to think it's no wonder that a huge proportion of threads in _Chat & AIBU are off topic when there are about 175 topics to choose from?

'cause it's a bloody nightmare to find the topic that's actually appropriate for the post? Much easier just to chuck it in Chat or vaguely AIBU it.

'tis virtually impossible to find stuff. yy there's advanced search but that doesn't always work help.

Also, AIBU to think that while a cull of topics probably isn't possible or practical a bit of a reshuffle would probably really help?

Oh, and that's +/- 175 'proper' MN talk topics. MN Local and the For Sale / Wanted ones were granted temporary independent republic status for counting.

I will raise this in the office tomorrow but generally a new topic will only appear if one has been asked for.

Thanks for your suggestions on this thread (although at the accusation of lazy management Fermina!) Have passed these on to the team and we'll come back to let you know what we decide to do/not do.

Don't quake in your boots Fermina, you're right; this has apparently been on our to-do list for a long time. It's just v v time consuming so we've all avoided doing it (though I hasten to add that's cos we're over-worked rather than lazy ) However, thanks to your reminder, we have now conducted a plan and the original 'products' in 'other stuff' should be gone in the next few months with all it's contents moved across to the other products boards.
