Answering your thread question, yes, I remember the General Chat. However, as addressed by Feareh earlier, the discussion of General Chat was put to rest a while ago. Due to the sensitivity of the topic, it is preferred that we do not bring it up for open conversation. I will agree they were both positive and negative consequences to having the chat when it was active, but there has already been time for input on the topic, and it's locked now. Mostly due to the growing aggression towards fellow members, namely the staff.
