A flatmate suggested that the minimum viable product of EAA forum would be a skin on the EA forum where only animal-related posts are shown. I guess this would at least make it easier for animal people to browse through the latest posts without seeing what might not be relevant to them. Maybe that could be done within the EA forum by modifying how tag-filters work. That is, by allowing someone to see only posts tagged with selected tags in the frontpage. But I feel it’s important that there is a way to do that easily, otherwise busy animal charity directors might still not do it. Maybe there could be animal welfare meta-tag or something and then we could advertise a link to that meta-tag to animal activists. By meta-tag I mean a tag that includes multiple other tags. If we don’t do the EAA forum, it might still be worth at least doing that.
There should be a simple url that gives you the filtered front page for a given cause and keeps you in the cause if you browse normally, e.g. forum.effectiveanimaladvocacy.org.

I would like to see more forum skins/themes in general!
