how about we rename the personal logs forum as the personnel records forum and have 2 sub forums within it, 1 to carry on the personal logs as people are doing now and a second sub forum for service records? the service record similar in developing a character but can include pre fleet background storys and be dded to in a 3rd person style.
i for one would love to write up a back story and pre tsn fleet story as im not great with creative writing i would never be able to keep up with personal logs.
