Are you speaking about here in the general section? I have always felt this section was a part to talk about anything that didn't necessarily have to do with our pets because all the other topics cover pets as thoroughly as is possible in my opinion. I always thought the General under the Other heading is just a general chatting ground about anything and everything. As far as the dog general, cat general, pet general, etc. topics, pretty much all the posts that I see are about pets. If you only want to read about pets, why not just stick to the pet forums and skip general? Unless I'm misunderstanding. And I'm not taking offense (I don't think), but just a bit confused if you are feeling like the topics in General should all be about pets when that is already covered elsewhere.

That said, occasionally even here it does seem a little overcluttered with posts, such as a certain person who was very obviously recently just trying to get a higher post count , But that was already addressed by many others in a different thread.

Anyway, I know for myself if I am limited on time and just want to catch up on the pet-related things, I stick to those forums.
