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
How do the “powers at be” determine your icon or emoji thing. Somebody, please tell me what they are called. Some are obvious but I’m just curious. I have noticed two people have the same one. I believe that was done on purpose to confuse people like me😝 Only took me several months to figure out I was talking to two different people. You know who you are, little white dog (or something) wearing maga read hat. I don’t remember this username, they have my pillow guy in blue shirt hugging a pillow. Well, if you got bad eyes you see a woman with big boobs with her hands in the air. Yeah, that took a while also. Finally enlarged my screen. At least things are interesting here.
Believe it or not, there is an international committee that meets every year or so and propose new emojis/modifications etc.
That’s interesting to know. I wasn’t asking or inquiring because I’m looking to get one. If it’s meant to be it will happen. I understand it’s a points system and just happy to be here. I’ve just been curious how the heck the different ones are chosen. It’s got to be detailed research to match up to the personalities or something else.
you have to be a 17th level anon to even know about that. why would you expose us?

Don't reveal all the secrets. It's fun to have a little mystery as people begin to see the truth :)
