This has come up before in the past, as has been mentioned, and each time it has we say the same thing, "show us". We have yet to see anywhere near the kind of discussion traffic to substantiate such a forum.
It's not like creating the forum is the problem. The issue is that things like that depend on a balance. If we create that forum, the lack of traffic causes the following things to happen: someone makes a thread, and then they'll complain that their forum gets no traffic. Then people will make pet threads in General Discussion or Living because they know that to put it in "Tilted Pets" pretty much signs its death warrent.
I'm not at all opposed to the idea, as an idea, but there isn't the "need" created for it. Like I said- every time this comes up, once or so a year, people insist it'd be a bustling forum, but we've never seen any indication of that with the low number of such threads in general discussion and Living.
So I'll just repeat what I and the other mods have said every time this has come up, and that's "show us."
Oh- and going to the General Discussion board and starting several pet threads all at once doesn't make it seem like a need is there. We're not short-sighted; we consider the frequency of such threads over time, not just whenever the issue flares up.
