It's under "Cooking" along with General Cooking (which brings you to this board) and Cooking Gallery.
It's a place where we can doff off our cooking clogs/toques/favorite aprons and sip some wine/tea/juice/water while kicking around conversation (and try to get the garlic smell off our hands).
This folder was designed so we could file conversations and actual cooking discussion separately. Now if I could figure out how to move "chatty" threads over to 'Round The Kettle, I'd do it. (Sigh...)

A suggestion....
If a post made elsewhere, (another forum somewhere, maybe ? LOL), is experiencing a 'throttling' due to narrow-mindedness, or 'cliqueishness', (Just a couple of the more mild words I have heard used frequently, lately. LOL) etc.... maybe starting the thread over, over here in the kettle, would lead to a more thorough, (or at least, different), discussion of the topic ? In other words, maybe we are being too hesitant to start a discussion here, on a topic that is already being discussed elsewhere. I am wondering why. Do we hesitate to re-discuss something at a party, just because we already discussed it at work ? (And maybe even with some of the same people...)
As for moving threads, you should be able to do so as a moderator. Open the thread that you want to move. Choose the 'edit' option above, right next to the reply option. In there, you should see the option to move the entire thread to another folder. (Here, the folders are called forums.)
I suggest that you create a test thread somewhere, and test moving that first. Once you have mastered moving it the way you want, without losing it to the ether, then try it with a 'real' post.
If you need help along the way, don't hesitate to email me, or PM me.

why is there a "round the kettle" when there is a "back porch"?

I guess you can't leave the kettle long enough to go to the porch...
In any case, it's an attempt to keep the food-based conversation filed with like subjects, and the chattier threads in a more casual atmosphere. I guess it doesn't matter much where people have their casual conversation, the porch or the kettle -- but everyone knows people hang in the kitchen at parties.
