Recommended Posts (July 27 - August 2, 2008)
This thread lists some particularly good posts in the forums from the week of Sunday, July 27, 2008, to Saturday, August 2, 2008. We hope you'll read the others, too, but if you're in a rush, here's how to catch up!
Start Here
If you're new to the forums, welcome! We'd love for you to participate in any discussion you like. Here are some good places for you to dive right in:
Introduce Yourself
It's always fun to hear from new JoCo fans (or old ones who've just gotten around to joining the forums). If you're curious, feel free to read through the old posts in the thread and see what other people have said about themselves, but we're happy for you just to, well, introduce yourself!
Favorite Songs List
Tell us your five favorite JoCo songs and why you like them!
How did you discover JoCo?
The thread title says it all, doesn't it?
The Forum Code of Conduct / FAQ
You'll probably want to read our policy, written by, of, and for the members of the JoCo forums. We're really loose around here, but it'll give you a good idea of how people behave in these parts. (You don't have to read the whole FAQ, but if you have questions, look there first.)
New this week
Ongoing Threads:
The Word Association thread
As Jinx says, "Originally, this thread was simple. Very straightforward and simple. Someone would post a word, you'd post whatever word that word made you think of. Now, though, people like RobGonzo and Gle3nn and Angelastic are turning it into a linkfest of unexpected weird things. Which is making it pretty fun to read, as well as to jump into."
Insightful Posts:
Tindomiel's post on technology in the Luddite Geeks thread
To quote Jinx again, "I've liked nearly all the posts people have made in this thread, but I was particularly struck with Tindomiel's. It made the point that there's more to life than technology, and plenty of reason to remember that there is."
To nominate threads to appear in next week's edition, go here.
Big, big thanks to Colleenky for putting this week's post together.

ETA: I thought jinx swore never to go into the "Word Association" thread... Only a matter of time before Bry joins in.
This is how I feel about the forums sometime.
