It was basically a thread where users could post stories, links, good day greetings...anything they wanted really. It was wonderful!

Answer 2

It was somewhere where members could "chat" about anything really. Chatting is not really allowed on this forum - but at the moment with all the dramas going on .................

Answer 3

International cafe was great it made learning more fun and was frequented by members of all age groups. If you just wanted the serious stuff there were plenty of threads here that you could go to. For me popping in for a chat ,was the reason that SD was so special.And actually I learned a lot from the International cafe because it often it got me thinking about the cultural differences These aspects are also important when learning a language because it can spark interest which makes learning easier and fun. .....The changes that have been made have, in my view ,ruined this site, it is a shadow of its former self.I keep coming back because I miss the old SD and in the vague hope that it might be improving -but alas it is a shambles! The new rules say no chatting, .......seems a backward step to me!

I wholeheartedly agree, and now the whole General Discussions has gone, so no chance for people to get to know each other, to exchange experiences and support each other in their learning - MaryMcc, Feb 16, 2012

It's gone. Unfortunately, I don't think it will be allowed to come back.
