That discussion was a year and a half ago, and it concerned subforums. I am suggesting a new forum, on the same level as "Feeders", "Behavior" or "Photography Techniques and Equipment". Fauna is a general purpose pet site, and it has its good and bad points. It isn't as informative as CS.COM, nor is the general membership of as similar mind as is here.
No one is required to subscribe to a particular forum or to read it. Those who aren't interested in it can ignore it. I do, however, think there is significant interest, and significant benefit to be found in, a forum about snakes closely related to corn snakes. What information there is currently available here gets lost among the vast array of threads in "General Chit-Chat". We have a forum about feeders, but this isn't mice.com. We have a forum about photography, but this isn't kodak.com. I don't think having a forum about other North American snakes closely related to corn snakes is going to turn this into gophersnake.com.
