Not because it brings out the dirty bad sad side of MN.

Not because there are lots of fights.

Not because people use it as an excuse to be foul ("well, this is AIBU - what did you expect sucker?")

Just because it makes us look like a bunch of ignorant cnuts.

Every type of subject under the sun gets posted in AIBU. People have not really grasped the concept/thinking behind it.

So when you get titles like AIBU to ask what is your favourite colour/biscuit/film and other similar general nonsense questions ad infinitum

then

it just makes Mumsnet look like a VERY dumbed-down site indeed.

Thanks.

@BitOfFun

I would hope not. Pixie is notorious in the Sleb Gossip threads

Blush I'm outed!

Have you given up the fags, Custardo?

@ChaosTrulyReigns

@ChaosTrulyReigns

Someone's also started a SWMNBN thread.

Oh it's going to be a long night at Biscuit Towers.

HelenMumsnet · 24/06/2011 23:16

@CustardoMightyNonSmoker

Ok, you can have one too

HelenMumsnet · 24/06/2011 23:18

@ronshar

I want a tshirt. Stamp.

Now, we all know that sulking and stamping doesn't get us anywhere, don't we, ronshar?

You can ask again when you're ready to use your manners

HelenMumsnet · 24/06/2011 23:22

@ronshar

Hair hanging over face mumbles sorry missus, may I have one of those viper picture thingies, please. While twisting toe of shoe in the dirt.

Only if you're REALLY sorry.

@ChaosTrulyReigns

I really would like to know HelenBiscuits, does whomever has drawn the short strawis on Friday Night Duty, have an aubldle noise when someone hits the report button?

And can you change the ringtone to play White Lines or Forever In Blue Jeans depending on your mood?

[actually curious]

ha! might suggest that on Mon morning. Not Forever In Blue Jeans, though. More like Everybody Hurts Sometimes...

JustineMumsnet · 25/06/2011 00:34

No

JustineMumsnet · 25/06/2011 00:35

You just need to post more history in AIBU. Job done.

JustineMumsnet · 25/06/2011 01:01

Or maybe more philosophy? or art? Or philosophy of art?

Am I being unreasonable to think that the aesthetic realists were barking up the wrong tree? type of thing...

JustineMumsnet · 28/06/2011 16:08

We are going to make a few changes to the nav bar to try to help with this particular issue of everything ending up in AIBU.

We are removing the direct links from the drop down nav bar to talk topics because it feels like we are leading the witness a bit, as it were, rather than letting people go to talk topics and find the most appropriate one. Sorry for those who love just clicking on the topic from there - you can always bookmark instead [hopeful] - but we do think we made a mistake in adding that feature in retrospect, so we're going to tweak it a little.
