Most of that stuff is available with the click of a username.
In the interests of keeping the forums from looking cluttered I think it's better to have things readily available for those who want them (ie; in a drop down menu)
As opposed to having stuff written everywhere because most of the time it is irrelevant.
Location is visible if you chose for it to be displayed.
As for a news section, without the dreaded Autobot, anything that is posted will need to come from the forum members & can go in the pub/bar/pit sections as often as you wish to find and post it.
