I keep missing forum replies to me, so I wanted to suggest the @username notification. I was just about to post my topic, when I decided to search and see if it has been suggested before. Spoiler: it has. 
So now, my new suggestion is to create something sticky for Frequently Suggested Suggestions! Like a list of suggestions that have been made before, so people can see them at a glance. I had a free afternoon, so I made the sample below. (Er, some of these aren't really frequently suggested, I just found them interesting. Many of them are great reads, and Kim explains things really well.)
Or another idea! Frequently suggested items can each have their separate sticky topic pinned to the top, so people can just add to the ongoing discussion on that suggestion instead of creating new threads.
Anyway, I hope this list helps/informs/amuses someone! It was oddly fun making it.
If you've noticed other frequently suggested suggestions, please add them in a comment below!

That said, this is one of those "future fantasy" features that I'm making no promises about. My list of "critically need" is just so long right now! I also cringe to think about the confusion our character system would cause with this feature. People will just about immediately complain they can't @ reply at anonymous characters to give them a heads up they are being talked about, for example.
Kim wrote:
I've looked at @ replies before. The long and short of it is that they are on my list, but quite low down; the complexity is enormously high given that a single person can have multiple identities (characters) and that multiple characters owned by totally different people can all have the same name, and character names can be changed at any time.

We actually haven't implemented this yet, although it's definitely on my radar and on the features-to-be-added list. It turns out to be quite complicated, given that a single user can have multiple characters, and multiple characters on the site can have identically the same name. A lot of interfaces need to be created for selecting who you actually mean without it being an onerous process. Ideally, it would be a lot like Facebook's @ feature, where when you start typing a name it immediately offers a dropdown of suggestions for people with that name.
I'd also like to offer some controls to people over who can @ them, such as "only let people I have friended @ me" or similar.

You did your homework and this looks as though it took a lot of time and effort which makes linking this page a wee bit painful.
It's a bit hidden and you do have to go lookong for it, but this page lists potential features and where they lie on the importance scale, as it where.
I will say though, you did a fantastic job. I adore the layout and how it brings attention to these topics once more to show that they might be a little more urgency (for lack of a better word) to them.

Hey Demi, it's fine!
I made this more for the new-ish folks like me who're just about to ask for the same thing for the hundredth time. I was hoping to give us newbies something easy to see on the top of the page. 
I did actually find that development page while I was making this, but I think Kim mentioned that she took it out of commission since it was hard to update. Thanks for linking it though! I was wondering whether I should link it myself, since it has such awesome features (like upvoting an idea!) I decided not to since it was older, but I'm now glad you mentioned it.
And I do agree that a few of these suggestions deserve more attention and urgency. Like the Romance slider! Burning, passionate, throbbing urgency!
Kidding, kidding.
I'm simply replying to tell you that that last part- oh! You have me in stitches, Darling. That was beautiful. ❤ Thank you. And thank you for this post.
Well, my dear, it was an... opening too apt to resist. 
Okay, okay, I'll stop with the bad puns.
Okay, okay, I'll stop with the bad puns.
Excellent post. I really like the idea of a RPR app. I still wish they would come up with lifetime epicness. Thank you putting this all together.
