I thought more in terms of: everybody posts on "off topic forum". Some of them belong there. Other refer more to personal events, like "last cig" or "any new years' resolution" which do imply a bit of a soul sharing, or you'"tell me a little bit about yourself" could be classified under a different name. It would help people find info about eachother easier without being forced to navigate through a crowded forum.
The rest, like "wallmart scandal" or "sea food receipts exchange" can remain there. Off topic will become a sort of "current events" while "private" will be like "personal rants" on LS, if you don't mind my comparing.
You are right, the moment things get a bit too... let's say close, no one will want to open up. I don't intend to ask about childhood molestation nor will that forum be dedicated to this type of "opening up".
My idea was more of a classifying the things we know and share about eachother. You're right, maybe it won't work. Maybe it will. It was more of a suggestion, since we're getting larger and larger. But since this is the only family friendly site I've ever been on beside LS, I have no idea wheather and how it can work.
