Global Chat and Comments

We're happy to announce the release of a global chat room on GWAP.com. We hope you enjoy it as much as we are!

For now, we won't let players chat while they're playing a game, but you can chat before and after each game. On the right of the chat window you'll see a list of the people who are currently viewing the conversation.

If for some reason you'd rather only play the games and not chat, you can always minimize the window to log out of chat. GWAP.com will remember this, and next time you come to the site the window will be automatically minimized.

Also, we now allow you to leave comments on our news stories. We want to hear from you!

The chat is super fun.

Fun except for some of the anonymous "guests" who decide to be vulgar. Shame on you! Sign up for an account and be respectful. Other than than, "super fun."

Chat box still pops up every time a Verbosity game ends despite minimising it each time. Why ask for comments if you don't respond to them or print them? Guess you only want to hear about "super fun".

I was signed on as a guest and had over a million points in Verbosity. Now my Guest number no longer comes up and I have no points and a new number.

Guest accounts are meant for temporary use.

If you email support@gwap.com with your previous guest number, we can try to fix this.

Congrats on sorting the chat box out. It's great being able to play without it popping up all the time.

Iwould like to know more about the uses of the results of the different games. Great idea.

what do/can we do with the points earned in the games?

Is it possible to make the blocking of a rude person permanent for a whole session? As it is, after a game when the chat box pops up one has to reblock them each time. It's annoying and time-wasting. In other chat rooms it's possible to block people permanently. Thanks.

Thanks for posting my question re rude people in chat (above). Is it possible that you can answer the question? Thanks.

I have a suggestion... I want to see the record top scores for 1 playing of each game. Do you store that info?

There are too many bots in Tag a Tune. No fun playing with them.

Can you play with a friend?

I agree with Jeff's comment above. I think it would be very beneficial to see the best score for a single game played. If only to satisfy individuals' competitive natures.
