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 evolving
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
Advice, Guidance or just plain good ol' make fun here. Issue: unable to upload or post a picture or gif as part of my response to a conversation in a post.
Not sure what I'm doing incorrectly but often times i see a good argument where I have an excellent photo to reinforce or validate a position with and I cannot do so. I also understand that if everyone does it, it could clog up the original argument. Is this the normal process? I have in the past observed folks here able to do so. Is there a procedure or way to include a photo? If so, would someone kindly advice or guide me on how to? To be fair, I will never drop anything that would be outrageously offensive, maybe "slightly" but only if it fit the narrative argument. Thank you.
You can use animated gifs from an approved list. This is because we're at war and we don't want shills posting CP and garbage.

This should get you going: https://greatawakening.win/p/142BF5stO8/
If you want to post anything else, kick it up to catbox.moe and link it. This would include photos, animations, video, documents or anything else.
Progress!! Thank you!!!!!!
If you want to provide a photo as a reponse to a post or comment, you have to upload it to a site like imgur or catbox etc, and put the link into the comment.
Unfortunately, thats the only way in this site.
Most apprecoated. I understand the defensive barriers against the shills. Thank-you for taking the time.
Check the sidebar of the site; there's some custom images available to use. Not sure if GAW enables user images in comments. You may have to upload the file somewhere like catbox.moe and provide a link.
Thank you.
