After seeing the number of pet-related threads in IMHO and MPSIMS (and starting/participating in a few of them myself), I wonder if a “Pets” forum might make sense? I know that the board recently splintered discussions of sports and games into “The Game Room,” and there might be reluctance to splinter any further right now. Plus I understand that it would be silly to try to categorize every type of thread; also, maybe there isn’t enough pet-related content to justify a whole forum.

It’s just a thought. 🙂

You mean before they make a politics forum that has been asked for 53 years? My eight ball says “not likely”.

I thought that forum was called “Great Debates.” 😉
