Don't see the problem personally. Sometimes people are trying to get a quick answer or a wide range of responses and the more traffic the better...

Yanbu. It's tedious.

gamerchick · 28/01/2014 17:42

I don't care. I rarely look at which board I'm In.

DrNick · 28/01/2014 17:43

on that basis there would be NO topics that some of us want to hide

dull sleep threads, dull parenting crap

Yanbu. I have hidden the topics which don't interest me, so I don't have breastfeeding, dogs, prams or camping on Active Convos. And then some bugger posts a dull question like: "AIBU to ask you how for a pushchair recommendation?"

There's a reason there is so little traffic in some topics. Because they're fucking dull.

MardyBra · 28/01/2014 17:46

Are you just posting here for traffic OP?

You loathe people? That's a bit harsh! :o

LetsFaceTheMusicAndDance · 28/01/2014 17:51

YABU and a bit silly.

BeverlyMoss · 28/01/2014 17:51

I get you OP, although WHORES is a bit strong innit?

I do think that's a bit greedy to go grabbing all the traffic when others are sensibly sticking to the correct topics and waiting patiently for replies.

DrNick · 28/01/2014 17:51

some days, yes, yes i do Wink

DrNick · 28/01/2014 17:51

OP posts:
pictish · 28/01/2014 17:51

I never know what board I'm on either - I just go from active convos.

OP yabu. I think people can post where they want.

RobinSparkles · 28/01/2014 17:52

I don't hide topics. No point as most things get posted in chat or AIBU anyway.

AIBU to ask you what your favourite soap is? Etc

Sparklingbrook · 28/01/2014 17:52

I have more hidden than not. Grin

I don't mind people posting for traffic if the proper topic is dead.

Anyway I thought everything was just shoved in AIBU for ease now. Grin

"Don't see the problem personally. Sometimes people are trying to get a quick answer or a wide range of responses and the more traffic the better..."

But can't you see how rude it is? It's like walking into a party, turning off the music and yelling over all the other conversations.

MissBeehiving · 28/01/2014 17:53

Were you in the Tufty Club DrNick?

MardyBra · 28/01/2014 17:58

It would be easier if more people used Active convos.

DrNick · 28/01/2014 17:59

i was!

OP posts:
MeepMeepVrooooom · 28/01/2014 18:04

Mardy if I got my knickers in a twist evrtytime a poster said or did something rude I'd have a permanent wedgie. Not my idea of fun.

MissBeehiving · 28/01/2014 18:12

Grin I could tell, you know
