Let's not talk about cats - it'll only end up talking about toast.
The Cellar works to my mind because of its diversity of subject matter and personalities. For some reason there's an inbuilt respect for the way this forum has self-structured and we interact accordingly without having to be told to do so - and that certainly encourages those who are here to stay here.
It's also something that would be difficult to change as too many of us like the way it is.
We have a critical mass (and I don't mean a communion that's running late or that the bulk of the members are past saving... hmm, second thoughts...) and once established this phenomenon is hard to break.
