As you've done.
Making small talk, perhaps, but on topic, and that's how community starts. Just my opinion. [but you got a +1 from me]
As Bler144 said, giveaway thread is one of easiest place to hold conversation. My most active post is in GA steam edition, and I usually either asking for games, recommending a game, or just small talk. I find it hard to do conversation anywhere but when we are talking about same interest. My successful conversation I had is usually when talking about my favorite games that other people also find it good.
As you see I was hesitating when entering this GA, but I do know that when someone hold a GA, he/she hopes many participants will enter. So I enter in hope other people will follow and we can have a fun Giveaway thread.
BTW, Congrats for the Lady!
Let's hope more people enter the GA, but you know, maybe the "problem" is that almost everybody around here already owns these classics? GOGers who haven't played the classic RPG's, all of them at the top of the bestselling games list, where BG and IWD belonged before being removed... It almost sounds kind of mandatory to me, and I feel like a rare bird :-D
On the other hand, there are so many games I wish I could erase from memory, and then experience again for the first time and be surprised by them, as when I was a teenager... In this regard I feel lucky that for some years I was disconnected from the PC gaming scene, and now I can play the games everybody in retrospect agrees to be the very best. Probably some classic players would switch places with us "new" players, and start again these games without knowing what to expect exactly, but knowing it's going to be something great.
I for sure would switch places with somebody who has never played any Lucasarts classics.
