This is a list of [[Forums/Recommended Posts|recommended posts]] for the week from Sunday, July 20, 2008, to Saturday, July 26, 2008.  The point of this list is to give newcomers a quick way to grasp what's going on in the forums, as well as to create a mechanism for feedback on forum contributions.
 +
 
 +
Ground rules:
 +
* Every week, we'll do some kind of summary post in the forums, to round up the results from these recommendations.
 +
* A nomination and two supporting votes will guarantee a post or thread makes it into the summary. (Those numbers may change.)
 +
* Obviously, no nominating or supporting your own posts.
 +
* Be sure to include:
 +
** A link to the relevant post or thread.
 +
** The name of the forum member who made the post.
 +
** A quote or descriptor to make it clear what the substance of the post or thread was.
 +
** Your own name, and whether you're nominating or supporting.
 +

These are threads that are good places for new forum members to dip their toes in. This is meant to be a recurring feature -- that is, this list will appear every week, is the intention at least. As such, I'm not going to so much allow votes as accept suggestions. --Bry 00:13, 14 July 2008 (EDT)

Forum Code of Conduct / FAQ thread

  • I want, nay need, people to be familiar with the forum code of conduct, even if the FAQs are a mess at the moment. --Bry 00:13, 14 July 2008 (EDT)

Introduce Yourself

  • I definitely think this is a great thread to start off, and I really enjoy hearing what people have to say about themselves -- the danger is that people may expect that they have to read every previous post in the (quite lengthy) thread. --Bry 00:13, 14 July 2008 (EDT)
