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 hope a mod sees this.
I tried to show some friend this site on their iPhone, but it is blocked by cloudfare with Host Error.
I got it to work. I had to type https:// explicitly before the site address.
I don’t have to do this on my phone. Maybe because I had been here before. Just the way SSL works. I don’t think it’s set up right to redirect non-https to https.
Hmm .. I just tried accessing it via HTTP explicitly http://greatawakening.win from an both an Android phone and a iPhone, and it correctly redirected to HTTPS.
Not sure whats going on, perhaps it was just a transient error?
Interesting, I can't even go to GAW if I simply type in "greatawakening.win" or even "http://greatawakening.win".
Here's what it shows on my Android using DDG browser when I typed in "greatawakening.win"
And if I change it to "https", it works:

Would you be able to try it on brave or chrome? If that works then we can report this as a browser incompatibility issue
Just tried on both Brave and Chrome. It worked on both but not on DDG browser.
I've always thought there was no redirection from http to https this whole time.
I think I'll switch over to Brave. It's time I ditch DDG anyways.
I think this has something to do with the parent company, Scored. I believe mods have said they can't do site wide customization, even with CSS I believe. I agree that it should be automatically redirected to HTTPS for everyone's sake. u/bubble_bursts should know more than I do on this issue.
But it's a good thing it is on HTTPS, which is secure than wide open HTTP.
As for you not having to do that on your phone, I don't know what phone you have but on my Android, I keep forgetting to enter the HTTPS prefix when typing in GAW address (I do "greatawakening.win" and it automatically put "http://" before the address then I get the Cloudflare error) then I manually entered "https://" and was able to access GAW.
You probably have an extension installed like HTTPS everywhere or something similar on your phone or turned the "Force HTTPS over HTTP" option on in your phone browser?
They have the latest iPhone using Safari with Google as their address bar / search combofield. No extensions. So just GW without any protocol gave the error.
I have an older iPhone Safari with an old OS. I have two ad blockers installed.
