This forum houses many years of development, tracing back to some of the earliest posts that exist on the board. Its current use is for the continued development of the server and game it has always served: The Mana World.
As well as text memories, perhaps a place to store those last screenshots of your multi-millionaire character with their amazing range of attributes, and common, not so common, rare and super-rare items collected over many hours of levelling and horse trading with other characters.

Is this proposition serious about distributing these items, in-game, for the described reason? If you want these items to record screenshots and text, prior to a wipe, how do you expect your characters to retain them after a wipe actually happens? If you really need a place to reminisce, it would seem more appropriate to simply record your nostalgia on a thread, such as this one. (though maybe relocated to the "Player Talk" forum) In general, I have nothing really against the idea of blank books for player use.. it'd just be nice if they had a more functional use.
