Seriously, some input here would be great.

Seems we're sort of OK with it as it's probably our best shot at a sticky thread.

Is that the case? And thoughts on Orion's suggestion?

For that matter, thoughts on how to then proceed, since this still needs to pass the mods?

Thanks,

Tim

This is great! I've just started exploring Gor, due mainly to posts Orion made in the 'Female Supremacy' thread. Prior to that I had many of the same misconceptions and pre-conceptions of Gor, that I am sure many people had or have. So far I've managed to find the first three books and I'm rather liking them. This FAQ will definitely come in handy for me, thanks.

I was able to download and read the first, and look forward to reading more.

I really hope you are talking a LEGAL e-book you purchased.  Anything else would be against the law, and could have serious consequences.

Tal all,

Discussions about recreating a sticky Gorean FAQ thread continually restart. Additionally, holidays typically see a spike in the curious wandering to the Gorean board, asking "What IS Gor?" and setting off a new round of discussions.

While none of these are going to fit the bill, they are at least enough of an overview that the newbie can recognize and avoid missteps, and posters who've been around a while may restart the discussion if they will from a point of knowledge, rather than rehashing.

So here are a few past discussions, all with different intents and purposes:

Trevalyan's "For those wishing to learn about Gor"
Stephann's "Starting FAQ Thread!"
Thadius' "Everything you ever wanted to know about Goreans, but were to afraid to ask."
Tim's "The Newcomer"

Moving beyond that "introductory" information is this thread:
Bull's "What is beyond the simple definition of 'What is this Gor stuff all about?'"
...and many other threads address discussions among the Free about deeper looks into Gor.

Why don't we have a Sticky FAQ thread? Here's a discussion:
Karenn's "Volunteering for an Undefined 'Job' on the Forum"
[The original "Editor Nominations Thread" appears to be gone--too bad, because it was a good, open, civil, frank discussion that showed us at our best, and it also clearly delineated the difficulties of creating a sticky FAQ thread.]

Perhaps other folks will post other significant threads I've overlooked.

And for newbies---in the upper right hand corner is a "search" link. Click it, and you'll see you can make it specific to the Gorean board, as well as narrow your search to Topics only and in a variety of other ways.

Live well, all.

Thank you for posting these links.  i especially related to the "Newcomer" thread...since that's what i am and i am hoping not to fall into the first category of newbies...lol. 

Also, the link for the online purchase of the books....i think that is an awesome link for everyone who visits the forum, although i'm weird in that i like vintage stuff, so i'm waiting on my books from ebay.  i'm a dork like that.  It will make me a newbie longer, which is why i'm going to stick a bit more in lurker mode (if i can.......) but then i'll have what i consider to be "cool" copies of the books.  Really didn't like the new editions' cover art.

And....why haven't they stickied this thing????
