Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way

Suggestion
A post put up by a mod and stickied each week on Friday or Saturday.
"Stickies for Sunday"
are particularly relevant to the past week's or the upcoming week's events/narratives
are classic posts that the board will benefit from re-reading, re-viewing (including newcomers and newbie anons)
This way, the board could do the work of making the suggestions, etc, and it would just need a mod to implement based on / that mod's judgment / OR / based on votes support in the comments / by stickying some of those posts on the Saturday or Sunday.
Thinking here how to make this a board community action without resting all the work on one or more mods.
OR
Just get some super-powerful, all-knowing mod with too much time to select relevant posts and sticky them, for "Sunday Stickies"!

We have many of those. I really do think this would be a great service for Sunday's. Hope it works out. 🙏
Well, the "too much time" was pretty much tongue in cheek.
Love our mods. Thank you mods.
