I don't know if this goes here, but on my recent visit to the zoo, a father asked his son about the leopards, calling them tigers, and his son corrected him, telling him they were cheetahs. In my head I was thinking 'your father was more right'
"I don't like the new exhibit at Beauval. It seems to be falling apart." "What did you expect from the Termite House?"

It is true that the fantasy zoos forum has been very active during the first peak of the coronavirus pandemic, when zoos were closed almost everywhere.
I'd say they've been very active (moving at a fast post pace) the past 2 years, I dont know about before then.
@ZooBinh is correct, that forum has seen rapidly rising activity for about 2 years now. In one of the graphs on this page (ZooChat is 16 years old!) (35/post #43, second graph), you can see the Fantasy Zoos line begins an upward ascent at the beginning of 2018 and starts spiking in mid-2018. Could also be true that the pandemic and closures have increased its activity even further; also potentially true that it's just more noticeable now because the pandemic has caused a decline in other forums.
