Hmm, not sure who thought of this, but it is a really silly idea. Change it back please

It looks really messy tbh. At first I thought this was just a board name change, then I came across some moved threads and thought they'd be shoved to DT and then realised what had happened. Can't see why it needed to be changed.

Presumably it's so they can sell ad space more easily in future? A diverse community doesn't sell as well to potential advertisers as "here is a board exclusively for parents, so you can advertise nappies to them without wasting any money."

I can't remember where I read it, but someone said that online, if you're not paying for a product, you are the product.

Have logged in to say its a bit rubbish. I liked the family board, it was all about helping out in a little online community now MSE have just created segregated ghettos. Cant see any sensible reason to split unless it is to do with selling advertising.

change for change sake is unnecessary. Change for a reason can be understandable: MSE what reasons do you have for the change?

This is pointless.

And upsetting for some.

Why complicate something that was working perfectly fine in the first place? It's ridiculous.

And you realise that it's going to STOP people getting the help that they need as less people will frequent threads that are spread over such a riduclous array of subheadings. So people are going to get less responses.

If this is about advertising and revenue, at least have the integrity to admit it.

If it's just an ill though-out idea, then put it back to how it was.

Why is the health and beauty page a sub-page of the mums, dads etc...are child-free singles or couples not meant to be so likely to be interested in how they look?

It was much better before. Can you change it back?

This! :T

I love MSE, it's home for me.

I defended the backside of Martin when he sold up. I still want the site to grow and prosper.

But you all need to stop making silly decisions that affect the users.

You might see a potential benefit in tweaking but you're not the end user. Leave things alone. Please.
