I've noticed some intriguing behaviour on forums over the years and started a light hearted blog taking a look at some forum politiics and various forum shenanigans.
I'd love members to contribute with their thoughts and stories.

The title idea came from the book
'The Human Zoo'
What intruguing forum dynamics have you observed?
Plese note, nothing posted on my blog thus far relates to any of the discussion threads here.

a petting zoo, very interesting....
petting animals are more domesticated, docile, generally tame. Inexpensive to care for and not very intelligent (sheep, goats, hens, rabbits)
Hmmmmm
Me thinks this isn't what you meant, but it's an interesting spin.
ps. There be lions and tigers and bears here too
I like the direct animal analogy. Perhaps we could elaborate on this by asking people to offer what forum zoo animal they'd be were they indeed an animal.
Or---- start with animal categories and explain them in terms of types of poster
For example a dog could be defined as
a member who is loyal to the forum. Who defends it and helps police it and may at times work for it. They might occassionally bite anyone who threatens it.
Anymore?
