Yabu. The sex fiends would have a field day.

Littledrummergirl · 25/10/2017 22:15

Yabvu. There is so much more to mumsnet than aibu.

shushpenfold · 25/10/2017 22:16

Nope, unless we have a picture YABU.

Marzydotes · 25/10/2017 22:17

Everything is in the AIBU forum. Everything.

But what about all the sensible people who've hidden AIBU?

Trills · 25/10/2017 22:18

YABU because you didn't phrase this as an "am I being unreasonable?" question, when you EASILY could have.

Posting for traffic Grin

Marzydotes · 25/10/2017 22:19

There may be trouble ahead.....

But realistically AIBU runs the place really.

Hastalamorte · 25/10/2017 22:19

Nope. Woollyhugs, housekeeping, baby names to name but a few, all off of AIBU. Mumsnet can be a very calm place away from here, so YABU Grin

General traffic is AIBU. It can include anything. And it does.

Blackcatonthesofa · 25/10/2017 22:24

YABU we need to keep the Realationship board as well or Anyfucker will be homeless.

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 25/10/2017 22:24

Could we just rename it general traffic. And then get rid of everything else.

toffee1000 · 25/10/2017 22:25

Relationships. Chat. Baby names. They’re all frequently used. AIBU is incredibly harsh so if someone wants to query something they often go to another forum.

Dozyoldtwonk · 25/10/2017 22:27

Please don’t remove Telly Addicts or Christmas without my permission either. Brew

Marzydotes · 25/10/2017 22:27

So when someone posts something relevant to another forum says

"posting here for traffic" ho hum.

OP posts:
surferjet · 25/10/2017 22:27

I prefer chat.
AIBU is just ridiculous half the time.

IneedaMagnum · 25/10/2017 22:28

There are other forums? Shock

outabout · 25/10/2017 22:29

Keep all the other categories and change AIBU to 'General goadiness'.
There are many areas of great thoughtfulness and help over many subjects, AIBU is not one of them.

ilovesooty · 25/10/2017 22:30

If people didn't post everything in AIBU for traffic things might be different.

Marzydotes · 25/10/2017 22:35

AIBU should be renamed.

First prize to the winner of the renomination.

OP posts:
surferjet · 25/10/2017 22:38

AIBU is not as bad as people make out - I’ve seen worse on the politics forum / feminism / relationships / & even style & beauty.

It’s just the ridiculous crap that gets posted here.
‘AIBU to eat a cheese sandwich for lunch’ ......🙄

Marzydotes · 25/10/2017 22:41

AIBU is the biggest traffic generator here just the same. So it will be going nowhere anytime soon.

SunnySkiesSleepsintheMorning · 25/10/2017 22:45

You mean threads like “AIBU to ask if you like fish fingers?” isn’t a totally non AIBU question?! Grin In all the “AIBU to ask...?” threads, I always want to tell them they are BU for asking but that’s dickish, so I don’t.

ilovesooty · 25/10/2017 22:45

AIBU to ask you what colour your bedding is
AIBU to ask you about living in some suburban town
AIBU to ask you if my DH is a dickhead
AIBU to have breakfast after I've had a shower

Hmm
