There are squillions of swine flu threads and I think it would be helpful to have them all in one place.

Whaddya think?

I'll second this. Either that or a generic 'Hide ALL the bloody swine flu threads' button. It's really so dull when every second thread in active convos is about this.

LuluMaman · 16/07/2009 21:07

i think one topic would be good.

keep it all together

and easier to look for information too

Mintyy · 16/07/2009 21:08

Yes please.

BCNS · 16/07/2009 21:08

would be good

much easier to look for info.

LackaDAISYcal · 16/07/2009 21:09

good idea!

Wheelybug · 16/07/2009 21:09

Good idea - then we can hide them

OmicronPersei8 · 16/07/2009 21:09

I was thinking this earlier today - a good idea.

ProfessorPhantomPlopper · 16/07/2009 22:38

I agree.

giddykipper · 16/07/2009 22:40

I agree.

Am tempted to leave MN until the swine flu fervour lies down, it's just getting me stressed every time I log on to be confronted with loads of thread titles telling me how we're all going to die. Would love to be able to hide the whole topic.

AitchTwoOh · 16/07/2009 22:42

yes yes yes. please help me to avoid the wanker panic.

2shoes · 16/07/2009 22:49

Do we need to do it 'officially' or do they read Site Stuff and pick up on threads like this?

2shoes · 16/07/2009 23:05

JohnDory · 16/07/2009 23:05

whomovedmychocolate · 16/07/2009 23:06

I asked ten days ago for one and was told to sod off because it was control freakery!

whomovedmychocolate · 16/07/2009 23:07

But may I add Justine told ya this would happen

AitchTwoOh · 16/07/2009 23:08

harleyd · 16/07/2009 23:09

PLEASE give us a swine flu topic, active convos is doing my nut in

tho im worried i'll be left in chat all by myself, what with the way the world is going fucking swineflu panic mad

whomovedmychocolate · 16/07/2009 23:09

13 days ago apparently and MNHQ response is in this link.

But it's basically sod off no!

whomovedmychocolate · 16/07/2009 23:09

and you are all bloody ignoring my real need for non-swine flu related sympathy on chat [sob]

AitchTwoOh · 16/07/2009 23:10

oh yes, that's a definite telling off. hahaha.
