As moderator, I have to keep my eye on all the threads in this forum. Not everyone does the same. I know there are people in the butterfly thread that never come to this thread. Just as the bird people don't tend to visit the bug threads. So when I see a butterfly picture in this thread, I think about all the members in the butterfly thread who would want to see it, comment on it, maybe ask a question, and they aren't getting the opportunity to do so. Also, what's the point of having different threads for various subjects if people just ignore them? We might as well just have one thread where we post everything, but then that would be chaos.
