New topics for old

[JustineMumsnet]

Hi folks,

We'd like to add some more topics that have been requested but to do that we need to retire a few less well used ones or the talk home page will be unfeasibly long... so here are our suggestions:

Hello to:
Am I being unreasonable?
Geek stuff
The sandwich generation (elderly parents etc)

Goodbye to:
Member profiles
Christmas (until about August at least)
Creative writing - sorry budding authors - would you mind using other subjects/ culture vultures from now on?
Sports (other subjects for you too please sports fans if you don't mind?)

Please do let us know if you've any violent objections.
Best,
MNHQ

Join recipes up with food? people tend to use both for similar things?

I like Zippitoes travel, with/without children.

and get rid of parties and clebrations they only use it to maon about party bags

could nurseries not go under childcare,nannies etc?

please keep skiing or maybe change it to winter sports, for the dog sledders amongst us ?
Love the idea of travel with/without kids.

There's a long running (excuse the pun!) Runners thread in Sports but I think we've been in Health before. If you get rid of Sports can you move it over? Thanks.

I've always thought having current affairs and In the news was a bit much - surely one or the other would do, or both in one?

Saggarmakersbottomknocker is this the thread you mean? We'll move it over. Thanks

Just read a suggestion for an adult topic as people keep complaining about the type of sex threads.

If member profiles goes can we only post photos through our new member profile thing (if that makes sense)? I think it would be quite nice to still be able to put photos up. thanks for keeping the runners thread going!

I am sad that member profiles has gone - I used to look people up on there sometimes

The latest additions and adjustments to the Talk topics, following Mumsnetters' requests, pleas and bribes are as follows:

New topics
Pedants? Corner ? in Other stuff
Gransnet - in In the club
For free - In Classified

Name change

We trust this meets with universal approval. Thank you.
