Do You Want a Piggy Profiles Forum?

Well, it has been suggested we need something similar to a Piggy Profiles forum, so I´ll stick up a poll and you can vote.
If the vote is overwhelmingly for, I would like submissions for a different name -- something with out the "Piggy" in it (more dignified).
And I would be looking for enforcers to move topics to the appropriate forum to keep it clean. I don´t want to do it.
So, feedback welcome -- tell me what you think.

Oh please, God, no! Not again!
If you really have to have one, please put it in a separate forum so I don´t have to read them. I don´t deal well with the "ahhhhhhhhhhhhh" and "ohhhhhhhhhhhh" after each post or picture.

I have mixed feelings on this one.
I´m always interested to learn who members are and what pigs they have, especially since they don´t always keep the same user name from forum to forum. On the otherhand, I don´t want to wade through pages of cutesy baby talk and dozens of pictures of the same pig in different poses just to find out who´s who.
I have enjoyed some of the stories about past pigs, Seansfamily and Precious Pup etc. spring immediately to mind. If there´s no Profile forum I guess those would belong in Cavy Chat?
There is enough space in the member´s user profile to list information such as number, names and type of pigs. Perhaps members could be encouraged to introduce themselves there?

I like Pigpal´s idea about using the member profile. As she said, that would be a good place to put number of pigs, names, etc. Any longer stories about new pigs could continue to go into Cavy Chat.
I very seldom visited the Piggy Profiles on CG, mainly because of the same reason Evangeline dislikes it. Too much cutesy stuff.

I liked reading some people´s profiles at CG but also found a lot of them overwhelmingly awwwwish and so generally ignored that forum. However, some stories (eg SF´s) were great and it would be nice to see them here.
I´m in favour of either (a) going with the simple user profile suggestion or (b) another profile forum with a rule that posts that just say ooooohhhh or ahhhhh are deleted. Oh, yeah, and the phrase "guinea pig bootie" should be banned. Aren´t I a cheery soul?

I could make it a post only, no reply forum. I think (but am not positive) that a post could still be edited by the author. Another alternative would be to encourage Seansfamily to write up an opus we could have a link to. I had originally envisioned the forum as a creative outlet vs. these are my pigs, this is what they look like. I think it´s the stories and twist that make them come alive.
