I have a couple ideas
I have a couple ideas for new features to add to this ever growing eclectic collection of mildly amusing (as my motto states) features. One of them is to create a page that is like the old People Pages, but have it be for Common Man/Woman. On it, you could tell him or her stupid, nice, or annoying things he or she did during the day. It would be like a punching bag. Accordingly, he would respond by taking on particular reactionary personality traits, like defensiveness, humility, pride, shyness, passive-aggressiveness, or self-infatuation.
My other feature is the "First Rejection for Aspiring Writers" page. On it, you could submit your new poems, fiction, essays, etc. And it would automatically send you an email thanking you for the submission but unfortunately declaring that at this time your piece does not meet the requirements for the upcoming issues. If necessary, it would also supply a few random comments on specifically why your piece was rejected. Then, once revised and edited, you could submit it to the "Second Rejection for Aspiring Writers" page, and, well, you'll get a little more detailed explanation of why your piece doesn't "fit" with the current ideals being expressed blah blah, and it could go on and on.
I'll probably never do either of these things, so I thought I'd mention them at least and give them a proper burial in a shallow blog.
