[Nette]

"Home" is just the name for a thread that belongs to a member. Every member can get one and all those threads are in an own section called "homes". For example in this other forum I mentioned I have my home that is called "Nette's art-filled nest" and everybody can contact me there and I post my news there and communicate with people about my stuff.

We also have an "introduce yourself"-section there but it is only for introducing, not for further communication.

The thought behind this is that people who come together because of a special subject (like DR here) build a community. So the question is: is this forum just thought as a place for news and gossip about DR or also as a possibility for DR-fans to communicate with each other?

In the first case homes make no sense here. In the second case it makes no sense to send people to myspace to "to keep in touch and to get to know each other better" (see EF myspace).
