Hello fellow Epicureans and those interested in the teachings of Epicurus. Thank you to Cassius for setting up this board. I've been following New Epicurean and related blogs and sites for some time and am happy to see this forum set up outside of Facebook (as I deleted my Facebook account some 5 years ago.) I've self identified as an Epicurean for just under 10 years after a couple of years of vainly attempting to fit into the Stoic mold. I still enjoy studying all of the Hellenistic philosophies and my own version of Epicureanism may be a little more eclectic than some. Besides that, I moved to small-town Missouri a year and a half ago after living in Berkeley, CA for 20 years. I sought a slower more genuine, more intentional, life with less concrete in it; this area, that I once referred to as flyover country, provides that. I am looking forward to see how this board evolves, I know that it is off to a good start having studious and eloquent folks involved.

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.
