Okay, here are my ideas.
1.Spam forum
The spam forum would be like a restricted, self-deleting after 24 hours version of Off-Topic where you could spam as long as it doesn't violate any rules. A script in place similar to the one on the Trading Board would delete all posts after 24 hours. Also, you could only spam with text, links, or small pictures (nothing bigger than 240 pixels by 240 pixels, or 56KB, whichever is smaller.)
2.Art and Prose Forum
Since some people here like art and writing, a forum for artists and writers to share their creations would be nice. You could post anything that isn't adult (no porn, no erotica, no hentai, no yiffy, no anything like that), and it could be ASCII Art, pcitures, fan-fiction, original stories, or even comicx you drew yourself, just as long as it's clean.
3.Link Forum
The title explains itself. A lot of people post links to various things, so if a forum for this was available, it could all be kept in one place. Nothing adult or illegal would be allowed, and posters would be restricted to 4 posts a day, either new threads or replies, and unlimited edits (maybe). This forum would be esepcially good for people who want to advertise their website or blog, or maybe put up a link to a video or webcomic. Some might even use it to put links to their favorite products or to recipe sites.
4.Miscellaneous RP Forum
This would be a forum to roleplay in different settings or scenarios that are not Illarion-related. You could roleplay Dungeons and Dragons, Shadowrun, Big Eyes Small Mouth, Kobolds Ate My Baby, anything. Heck, if this forum idea is allowed and I complete the sourcebook to Marasadi Tabletop, I'll share it with the community and make those who want to be play-testers play-testers! Oh, and you'd have to keep the RP clean, as in no major swearing, or cybering.
5. Merchantile
Do you make stuff that you want to sell? Looking for something rare? Post things you want to sell that are appropriate or things you are looking for that are findable online for purchase, and be sure to keep it legal, clean, and friendly. Would have the same delete schedule as the RPG Trade Board.
This is my first suggestion set. Please review them before posting. And I would love mod input. I especially want the Art and Miscellaneous RP Forums, as if I were running a forum like this, they'd be essential to the creative spirit.
My own forum..heh, I'll look into that this year.

But
Deinarious should have his own forum; he posts too much!
Sorry I just guessed that Cromwell appears usually pretty unimportaint so I wanted to state that he is allowed to say something at that board too. Guess noone questions your position
*g*
Anyway.
Proposal rejected.
Dei: There are enougth possibilities to create free board on the web, where you can post what ever you want and noone has to read it.
