121 doesn't seem to get enough activity back on FFOF in order to warrant its own sexion, and I think that serios business can go into the general chat section for now - if there's enough serious business to warrant its own section, I could reconsider, but right now I don't think there's enough reason for it.
Which applies to pretty much every section thingy - if you think a section for topic X should be made, start out by actually discussing topic X first. Nobody's stopping you from creating a topic that doesn't have its specific section to go into, so think out of the box and no u and whatnot.
So, 121 won't be active enough atm, and serios business can go into general chat.

Not to beat a dead horse but i think the deal on the 121 section was dismissed rather quickly based off of FFoF's activity.
FFoF was kinda slow to begin with so i dont think thats a worthy place to use as an example.
FCF is very slow (im fairly certain this place has way more activity
) and 121 is by far the most active section aside from the news section and zimbabwe(forum news).
Back in the ACF days 121 was pretty darn active inside SO as well, once again i would dare to say it was the most active section for quite some time.
I think it really depends on the members and how willing they are to jump in and just find someone to talk to. Then after that keep the conversation alive.
This is another tool that could bring members alot closer together and i dont think it should be written off so quickly because one forum was alittle slow about it.
