I think I am going to stop posting these since no one is using it.

This is a daily post for “casual” conversation. If you want to post or talk about something non autism related this is where to do it. For example if you want to info dump about your special interest but it doesn’t fall into “autism related” then you can post it here in the comments. All other rules are still active, be respectful to each other.#

Shame :( thank you for trying to make room for casual conversation though! I'm always happy to see these posts and glad that you've been so active!

I don't mind these but you might wanna do one every month or something, maybe then people have more to say ^^

I agree, the daily thing puts me off. It's like, well what's the point, tomorrow it'll be out of date.

Maybe a pinned megathread would work better. Sometimes people have questions or things they want to share that they don't think is worth an entire thread, so it would be nice to have a place for that.

These are an open invitation and I enjoy seeing them regardless of whether I have something to contribute.
