Recommended Forum Posts for July '08 |
1. Week of 2008-07-06 - 2. Week of 2008-07-13 - 3. Week of 2008-07-20 - 4. Week of 2008-07-27 |
This is a list of 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.
To nominate a post, simply copy and paste this code:

Dr. Horrible's Sing-A-Long Blog <- Must See TV...errr...Web... A good discussion about another product with JoCo-like flavor, and how it compares to his JoConess. Plus, Dr. Horrible is just damn good. --MitchO 14:14, 21 July 2008 (EDT)

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)
- 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)
- Yes, I've just nominated three threads I started. And yes, that's specifically against the rules I myself set out at the top of the page. I'd even suggest the "Favorite JoCo moments?" thread, if I didn't think that was pushing it. But I really think this one needs to be in, because every JoCo fan can at least talk about songs they like, can't they? --Bry 00:13, 14 July 2008 (EDT)
- Here's another thing that every newbie can talk about, and I always love hearing what paths they took (not to mention it's interesting to see ways that we might be able to spread the Gospel a little). --Bry 00:13, 14 July 2008 (EDT)
