PCB, I agree that subjects not about animals should be put in General. I really don't think it's neccesary to post the same thread in 3 different Forums! I believe, if people are interested in cats, they'll look in the Cat forums.

I usually log on to "Todays active threads" and don't always notice which Forum a thread is in. I look at the titles, and if I think it's something interesting for me, I'll open it. If I post a thread, I try to put it in the appropiate forum.

I don’t always have time to look at all the threads, so I try to reply to posts interesting for ME, whether it's a newcomer or an "oldie". But I admit, I tend to reply more to the posts from the members I know, and that’s because it’s easier – I know more of the background already. Sometimes I don’t have time to look through them all, so it can be a bit random which I reply to – but usually the ones on the first few pages. Then later, I try to catch the ones I missed. BUT, there are certain posters I’ll always look for.

As most of you know, I’m a catperson, but I HAVE posted in the Dogforum too.

There are certain threads I don’t bother to open, these are “I’m bored” and titles which don’t really say what it’s about.

Even though I don’t post as much as I used to (limited time ) I don’t feel left out. I’m aware that cliques? have been formed over the years, but I don’t have a problem with that. I think it’s nice that some members“click” and get to know each other better – I have got some very good friends here, and have met some of them too. When I joined, there were probably only half the members and it was easier to keep up and get to know everybody. There are still some I’d like to know better, but to do that, you have to invest the time.

That’s it for now!
