Please use CHAT for your pretendy AIBU

[80sdrummer]

And no of course I'm not BU and this is why:

Chat disappears after 90 days so it doesn't clog up MN servers hanging round forever like AIBU does.

If MN don't have to store all this stuff then we just might not have as much down-time or advertising to pay for the servers to hold it all.

I know people use AIBU for traffic but MN don't need to store an "AIBU to ask which pushchair is funkiest?" until MN implodes.

Well said potato salad!

What was that for potato? I think that's very sensible 80s Peace and love!

Shouldn't you have posted this non-AIBU in chat, so it doesn't clog up the servers?

Shrugs
Is there some massive backstory here, because I really don't understand the hostility. It seems like a sensible suggestion.

YABU, because all the dullards hilarious types that post mock-AIBUs are all so much more speshul and funny than everyone else and therefore the rules shouldn't apply to them. Or something.

Just put everything in '30 days only'. In fact don't post anything, ever.

Please use CHAT for your public service announcements.

And you posted this in AIBU?

If I had faverolles then those who only live in AIBU wouldn't have seen it.

Shouldn't this be in Site Stuff?

Let's face it, Mumsnet doesn't need to store half the shit we all post though! Taken to its logical conclusion most stuff should be in chat... So YABU

Only trying to help potato salad and clr - it costs money to hold all this data, so MN have to sell our souls with ads to pay for it, or the servers grind to a halt and then we have site outage.

BTW I didn't report your post that has just deleted, I'm a big girl and can take being told to fuck off

Look lets let mnhq do the techy stuff and edicts
As opposed to you
A bird with be in bonnet

Am I the only poster on Mumsnet who takes no notice whatsoever of the ads?

I can see them, but I just never look at them or think about them. I think I have my own built in ad blocker.

Perhaps people might just consider looking in the relevant subject forum - so they'll see eg the exact same pushchair question has been asked three times this week already.

And check Active Convos before starting eg the 8th thread on PB being on some telly programme.

Ads pass me by too, just peripheral vision haze.

I don't think yabu actually - it is kind of annoying to have stuff like 'AIBU to ask what time the next train to Bradford is' or whatever. The answer is yes, you are - google it or post it somewhere else

Take a happy pill dudette and chillax!

if you don't like an AIBU don't click on it. Easy.

There are ads?!

i have got 'Do not track me' and never see an ad.

What did potato salad say?

I have an ad blocker.

Potato wanted to sell her snot coloured bugaboo wiv accessories and free parasol
