Could we have a nature forum and an intros forum?

[Seahorse]

I know both have been requested before but I can't find a mod response anywhere. If there's a good reason why not, I'm sure no-one will mind but I so very often see new people saying 'I couldn't see where to say hello...' and their posts end up all over. And how many people just never say hello at all because they're not sure where to?

And we have so many people interested in birds, wildlife etc, it would be lovely to see a forum for all those posts too.

I hope I'm not speaking out of turn!

Personally I don't see a need as I think there are rather too many categories already which can cause confusion, I find that many topics could be in several areas and end up using the search facility to find them anyway. That's probably cos we all wander round several subjects in one thread tho, especially some of the longer ones!

However, I know I'm in the minority here and I'm guessing that most people will want the extras, am just finding that there is more and more non gardening stuff on here already which I find a shame - please note that I've already said that I know I'm in a minority here so don't shout at me, loads of people enjoy the jokes and daft stories and like to use this forum for general advice, I just don't understand it!

I was hoping that the nature forum could have specifics for gardening in it, as well as general nature in the garden stuff? There was a 'build your own insect house' on a thread about allotments that would be good to have access to more easily. Also stuff like how to attract beneficial insects etc?
