Can we have a cull of the topics list?

Discussed this on the AIBU thread in site stuff.

People get pissed off witg the fact that some topics are too quiet and so people post stuff in aibu when it shouldn't be there. That may be because loads of people hide topics which do not interest them, so some topics get no traffic.

Do we really need to have so many topics. For instance, could there not be a Pets topic. Is there reallt any need to dogs, cats, hamsters, chickens, horses, FISH to have their own topic really?

There are too many sub-topics I think and it is a pain in the arse I think.

There are too many sub topics imo. Pets yes...segregation no.

Can't we just combine ALL the animal topics into an "All Creatures Great And Small" and have threads for the chicken keepers and the fish filleters (or whatever)

I hear the hamster threads don't go anywhere, they just go round and round

And it's impossible to start a bunfight in the chickens topic.

No one has bothered with the World Cup 2010 topic for a while.

Funny that.

But I think the cat topic is purrfect.

I know what you mean. You'd have to be barking to post in the dogs topic, and I'd definitely say nay to the horse topic.

Fish topic quiet, eh? I guess there's no-one to fillet Grin
