I joined a group there a while back (Hercules mainframe emulation of old MVS and VM/370) and have figured out most of the settings to turn off the incessant flashing, beeping, and utter distractions to peripheral vision and perceptions; so, ok (typed in a remorseful sad face defeated mode). ;-) Have good.

Social chat in the forums
Question, or suggestion. In the Community forums, there is General and Announce. Where is the preferred place to *shoot the breeze*? D adjacent, but off-topic and mostly social (with the *desirable* assumption that the audience is all D programmers and openly nerd minded). Within the forums that is, for the threads and being searchable in the near and far future. Have good, make well.
