Tell MNHQ why you use Mumsnet

Here at MNHQ we would really like to get to know our users better and would therefore love to know why you use Mumsnet and if Mumsnet has managed to help you in any way.

Is the main reason you use Mumsnet for the advice from other users? And if so, what advice do you look for in particular or is it on everything and anything? Do you use Mumsnet as a place to browse the funny threads and have a bit of ‘you’ time? Is it more the product/service reviews and recommendations that you use Mumsnet for? Has the support of fellow Mumsnet users helped you get through a tough time? Or maybe you have created long-term friendships with other users and come on to chat to them.

Whatever the reasons you use Mumsnet and any stories you have on how Mumsnet has helped you, we would love to hear them so please share them on the thread below.

Thanks
MNHQ Smile

Hi all,
I've just been catching up on this. I'm not surprised that FWR is important - probably a bit surprised by what looks like a majority saying it's their main destination. The stats do give a slightly different picture. Here's our top 10 boards in September ordered by hits:
Aibu, chat, relationships, FWR, style & beauty, pregnancy, property, Christmas, Secondary school, Telly Addicts.

This was much the same in August except that Baby names and Sex were in the list and Secondary school and Christmas weren't (seasonal effect). In terms of magnitude Aibu is by far the biggest (around 10x as many hits as FWR and 4x as many as Chat). But it might be the case that Aibu visitors are more in "viewing" than "participating" mode and so perhaps less likely to be registered and therefore post than FWR visitors. We'll look into it and report back.

The reason we asked the question is to try to understand more all the different roles/jobs MN is performing to inform design/ user experience decisions and just generally for inspiration.

Thanks for the input and great stories. Very helpful.
