To only use chat and abui on mumsnet?

[JazzAnnNonMouse]

Because other boards aren't as busy?

I tend to read the active board mostly unless I have a specific dilemma, which is usually full of AIBU or chat threads

YANBU

But you'll find it does cause a few posters to get their Bridget Joneses in a right old knot

I usually just go to Active Conversations, then maybe check out the few boards I have special interest in. There are a lot of topics with a lot going on if you look. So YABU

I'm with you... All the juicy bits are in chat and AIBU... maybe that means i shallow?

FWR - that's interesting :)

Fwr?

Feminism / Woman's rights.

Lots going on there at the moment.

I go on style and beauty, aibu and feminism.

I'm much the same, with an occasional lurk in Books and a quick trawl through Baby Names because I like to see what names people are considering for their DCs and to marvel at how rude some people are prepared to be when commenting on name suggestions.

Me too. If I'm wasting even more hours than usual on here I might venture further though

Now going to check out the bitchyness on baby names as reported

What about relationships?! Great place for stories and sage advice, though often a little sad too.

There are loads of threads in AIBU that are more of a WWYD where advice is sought and offered, and not all the Chat threads are light-hearted fun; some are looking for support or a cyber hand to hold. So IMHO it is possible to be a "full member" giving advice and support within those particular sub-forums.

Anyway I've got no kids and I know nowt, so I'll have to be content with being a "half member".

Me, I'm a board whore! I flit through Relationships, Primary Education, Secondary Education, In the News, Politics, Behaviour/Development, AIBU, Chat, Special Needs, Classics when I want a giggle, and there's others I flick through when I have a specific problem.

I just love MN!!

Forgot about Teenagers and Preteens, and probably lots of others I've used too!

I just use active convos, I don't always notice what topics the threads are in.

Hmm a lot of chat and aibu are supporty and wwyd

I just don't use the board that way.
I have active conversations open and click on anything that catches my eye. Half the time I don't notice what section a thread is in.
I have customised my mn though so that topics I really don't care about don't appear.

But do what you like

I use four boards

Chat
AIBU
baby names (for the lolz)
Christmas

I never notice the sections.

It's why ive sometimes been known to put YABU/YANBU when it's not AIBU.

Maybe I should start using active convos - I always miss stuff!

Yanbu i stick around here and chat andoh i do venture into teens sometimes,
