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
If you haven’t watched The Dark Side Of Kids TV here’s the link (at bottom). My daughter watched many of these shows and I was usually watching with her. On one hand I can’t believe I missed the bad stuff in these shows. On the other hand maybe I missed because my mind wasn’t in the gutter thinking of sexual acts. Of course now I see it because my eyes are opened. Some of the parents being interviewed talked about they felt like things were not right. I don’t get this mindset. If I had any concerns about my child’s safety it would over. Doesn’t matter about the money of if my kid was upset with me. As a parent your number one job is to protect your child. Sadly the parents want the money and fame more than the kids.
The Dark Side of Kids TV is a 2024 documentary series which details the toxic behind the scenes world of children’s television from the late 1990s to the early 2010s, especially Dan Schneider's tenure as a producer on Nickelodeon.

You can watch free on this site.
I’ve used this site for months with out any spam. It’s free, you can have a paid account but free works great and I have very slow internet, never a problem loading. Go through the you aren’t a robot. Then a screen will pop. X out of that & you are ready to watch. If you can’t finish in one setting it holds your place.
