Yeah, I'm not that bothered. I think we should get rid of most categories tbh, just have AIBU and 'whimsical musings', but that's just me.

Northernlurker · 11/04/2012 22:22

I think people should try and keep to appropriate topics but it's up to each individual to consider the audience they want. Nothing more irritating to me than the thread monitors turning up and hyperventilating because a thread about school isn't in 'Education' and a thread about washing isn't in 'housekeeping' etc etc

I have droned on and on about this, but I reckon most topics should be binned.

And I like AIBU. But I think it should probably be renamed the Rants topic.

Proudnscary · 11/04/2012 22:25

Didn't we have this exact same thread about a week ago?

Anyway - YANBU. I will post exactly where, when and what I like which is largely in Relationships and AIBU.

So there.

Proudnscary · 11/04/2012 22:26

I agree there are waaaaay too many topics, GetOrf.

Yama · 11/04/2012 22:26

I don't mind the moaning about it but I think it is a snub to the op and subsequent posters when MNHQ move a thread.

OutragedAtThePriceOfFreddos · 11/04/2012 22:26

I'm sort of in. A thread on AIBU has to be vaguely AIBUish, but as long as its not blatantly a chat topic, I'm am prepared to let it go with good grace.

I'm mature like that.

CupOfBrownJoy · 11/04/2012 22:27

yeah me. Just Don't Give A Fuck Smile

storminabuttercup · 11/04/2012 22:28

A separate rants topic would be good! I only post in chat or food really. The odd AIBU.

But I like a good rant!

Yama · 11/04/2012 22:28

And by 'moaning', I mean the posters who point out that it is in the wrong place. They are usually comical. MNHQ moving it is not.

WorraLiberty · 11/04/2012 22:28

What I find amusing is when someone takes it upon themselves to tell a poster off for posting in the wrong section....but then they join in the thread anyway?!

What's the point?

D0oinMeCleanin · 11/04/2012 22:29

But what is the point of having so many topics if no-one is going to use them?

Although I must admit I use chat for almost everything I post. It's due to laziness, there are just so many topics now I can't be arsed to scroll through them all to see which one is most appropriate. I am sure we don't need even half the amount of topics that we have.

I still want a poo topic, though Grin

Mrsjay · 11/04/2012 22:29

i have been all over Mn and always end up back here or chat is nice too , but alot of the topics not AIBU but im not fussed ,

bibbitybobbitybunny · 11/04/2012 22:30

I'm with you, been told off many times!

WorraLiberty · 11/04/2012 22:31

Hopefully MNHQ will get the message one day.

Though I won't hold my breath because as far as I can see, most people feel there are far too many topics.

MissAnnersley · 11/04/2012 22:34

I couldn't care less where a thread is posted. I do get pissed off though at posters who tell the OP off for posting in the 'wrong place'.

Too many topics anyway.

2shoes · 11/04/2012 22:36

i will not sign another sodding petunia

Bohica · 11/04/2012 22:37

Too many topics, it makes my eyes hurt if I click on all topics.

Can we not have a tidy up then?

ExitPursuedByABear · 11/04/2012 22:39

Couldn't give a flying whatnot where stuff is posted.

But I never start threads cos I am too scared.

MissVforVendetta · 11/04/2012 22:40

Signed, with a flourish.
