>>BTW, what's the deal with these Sub-Forums? I noticed one for Asian Ratsnakes. Does that mean that posts about Asian ratsnakes shouldn't appear on the main ratsnake forum? Are we going to start splitting the main forums into smaller forums for different species, subspecies, variants, etc? Would be nice if we knew what the general consensus is.

We are simply adding new forums in a different format than people have been used to seeing on this site in the past. This will help provide a more focused search for individuals that simply want to go to something rather specific instead of wading through a general everything forum.



The general rat snake forum is still the general rat snake forum it's always been and will continue to be open to discussion any kind of rat snake. We are not forcing people with asian rat snakes to stay in their individual forum or anything like that. Those individuals who WANT to discuss specific topics and don't wish to wade through a forum of pretty much everything don't have to - they now have a place they can specifically go to if they choose to. Folks that find they don't like using subforums are not being forced to use them either - they have the option to stay away from them and stick to the main parent forum.



It's surprising how many 'new forum requests' we get. Some requests are rather frivilous while others are well thought out and good ones and some are in between. I hate turning people down because the real estate on the main page is pretty limited therefore I have to be pretty discerning on whether there is justification for a new forum being added. The subforum format is going to be good because it lets us put in more forums that people DO want without taking up that real estate space on the main forum page.
