Hi folks,

We'd like to add some more topics that have been requested but to do that we need to retire a few less well used ones or the talk home page will be unfeasibly long... so here are our suggestions:

Hello to:
Am I being unreasonable?
Geek stuff
The sandwich generation (elderly parents etc)

Goodbye to:
Member profiles
Christmas (until about August at least)
Creative writing - sorry budding authors - would you mind using other subjects/ culture vultures from now on?
Sports (other subjects for you too please sports fans if you don't mind?)

Please do let us know if you've any violent objections.
Best,
MNHQ

Yes Southeastastra the moonwatch is still very much on to do list but has been slightly overtaken by other stuff... we will get to it, honest (not sure whether mooncup will sponsor though - we wrote to them but they didn't get back - they clearly don't know their audience )

Does anyone still use the Poetry section ?!

southeastastra · 29/01/2007 11:49

wasn't there talk ages ago of getting a little moon icon so we could see when there's a full one, sponsored by mooncups? that'd be fun

etc

Geek stuff is for techy issues - for people to talk about java and bandwidth and stuff like that - some folks seem to be keen, so we thought we'd trial it (personally, I have my doubts as to it's popularity not being v technically literate myself, but who knows?)

What would geek stuff be? Is it covered by products or am i barking up the wrong tree?

Imafairy · 29/01/2007 11:35

Sounds good to me.

Sandwich gen = responsible for small children AND elderly parents.

WideWebWitch · 29/01/2007 11:34

Agree, like the subset of 'Am I being unreasonable?'
and yes to sandwich generation, feel many of us will end up using this.

sunnywong · 29/01/2007 11:34

no objections, but I don't understand :the sandwich generation. Could someone please explain.
