The reason I think it really would be better in a blog/stories section is that it focuses those threads on individuals, so we really can get to k ow each other better. Plus it would clear up some of the off topic clutter, which is always a bonus.
People love talking about themselves. This is a good way to do it.
This is how I see it, too. Not trying to be difficult lol I understand the trepidation if a site has never offered something like this, but this is an example of how it can work. It's also kinda cool to look back and be like...wow, I've come a long way with ...whatever it might be that you were once struggling with. Like I would use a journal on AF, to share a variety of things...from the mundane to my newfound spiritual perspectives, that type of thing. And of course, content would be subject to the rules of the forum like any other subsection.
