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
Is this like car models? Where the model called Wednesday is actually introduced on Tuesday?
Heck, we're all advanced visionaries. We'll roll with it. But it's kind of slow even for a Wednesday. 🐪
It's very disappointing to me that bubbles can't start the new general chat at midnight UTC. At least we would all be on the same page and disappointment could be reduced. Time to set an alarm bubbles! kek
It's Wednesday here in Japan, nearly lunchtime. It's getting close to midnight in Brazil right now. These general chats are set up for the new day.
Konnichiwa! May the sun never set on the GAW!
(But the chats seem to be waking up earlier and earlier ...)
I would have beat you at being disappointed but I had to get cute to look up a quote. Enjoy the victory of first place 🥇
