1. Commerce Cafe
Or "Chamber of Commerce" or "Shopkeeper's Corner".
This would be where people with stores can share tips, talk about their issues, and chew the fat. I've had a couple of issues directly pertaining to selling my things, with no appropriate forum for them.
They do not go in Land and the Economy. They are not about land, and they aren't about the value of the Linden. They aren't specifically about building or scripting either.
I like to talk about two things: Building and shopkeeping. For shopkeeping, there is no place, unless you count the dog-eat-dog, chaotic and volatile world of Land and Economy, which is entirely the wrong atmosphere.
It's fun having a shop, and it would be fun to have a place where we can literally talk shop with each other about keeping shop.
2. Real Life in SL
This forum would encompass three things that currently have no legitimate home:
. Real-life businesses. There is no reason why they should be allowed to post in General while businesses indigenous to SL cannot. There are going to be more and more of these, and the Lindens would like to spotlight them, so this forum would do that.
. Legitimate charity events. I know there have been some of these, such as "Relay for Life." Again, the common thread is it is a real-life thing.
. Real-life media coverage. Discussions about articles that have come out, who is in them, etc.
Many of the things under those headings don't rightly belong in General, yet there is no real good place for them where they will be readily seen and regularly read. People would keep tabs on "Real Life in SL," though.
