MNHQ I'm starting to think that you are actually my mom.

All this hemmering and hawing when I ask sometimes nicely for good, self-improving and beneficial for the site things.

Next you'll be saying "We'll see." and hoping I'll forget about it all.

Snot fair.

Did you remember to also ask for an OCIABRNCAAWM topic? (Of course I am being reasonable, now come and agree with me)?

Tee2072 · 03/11/2011 12:30

BTW, Chaos, if MNHQ is your mom, do they have your toaster? Grin

Drastic slasher thread.

LeBOF · 03/11/2011 12:07

Shit, piss and pus.

ShirleyKnot · 03/11/2011 12:04

I just want a SHIT and PISS topic which I can then hide.

Does it though?

I just think the problem with AIBU is it's so friffing attractive, it gets used and abused.

Make another topic just as attractive and then it would stop the nonAIBUs been posted in there.

People don't want to use Chat sometimes as it's a bit pouffy and transient/inconsequential, but it doesn't really fit anywhere else properly.

Ford Topic?
MN Christmas Card ArtWork thingumy?
Food & Recipes could be combined?
House Swaps?

That just sounds like you'd be moving away from everything goes in AIBU not in the right place to everything goes in Chaos's new topics and not in the right place

We are the ONLY site on the WHOLE of the Internet who aren't allowed a new topic.

It's sooooooo unfair

If you don't behave, I will phone Santa

What I have asked for and was toldit was worth considering is a ChatLite and a ChatHeavy (not actual names but descriptiins).

ChatLite for poofy inconsequential stuff.

ChatHeavy for:

more ponderous stuff
stuff that people manipulate titles of to try an erroneously stuff them in AIBU
threads that are worthy if keeping but don't quite make the grade for Classics.

Hopefully ChatHeavy would become the goto place for high traffic stuff and avoid AIBU being clogged up with stuff just because it's many posters' first port of call.

I would also support fewer topics on here and the extermination of a few emoticons.

Does that pass BOF muster?

They should have one in one out. They could then have 'twighlight topics' where they warn you that the 'ferret breeding section has very low traffic and will be removed if uptake does not increase'.

They should also have a section called 'help' where responses must be polite and you have to post something helpful once a week or you get banned for being a selfish shit.

There. But you won't listen to me. You never listen to me. You like the others better.

LeBOF · 03/11/2011 11:51

We need a clear up- I'm starting another thread.

AtYourCervix · 03/11/2011 11:50

yes. delete world cup 2010. and mumsnot. and WWYD.

tooearlymustdache · 03/11/2011 11:49

I only want a new topic Tee.

Snot much.

And all the other sites moms let them have them.

You could try asking them to try a one in-one out policy. Nobody uses mumsNOT do they?
