Maybe have a template something like this?

Name (real or producer) :
Soundcloud/social media link (if not already provided in profile) :
General Area (if people want to meet irl, maybe we can make a meetup.com group) :
Favorite Genre :
How many years have you actively been producing?
Are you looking to collaborate? If so, who would be your ideal collaborator? :
Do you want to be a WIP buddy? (someone you just bounce ideas off of) :
Hobbies (Other than producing obviously) :

Having a brain fart right now, this is all I can think of, but yeah...

Personally, I find it a bit hard to meet new people, even on a forum like this, don't know why, but that's just me. I think this would make it easier for people to make new friends quick, like tinder?

I asked mat zo this (in a pm), and he thought that that's something for social media, that this is a strictly music forum. Now, don't take my word for it, and but if he doesn't reply to this thread that's roughly his view on the site, at least regarding a "General/social" section of the forum. But as said, I'm not speaking for him! Only conveying what he said to me.

Although it might change if we're nagging enough! Personally i think it's a good idea.

I think it would be a good idea to do this in the forum instead of via social media. There are so many different social media these days, plus maybe producer A is using Twitter, while producer B is only using Facebook. It might be easier to connect at 1 place, just here at the forum in my opinion.
