Do you decide which threads to post on via Active Conversations, or do you stick to particular topics?

In other words, which are the first few pages you habitually visit when you log on?

Conception - because I love looking at people's pregnancy tests and get caught up in everyone's excitement. I also do it to fulfil a breed of my own as it's very unlikely I will have another baby and that makes me sad. The conception board gives me somewhere to escape to.

AIBU - because it's just brilliant!!

I visit the Parenting and Sleep forums to see what current topics are running and whether they may be relevant to me.

Relationships - because reading some of those posts helps me to realise that despite some of DH's faults I'm very lucky to have him.

I go to Chat and AIBU, and travel if I want some advice - as a non-parent, I don't go to the parenting boards. But I might have a peek at Pedants' Corner.

SweetValentine · 19/02/2015 22:43

AIBU, Chat, threads I'm on.

craftysewer · 19/02/2015 22:43

Chat, AIBU, General Health then Style & Beauty. Occasionally if I've exhausted them I go to 'Last Hour'. By this time it's usually the early hours of the mornings and I can't sleep.

magimedi · 19/02/2015 22:46

I've answered your question in your Chat thread, Minty.

Why post it everywhere? Genuine question, not (I hope) being an arse.

JustWantToBeDorisAgain · 19/02/2015 22:56

I just look at last 15 minutes usually a good mix

I just go to active (I'm on the app)

Priceypizza · 20/02/2015 01:15

active for me.

Ohfourfoxache · 20/02/2015 01:33

Aibu, chat and relationships mainly. Sometimes infertility - I'll pop in to see if there is anyone I can help, likewise with the place with no name. And threads I'm on.

Sometimes arts and craft if I'm feeling particularly creative, and Christmas from the end of August to January.

If I'm just having a browse then "last 15 minutes".

I spend enough time on here to justify DH filing for divorce - if I looked at any more Topics I'd be living very dangerously indeed Grin

HeartShapedBox · 20/02/2015 02:06

aibu, then chat, very occasionally relationships and then if I'm really bored then I hit active.

RainbowRabbit33 · 20/02/2015 03:57

Yep, I'm pretty much an 'AIBU only' kind of person. The odd foray into Chat, plus I did get dragged into Baby Names for a couple of days when I was PG. Then I realised they all wanted me to call DD Jacinta Horatio Middle Class and I came to my senses!!

To access the site I usually Google 'AIBU'. And wonder if Saki Aibu the Japanese actress is any good...

DD ended up with a terribly MC name and I blame it all on MN!

whatsagoodusername · 20/02/2015 05:06

I usually do active conversations unless I'm looking for something specific.

When active looks boring, I head to aibu or chat for a browse.

TanteRose · 20/02/2015 05:09

Active convos every time!

magimedi · 20/02/2015 08:14

I think Mintyy has proved her point - there are a lot of people who go to aibu only

Clever Mintyy.

Mehitabel6 · 20/02/2015 08:17

I go straight to AIBU and then active conversations. I never go anywhere else - unless it is very boring and then I try unanswered messages.

HowCanIMissYouIfYouWontGoAway · 20/02/2015 08:21

I go on active convos and see what people are currently talking about. Then I have a wander through sn chat, relationships, chat and then I see what people are currently fighting about on aibu, then back to active convos.

Sometimes I pick one of you to AS ...
mwa ha ha ha ha

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 20/02/2015 08:48

I go straight to chat and AIBU, then shuffle over to relationships.

I rarely do active.
