I don't see why the entire population of this board should all go over to fauna and sign up, just to check the corn forum there, just so that one or two people can talk about cornsnakes with us, without having to sign up over here. I'm sure that will be taken as "overdramatizing" it, but in effect it's what it really comes down to:
1- people over here sign up at fauna so that they can post on (and need to check on) the corn forum over there.
or
2- people over at fauna who are interested in corns sign up over here (it is free, so it's not like this is such a big deal) and come over here when they are interested in talking corns.
If someone is a member of fauna and wants to talk about cornsnakes with other cornsnake enthusiasts, yet they aren't interested enough to sign up for a free account on this site, I don't see why I would want to talk to them about corns. I mean, there are thousands of users here, including many big names, as well as specific categories because there's so much to do here.
Why would I want to go elsewhere to talk to them? :shrugs:
