<Ahem> So would you use a WWYD topic?

44 replies

Greensneeze · 06/05/2009 16:35

I thought it might take some of the heat out of AIBU

that way people posting on AIBU would be choosing the more "robust" style of response

and WWYD would be a bit more neutral....

the old "MN Jury" idea fulfils two different briefs IMO - might be good to separate them

Yay or nay?

Ta-da. New topic here

What would CJ Cregg do? That's usually my yardstick (moving as I do in the sphere of American politics ).

tinylittlekittens · 07/05/2009 21:39

Can you make it "What would Chuck Norris do?"?

LadyOfWaffle · 07/05/2009 21:14

Yep!

theyoungvisiter · 07/05/2009 21:13

yes - good idea - would be a better place for some of the AIBU threads

squeaver · 07/05/2009 21:11

Yes do it.

thisisyesterday · 07/05/2009 21:10

no i think we need far LESS topics! there are bloody hundreds of them and so many overlap.

I say, complete overhaul. get rid of lots (inc AIBU)

BecauseImWorthIt · 07/05/2009 21:09

Well I already have a burning issue I'd like to post on WWYD ...

EachPeachPearMum · 07/05/2009 21:04

WWMND?
I would use it.. I always have decisions I can't make agonise over...

IWantedThatName · 07/05/2009 16:38

Actually I think it would be the ideal partener to AIBU. If we have AIBU why can't we have WWYD.

I very frequently feel like I want to post in such a topic but can't.

ShannaraTiger · 07/05/2009 16:38

Yes

MerlinsBeard · 07/05/2009 16:36

chat will slowly disappear and be replaced with a "whats for breakfast/lunch/tea" topic and a "tearoom/bar/scuttlebug" section etc

Can't believe that this has a yes when bringing back feeling depressed was given a no...oh well....

No not instead of, additional. We're happy to give it a try and see if it is popular, if not - we can remove...

MerlinsBeard · 07/05/2009 16:31

Is this instead of another topic?

alphamummy · 07/05/2009 16:26

Yep give it a go i'll use it, aibu is far to scary and gets peoples backs up straight away! Thanks mn whens the launch?

JustineMumsnet · 07/05/2009 16:23

Well we're happy to give it a go and see how it goes... does that sound like a plan?

myredcardigan · 06/05/2009 18:28

TBH, I think we run the risk of there being too many topics and many more threads going unanswered.

Oops, we forgot to come back to you about this, didn't we?

Sorry

yes, both - in the hope that WWYD would be a bit less confrontational

AIBU invites a yes/no response IMO

and YABU has become one of the most terrifying four-letter conbinations in the language

pointydog · 06/05/2009 17:37

WWYD and AIBU, I take it?

Yes, I;d go on both
