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
Seriously starting to wonder if rooftop tendie had the right idea....
Some days are better than others. Let’s stick around we can still be Frens 🐸
If you leave the already small number of us actually awake goes down
Don't leave
What's going on fren?
Bruh. Please don't leave. It's a madhouse already. If anything just make a new account and leave your old one here preserved, prune the posts or whatever you gotta do. We need the refutations in the record. We need the presence in the war. We don't need a carcass of a site that only regurgitates clickbait and frauds. WE NEED YOU.
This. I’m not here often, but sometimes I do click on user names to see their past posts and comments. So many useful resources here. And so much talent and wisdom from many of you that have been here years before me.
I go from leave to stay. I try to give myself breaks because I can’t just pop in read highlights. Gotta read comments sometimes interact depending on the mood of the comments. If general chat wasn’t a thing and interactions with several people daily I could leave easily. This past year I’ve talked to some really good caring people and that’s rewarding
