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.

Ty for the reply.
I noticed your account is less than 2 months old. Is this your first account here? How did you happen to come here? What brought you to GAW?
(I'm curious) :-
came to GAW in 2020. I've had a couple usernames but i'm sticking with this one. I don't remember how I actually ended up here. It was 2020 and a very mentally stressful time for me. I took the news of the cabal pretty hard.
2020...
I arrived in Dec 2020/ Jan 2021. VOAT was the platform where many people arrived after Reddit banned r/greatawakening in (aug ?) 2018. VOAT shut down for some reason Dec 25, 2020. Somehow made my way here on the trail of other frens.
2020 was a stressful time for most of the planet. Societies like mine were put through the mental/emotional wringer. As individuals, families and as a society, the pressure was on.
Glad you made it through and glad you made it here.
thanks so much :)
