	Why is that everytime Dogster adds a new forum the Raw forum and the Home Cooked forums get bumped? Why can't they just add them to the bottom?

	It's ALL the other forums...not specifically the raw forum. I would guess they add the new forums at the top so people notice them?

	Actually from what I've noticed, all the new forums are right after the food & nutrition forum. The health forum and the food & nutrition forum have always been the first two. It would make a lot of sense for the raw and homecooked forums to stay right under the food & nutrition forum, since they all have something to do with food. I don't suppose it's really a big deal with dogster how the forums line up, but to some people (me included), having the forums in a sensible order goes a long way and is really helpful if the order stays basically the same so you don't have to wonder if a forum disappeared or not. I agree that new forums should be added at the bottom, or kept within the grouping of forums that it goes with.

	I believe they put the new forums at the top so they are more easily noticeable. I don't see how it matters, really...the raw forum isn't more important than any other.

Where can I run- today?

	Because the last 2 forums to be added were both Advertiser-based ('Mighty Dogs' and 'Bissel'). I'm certain part of the deal is for them to be more noticeable, 'above the fold'.

	Kolbe is right, those forums were basically created to target banner ads. Small dogs is pushing mighty dog canned food and dogs and a clean home is now pushing bisell spot bots. But I'm sure other products will be advertised later. That's why they are more prominently placed...they're bringing in $$ from advertisers.

	I think all of the Food related forums (Food/Nutrition, Raw, and Homecooked) should be one after the other. The advertising/new forums (Small Dogs, Clean Home, etc) should be at the very top, and all of them would be under "New to Dogster". But thats my opinion.

	When they add new forums, I think they should put them at the top then after a while move them near other related forums. They are a bit jumbled up right now and it does irk me. I like a bit of organization. I would group them as: Choosing Puppy Small Rescue Breed Forums Railroad Health Grooming Clean Home Food Raw Home Prepared Behavior Service Agility Law Travel Lifestyle Edited by author Fri Nov 5, '10 1:21pm PST
