Heh. I think you should make the side quests their own section as in the old forums. I'm sure that some of the new people would like to have their own little side quests, as there were so many in the old forums.
Well, that's up to CraigStern to decide: quite possibly there is simply not enough time to implement all the side-quests folks suggest. Still, there is certainly nothing stopping you from posting ideas in the wish-list forums, and even do collaborative side-quests. ;)
