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
I have some very very unfortunate news frens.
Undine53, a respected and valued veteran of this community, passed away suddenly last week. I have been in touch with her daughter who posted this yesterday (she was intending to post here, but didn't have the details at the time about the correct forum).

An anon I've stayed in touch with reached out with this very unfortunate news...thank you...I was not going to participate with this account but I have to, like it's an obligation. She was a good one.
Undine, I'm still not sure what that even means exactly, but wherever you are, I'm sure it's nice and I expect you are at peace.
--PS
Undine is a water nymph. Mum loved Arthur Rackham's illustrations. Thanks for the kind words.
Thank you! I had never known & didn't ask. Now I have an illustrator to look up.
You're in for a treat!
