'AIBU is one of the more interesting chat sections on the internet jeez'

It's good you can admit you might have got your assessment of AIBU wrong, I totally agree with you.

Love AIBU. I cannot remember how I first came across it,but am addicted. Grin

DeepRedBetty · 03/03/2013 01:31

Nothing like a nice bonkers AIBU when RL is being particularly unexciting. YABVVVU!

TheChaoGoesMu · 03/03/2013 01:36

Why do you think AIBU has killed mumsnet? I would say it makes it better personally.

no there is no law but it aibu attracts thick heads doesn't it

Well, you're here, so maybe it does.

Hth.

AgentZigzag · 03/03/2013 01:41

I've never seen so many spam threads come up at once as there are on it tonight Shock

Someone obviously thinks we're the kind of birds into football to have something in common with the men in their lives Grin

YANBU

TapirBackRider · 03/03/2013 01:53

YABU - it's not an easy board to participate in, but a worthwhile one all the same.

Buzzardbird · 03/03/2013 02:05

I am getting bored of reporting spamming now. Would be easier if people just reported and not comment so they weren't always at the top of the threads Angry

garlicbrain · 03/03/2013 02:10

OMG Shock OMG Shock I hardly ever look at the topic list in AIBU, but I just have done thanks to your thread!

Bloody hell! Shock

Spammybottyrama. YANBU!

Here's a screenshot of AIBU, about an hour ago - for anyone who doesn't believe me/OP - webaunty.co.uk/mumsnet/random/mnfootyspam.png

AgentZigzag · 03/03/2013 02:31

The early MN birds will thank you in the morning for not making them feel they missed out on anything by having to go to bed earlier garlic.

They're such nosey fuckers Grin

GothAnneGeddes · 03/03/2013 02:31

I love AIBU, except when people are being nasty/abrasive for the sake of it. Generally, it's my favourite bit of Mumsnet.

Tortington · 03/03/2013 02:36

YANBU AIBU is shit, there is a place for most things and for others there is chat.

AIBU was meant to be tongue in cheek and ironic - in that you post BEcUASE you are unreasonable IMO - it was originally funny.

now its not - now i get annoyed at the lazyness of not posting in the proper topic. Or posting to get high traffic, perpetuating the fact that other topics don't get the traffic and thereby negating the search function that others may learn from your experiences whatever they may be.

IMO if you post a serious question here, you are a mahoosive twat of epic #fail quality

garlicbrain · 03/03/2013 02:37

Grin It's nice to be appreciated, Agent.

Oh, I forgot .. Wanderlei. UFC. Silva. Stann. ... Do I get a bonus or something?

Wink
AgentZigzag · 03/03/2013 02:45

I misread UFC as UEFA and thought it was some crappy footy match, but just reading the other thread it's some kind of mixed martial arts cuddling Confused

Tsk, honestly, the things blokes get up to left to their own devices Hmm

But what about desperate people at a vulnerable time in their life looking to start a thread that gets more than just one or two answers Cust?

That they'd rather risk a roasted arse than risk rejection by it seeming nobody giving a flying fuck, or not post and be alone with whatever's upsetting them, says something doesn't it?

Eastpoint · 03/03/2013 08:13

Bump

MidnightMasquerader · 03/03/2013 08:16

'Killed MN...?!

MN is live and kicking if you ask me. I don't disagree that AIBU is thoroughly unpleasant and downright ludicrous a lot of the time.

Misguided to suggest it's killed it, though. Quite the opposite, I'd have thought.

fluckered · 03/03/2013 08:19

its the lack of AIBUness in posts that annoy me? "i woke to a man climbing in my window wielding a baseball bat and balaclava, WIBU to ring the police?" Hmm of course YABU was freezing out last night ye should have asked him if he wanted a cuppa and rang him a taxi.
