    Coming up on November 3rd...we are especially inviting our new forum members, and any forum members who haven't previously attended a Zoom meeting, to a "Meet and Greet" where there will be time to meet fellow forum members and to ask questions about the forum and Epicurean philosophy.

    Cassius will be on hand to facilitate the meeting. Established members are also invited to come and meet new members!

    We hold this meeting on an "as needed basis," so we ask that all members please RSVP. The meeting will only be held if at least one new member indicates they are available.

    Level 02 and 03: please RSVP here in this thread.

    Level 01 members: please post in your Welcome thread that you would like to attend or message Cassius using the "conversations" feature.

    Hope to see you there! :)

    Thanks Kalosyni, and just FYI and FWIW we usually plan our meetings to last no more than an hour. If you can only make part of the meeting that's fine too, and that goes for both any new people and our regulars.

    MarkJW to you or anyone else who is not in an American time zone, we'll work to set up another more suitable time to accomplish the same thing. If anyone else has a time zone issue please let us know.

Finding Things At EpicureanFriends.com

What's the best strategy for finding things on EpicureanFriends.com? Here's a suggested search strategy:

  • First, familiarize yourself with the list of forums. The best way to find threads related to a particular topic is to look in the relevant forum. Over the years most people have tried to start threads according to forum topic, and we regularly move threads from our "general discussion" area over to forums with more descriptive titles.
  • Use the "Search" facility at the top right of every page. Note that the search box asks you what section of the forum you'd like to search. If you don't know, select "Everywhere." Also check the "Search Assistance" page.
  • Use the "Tag" facility, starting with the "Key Tags By Topic" in the right hand navigation pane, or using the "Search By Tag" page, or the "Tag Overview" page which contains a list of all tags alphabetically. We curate the available tags to keep them to a manageable number that is descriptive of frequently-searched topics.
