Request to add a Wee Corner feature to the site

Could we please have a Wee Corner.

If MN'ers discover amazing/interesting articles that may captivate the community, they could post in the "Wee Corner"

Purely, as an example, I offer this about Joshua Bell, a world renowned musician.

and

The story behind the performance

The "wee corner" does not have to just relate to music ofc but could cover a gamut of interests which may engage a vast majority of MN

"The random corner"?

JaneJeffer · 18/03/2026 17:35

those interesting articles/subjects that any of us may have stumbled upon
How about Collins’ Corner?

Catcatcatcatcat · 18/03/2026 17:36

Wee corner? For piss talk?

Arregaithel · 18/03/2026 17:36

@WhatHoJeeves I see my mistake, I am Scottish, 'tis troo.

Perhaps the "suggested" title may very well be beyond the ken for some.

I do think it'd be quite interesting to have such a board, albeit not called something that could take the proverbial p... 😊

People will assume the wee corner is a place for the piss troll.

I was fully expecting it to be where we go to piss into the wind, myself

Ok... 🧐 interesting that's where you both went first 🙄

Well that set my bladder off! 🤣

but we already have chat, why do you think another place be useful?

endofthelinefinally · 18/03/2026 17:43

Is that not what "chat" is for?

Are people really not getting that the OP just means a thread on MN to share interesting things you have come across that might also be of interest to others? Why are people fixating on the meanings of 'wee' and 'corner'?!

I don't know that 'Wee Corner' would be the best thread title (I've seen worse!) but the idea is a good one I think. I'd enjoy dipping in and finding interesting things I might not otherwise have stumbled across. Would be a nice change from some of the griping and sniping and could be quite uplifting.

i get the 'wee corner' meaning, even
uf my bladder reacts 🤣🤣. What I don't get is why we need yet another 'place' when we already have 'chat' & many many topics? Things that are of 'interest' are far better in relevant topics or if very general. There's chat.

Thats what chat is for.
I'd love to see lots of interesting random stuff come up in active. I think its a lovely idea.

JustGiveMeReason · 18/03/2026 17:53

Another who is a bit puzzled as to what this board would offer, that 'Chat' doesn't.

just looking at current chat is not really the content I was trying to highlight @YerMotherWasAHamster

Nae bother though, if the majority think that chat covers what I was intimating 🙂

I understand what you mean OP, it’s not that difficult.

BUT after the things I’ve seen here in the past few days, I’m not sure I’d bother. It is like throwing pearls to swine possibly wouldn’t be appreciated here in the right way.

FYI there is a place on Reddit for short videos (20 mins ish) on random topics. I like that place.

Everyone loves a good toilet thread

Chat covers whatever anyone chooses it to though. If you have something interesting to add, go for it!

I’m in NI and I knew what you meant by a Wee Corner😃 I do think stuff like that is probably better off in Chat though as others have said. Mostly because a lot of the more niche boards just end up being tumbleweed and the people who use them start posting in Chat or AIBU to reach a wider audience anyway. I like knitting and crochet and sometimes dip into the Arts and Crafts board, but it’s quiet in there. If someone asks a craft related question in Chat, it gets far more responses than on the Arts and Crafts board.
