I think it should be seperated. No, it doesn't *need* to be now, as it isn't that large. But personally I have had quite a few websites throughout the last few years, and I have always found it much easier to change while small, instead of waiting til it gets huge.
I love this site, and many people do, and because of this, it is my opinion that it will only continue to grow, indefinately. I feel that seperating now, or soon will save WebSlave some headaches later on. I'm sure he has, but I know from my experiences, changing something this early may not be easy, but wait til you get 300 posts a day there, then its damn near impossible. Then even people that want the change, get upset because "they can't find it".
I also think that this will help people search for specific animals once the site does get bigger. If you are looking for a colombian boa (ie), you definatley don't want to weed through 200 ball python posts to find it.
Ok.. I have said my peice. Either way..webslave YOUR DOING EXCELLENT. I personally feel this would be a good change to do to make it easier on everyone when (NOT IF) but when this site gets huge.
Have an excellent day!
