We don't want the forums abandoned from one event to the next so here is a place (away from 'General Chat as that is for SF specific chat) that you can just dump any old thing, what have you been doing today, here's a funny thing I saw or heard, great offer on widget at .....
You get the idea, forums are meant to be communities, not just a few people giving hints or info, that would be a blog

So have fun but remember the basic rules - play nice, no abuse, illegal, hurtful or otherwise nasty content - and definitely no random spamming!
if you personally have your own site then it's okay to leave a link (and a reason why your leaving it) or if you provide a service online (but be prepared to have it taken down if we think it is spam, and get a warning on your account) a link to your service is okay, but please try and have posted elsewhere first.
