A non-bra/boob related question
Is it appropriate here to discuss issues that are not directly related to bras/boobs/clothes etc? I'm pretty new here and I really don't want to commit a bratabase faux pas, but I feel like I'm part of the community here and am starting to make friends, and sometimes I want to talk about things with my new friends that aren't covered by the handful of subject categories that are available.
I can certainly understand if the site owner wants to strictly keep the focus on bras and I have no problem with that. I've owned discussion forums before, so I understand the issues involved.
Anyway, sorry for the interruption. You may now return to your regularly scheduled bra discussion. *giggle*

I think most things can be related back to bras, but I also don't think it would be bad to talk about other things! I just made a post about a specific food allergy, because it gives me crazy bloating... I've seen people on here talk about clothes and even about the struggle with their identity (thinking specifically of a man on here who talked about how hard it can be to want to wear bras while identifying as male). As long as it goes along with the topic of conversation, then I think it's okay :)
I think it would be weird to talk about a concert in your city or complain about a friend unless you could tie it back into this community, because that stuff is more in line with a personal blog or a subreddit. That being said, asking for advice on other lady-stuff makes sense because this is a primarily lady filled website!
This is all just me though, so I'm not sure how everyone else feels about it.
animated and Kristine I must confess. I cannot tell a lie. I was that guy :), and as you noted, I have certainly brought up one or two non-directly related bra/boob issues, and I have worried about doing that. I hoped I was not taking Bratabase's focus off what it is intended for. But Jj is the boss, and she seems to think a little bit of alternate-subject stuff is OK :D. For that, I am deeply appreciative.
