Am I missing some forum rules?

I can understand that. What I didn't understand is why some topics get merged into oh so quiet and others don't. And why the Lounge still says "general chit chat welcome".
If that's the forum policy I'm not going to argue the toss, but would be good if there was somewhere new members could find out about the policy.

here it is......

Just a gentle reminder for those members who are unaware..... we try to keep the forum as Garter Snake focused as possible. While we love to see pictures of your other pets/reptiles, please find one of the many older 'My Other Pets' threads to add these pictures to. That way, when members log in, the portal page is predominantly Garter related, rather than numerous 'other topic' threads pushing the Thamnophis topics off the page.
We're pretty flexible in this rule, but if we all make the extra effort to keep our threads on topic, we'll never reach the stage again where we have to search through numerous threads to find anything at all about Garters.
