what is happening to CB?

[dotty.]

Have all the other topics been shut down or sumfink?

[woofgang]

Que?

[DTCwordfan]

I am not surprised.

[craft1948]

Why do you ask?

[erin-x]

Sumfink? I always thought that you were American, Dotty? Now you're just confusing me! :)

[dotty.]

because there are some heavyweight threads being put up in cb that might be better considered in another topic/sub topic

[dotty.]

no that was estie, who btw has just got married

[sunny-dave]

I think that (at least at the moment) people seem to think that the best way to get visibility and replies is to dump stuff in CB.

This means that CB is filling up with threads which really belong in News, TV or whatever.

[dotty.]

see, dave knows wot i meant

[sunny-dave]

And then people are taking offence when flippant CB type replies get added to their 'serious' topics .

You know it's weird dotty, but I don't see that.
In my short active time here I have seen CBers talk about the most distressing periods of their lives and all that goes with it.
If the question comes from a new source, it doesn't make it any more unsuitable does it?
I am probably wrong of course, but if Qs are not suitable for CB then that must be applicable to all, and that doesn't happen.
I'm not criticising, just noticing. :)

You are absolutely correct dotty and this has been going on increasingly for the past 6-9 months. We have had threads that should have clearly been in Relationships and Dating and others in Health.

Reason being.........if you want maximum exposure, impact and above all sympathy..........then CB is the place.

This needs addressing.

people get criticised for putting questions in the wrong category , so often don't know where they should go. CB gets lots of input because of how many will look at it, so you generally get a better or bigger response to your question. It's up to Ed to ask for those in the know to put certain questions in a related category.
