CONFESSION: I strip the "S/O" off of all spinoff thread titles

    @Pink Champagne: That's definitely what the filters are for!

    Filtering by TTC, Pregnancy, or Parenting should cut down on any clutter... most random threads are in Not Baby Related.

    And btw (to no one in particular) it is still a spin off/possibly non-baby related topic even without the s/o in front! There are some days when there are a silly amount of spin off threads but we can't talk about baby stuff all day every day right? I like that we get to know more about people with the non-baby threads. But I do understand if you're trying to get an important question answered and it keeps getting pushed down. If that happens, please don't be shy to bump up your own thread!

    @MrsBrewer: I'm not TTC, pregnant, or a parent yet either. But in the case that that changes in the coming years, I'd like to get to know the community now.

    @PearlBee: Yep! Exactly that's where I am at too. Plus I was on WeddingBee before, and truthfully I don't care about wedding or anything, so I wanted to join this community!

    lol I really do not care if the S/O is there or not. I thought it was polite to put it there, so the person who created the original post would know that I wasnt hijacking their thread but just creating a spin off.

    @MrsBrewer: Yep. I'm double-dipping in both right now. Still getting acclimated over here!

    I'm confused by the complaints, too.

    I personally don't start with spin-off or s/o because I think a lot of threads on this board are spinoffs anyway. I don't have a problem with others doing it. It was just my preference not to.

    I find all the parenting stuff super useful (obviously) but I like the non-parenting stuff a lot too. Sometimes I need a break and I want to talk about my favorite WB show or what I'm having for dinner!
