Well, is is all the way down at the bottom of the list. You're right, pets basically have nothing to do with music. However for many people, pets have the same effects as music, which include happiness and stress relief. This sub forum was a surprise to me. But I like it.
It could also be the most peaceful section of the RRF.
I'm not trying to be a jerk about it. I do love pets, and I have always appreciated seeing pet threads, or pets popping up at random RRF moments. But I do think having it's own forum is a little weird, because it fragments the main forum even more. Many of us here have many passions along with Rickenbacker's. I love old movies, but I think a film discussion forum here would be bizarre. Paul W. does amazing car restoration, but we don't need a forum here for that... I'm quite sure that he goes to other forums to share that expertise.
It seems like so many sub-forums creates more work for our moderators. In a Rickenbacker forum, pets are off-topic, and that's where I would keep threads about them.
