Forum Idea (What do you think?)

OK last forum post of the day - I promise! I am one of the n00bz in this group so I still don't know much about the other members. I was thinking it might be neat to have a separate "Introductions" forum where members could go to post a quick message with some info about themselves, their interests, and maybe a link to their art/photography/designs or their website URL. It would also be a great way to build the community because we could welcome new members, ask questions, and maybe even encourage some networking and collaboration.

What does everyone else think about this idea? Is there a way to add a section like that to the forum, or should we just do featured member profiles in the upcoming magazine (or both)?
