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
Holy crap, I am just dumbfounded that the general chat thread has been up for an hour and there aren't butthundred posts already. Or maybe it is because everyone in America is still watching fireworks and such?
I had the idea of writing a poem in honor of everyone's favorite troll, NewbishBewbish. The doofus who is too chickenshit to post anything on GAW, but has nothing better to do with his life but to park his ass on here and continues to PM members here, demonstrating his inability to catch references and threatens people with "Imma dox yew, urrrf!" messages. I thought I would style it in the manner of John Keats's "Ode to a Grecian Urn." I've only done a few lines so far.
Ode to an Online Turd
--
Thou supercilious prick of faggotry,
Thou art the unwanted stepchild of slow wit
Quarrelsome messages which betray your pageantry
Of online trolling, mindlessly talking shit
What stupidity haunts about thy mind
Of lackluster insults not properly conceived?
What questionable parentage produced your kind?
Thou art contemptuous, loathsome, aberrant and deceived!
...Well anyhow, that's all I've got so far. Hope you enjoyed it.

This feels obvious, but gotta say - the more you feed the trolls, the more they come following you. Why do you guys keep posting about this troll all the time? You want him gone? Ignore him completely.
Wow. Unexpected levels of eloquence, Steve. Although I suspect that giving such attention to our favorite troll may only make his condition worse, your elocutionary prowess here is indeed something to behold.
But I also wish to echo the other sentiment you expressed. Gen Chat has been up for 2 hours, and I am also disappointed and dismayed that we don't have several thousand threads yet. Well, I guess we just have to accept things the way they are....

Have a great Gen Chat day, everyone! :D
Does he frequent other places or just general chat? I don’t like calling him names but I did experience his anger inducing PM’s yesterday. Needless to say, he is blocked and I reported him to a mod
In my case, he's trolled me only for comments I've made in General Chat. My Catcher in the Rye reference went WAY over his head and right away I realized what a moron he is. I'm wondering if he's the same user as the account PierrePierre. Same attitude, threatening to dox people.
That’s fabulous! Please keep on going. I can’t wait until tomorrow, when people are on this thread, and giving you the big thumbs up. 👍
