board, I would like to suggest some general broad possibilities.
Sections A, B, C, where,,,
[A] is for very brief (255 byte max, like the chatroom) profiles. These are for short readings
is for intermediate level introductions, maybe 2K or 4K bytes. Most people could fit a 500-to-1000 word theme in that space
[C] is the big one. Open this up to 16k bytes, even 32k or 64k. This would allow for large (five-to-ten thousand words) self-written descriptions (if anyone is that egotistical, I suppose).
The bio in [A] could have a link to the bio in and that one to [C] and whatever else works. The member's profile could then just have a link to the short bio and anyone who wants, can read as much (or as little) as the member wants to talk about himself.
That leaves one section left over.
This one will be for the Female members. Let them have whatever they want, since there are so few of them here.
By simply renaming the forums, there will be little administrative work involved. Mods correct me; but it would just be changing four text strings, wouldn't it ?
