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
Rules For the rest of the Site also accessible on the sidebar.

I am trying to find the post on how to find information here on GAW. Specifically the search option. Ironic I know lol but I thought there was also a series a while back on guidelines for a good post
It sucks because if a post is titled "wow, look at this" then you cannot find what you are looking for. The search function only looks at titles and not the content of the posts.
Yeah, I made a thread about that a couple of years ago, asking people to put words germane to the post in the title for ease of searching. You see how well that went.
Yes, but if you follow bubble's instructions, it will do regular searches of titles, content and comments, using all the terms you care to pile on.
Mods: Penalty required for stupid titles.
