Why is there a baking topic?

114 replies

JenaiMarrHePlaysGuitar · 10/05/2012 16:12

I thought there was a move to rationalise the number of topics on MN.

It was bad enough having Recipes and Food. Now it's Recipes and Food and Baking (oh and Weaning I think). Wouldn't one "Feed The World" topic be preferable?

Sorry if this has been covered already.

I want a home brew topic

I love the baking topic. I post in other sections, but this topic is really useful to me. I never use relationships, or primary....but don't think we should slim those down. Everyone's likes are different. A general food topic would get really busy (I think) and threads would get lost/go unanswered. The benefit of sub topics is threads get a fighting chance of being answered. I have posted in chat and my thread has disappeared before its been looked at.

That's not to say some sub topics are needed or can't be combined....just leave baking alone alright? Or I'll bake buns and throw themWink Grin

Ooooh I have a bowl of manky bananas

HoneyDragonWearingLederhosen · 17/05/2012 20:42

And if anyone gets rid of baking I'll kick 'em in the fanjo/ nadgers

IslaValargeone · 17/05/2012 20:40

Listen people, I would still have a bowl full of manky bananas had I not come across the baking topic today. Leave iiiiiiiit!

HoneyDragonWearingLederhosen · 17/05/2012 20:39

I think each topic should have a sponsor/founder

Getorf can have rants
Hecate can have AIBU as she is always reasonable
Hully can run mindless gibbering
Pinot can be in charge of baby animals
Dooin can have Big animals
Sue can run telly/Peter Andre

And so on and so forth

LordFlasheart · 17/05/2012 20:35

Baking?

Slubberdegullion · 17/05/2012 20:33

Careful now Jenai, careful

You know not with whom and what you mess.

Which topics do you think contain the highest concentration of posters with knives, saws, big fucking chopper things the name of which escapes me at the moment, intimidating mallets, other pointy shit, snares, shewees, technical clothing and dontfuckwithme goretex shoes and knowledge of edible flora.

mm?

Yeah GetOrf. I think you should

And fwiw a Wholesome Dullards topic sounds like a lot of fun.

Get0rfMoiLand · 17/05/2012 20:23

I would feel at home in a Moaning Old Cows section.

I would love a wholesome dullard section. I would be among my people.

SilentBoob · 17/05/2012 20:22

There is someone asking for homework help in AIBU RIGHT NOW. Bet they don't know about the homework corner.

LordFlasheart · 17/05/2012 20:21

How about a Wholesome Dullards section?
