This is a suggestion for the Minecraft website and yes, you can suggest this stuff. I know that some other, "less detailed" threads about these things have been suggested, but I hope mine is detailed enough to keep.
So Minecraft is fun, right, but we want a place to show others our stats. Yes, we have Minecraft Forums, but the only connection you have is a possible username that doesnt have to be correct. So I think on the Minecraft website, the profile page should have an upgrade. Scrap everything on it. Then put a nice, MC Forums, kind of user page.
The page would show your name, avatar (which is also your picture), stats, and a message board. The stats would include everything you have in the Minecraft game stats. It also shows if you have a full acount or not. Your name on the Minecraft website is your Minecraft username. The avatar and picture shows your Minecraft avatar, which is rotatable. The message board is like yours on the MC Forums.
There will be a new tab, 'Minecraft Community.' In this tab, it will show news like the forum here, for example it will show if a new snapshot or update comes out. But there is a user search where you can search for users. Other people can be your online friend or best friend. Best friends can join your game if you start a new singleplayer with the right settings, like LAN.
This new part of the website should be an official website, meaning Jeb and Dinnerbone should be on it and posting how they do on twitter.
Thanks for reading, please +1 if you agree, I will add more hopefully, so comment!

Good point. I guess it wouldnt show what server you play on, and people can only play your map if you invite them.
Other game sites with profiles don't have stalkers, thats a lame excuse in my opinion :/
Your right, but I think Minecraft should save to players, not computers.
Especially with the achievment system. I hate it how I have to redo everything :/
