To clear up the stupidly long topic list, and get everything down to ten topics....

[LeBOF]

Can it be done?

Can you come up with a list of ten topics which would cover everything (ie not just your favourite stuff)? You are allowed a sensible number of subtopics, say four or so).

My suggestion would be:

Pregnancy (you'd have to subdivide to cover TTC, antenatal choices, testing etc)

Children

Education

Special Needs

Relationships

Chat

Hobbies (includes Telly addicts and Pets, maybe camping etc)

Products (selling and reviewing thereof, style and beauty)

Politics (current affairs, feminism etc)

Food

Er, is that everything? Can you do better?

Hmm, I've forgotten Health. Eleven topics.

Can you only hide topics?

Or can you hide sub-topics?

If b) I'll sign up.

I'd like to hide, for example, The Royal Family but not Politics and I'd guess they'd come under the same heading.

And Site Stuff.

Twelve. You are allowed twelve.

Our two chief weapons are surprise, pointy sticks, and difficult questions..

No, wait, our three chief weapons are...

Trills

Let's say you can hide subtopics then. And particular idiots (fell swoop a hide poster option, why not?).

What did the Romans ever do for us...

Yeah.

And hide several threads at once option.

When you go

"Hey I'll start a thread on this!"

It might, possibly be a good idea to invest more than 11.2 seconds of thought into it before posting
This is why Mom HQ doesn't take us seriously.

Hmm. You might have a point there.

Trills.

13. AIBU. Cuz MNHQ will never drop it, IMHO.

The Bad Mum Site used to have a "F%ck Sh%t B%llocks" topic which was great for letting off steam.

Yes there should be a Random Bollocks thread for stuff like

Square poo
Twisluts
Wolefs
Nobdies
OMG-there-is-a-mouse/spider/snake/kangeroo-in-my-kitchen/bedroom/loo/cereal threads

What? They'll never agree to that, Reg.

It needs doing IMO.

Several suggestions were made here

I promised to do stuff with a spreadsheet but got bored forgot.

Maryz genius

Yes - I totally agree BoF - the topic list is tooooo long.

I had a mini-rant about this last week. MNHQ have promised to 'look at it'

Keep up the pressure, if we bore them to death about the subject they might do something about it to shut us up.

I wish there was a topic devoted to: 'I have lost my mobile / purse / wedding ring / toddler's special toy, any ideas where it could be' as those threads have got to be the most pointless ever.

Ooooh - GOML - careful or that Olivia might ban you!

Or the "I felt my little toe itching earlier, and that never happens- could I be pregnant?"

Can we cut down the topic list? Can we cut down the topic list? Can we cut down the topic list? Can we cut down the topic list? Can we cut down the topic list? Can we cut down the topic list?

::Tee goes to sit with GOML::

I don't mean it Oliviaaaaaaaa.

I love MNHQ. LOVE YOU. You laughed at the floral fuck offs.

I agree.

Really, why don't they just do it.

Gimme the HQ 'puter and I'll do it!
