    Argggg!!!.. isnt anyone gonna even acknowledge that WE HAVE OUR OWN FORUM.. not a little obscure thread in a sea of other threads.

    It will be So Much easier to find HOME now, for the ones that are still lost and the ones that cant remember how to get here from there..

    I think it is positvely the most fantabulas thing since bubblegum.

    Yes. I've been gone for the weekend. Even though I never log out and it looks like I'm still here and online even if I turn off my compute. I almost never turn off my computer.

    My darling Nailcakes,

    Yeah, I see.

    So, did Skip do this???? Move us.

    I notice the Post Count on the New directory is at 1 post. LOL That's new too.

    No. I'm wrong. the 1 is under Threads. That would make sense. the post are 4,606. Too Cool.

    So whatcha all waitin' for? Start some new threads! ;)

    And sh, you could split some posts off into new threads if needed.

    Enjoy your new forum! You've proven you are still a living community today, even if you're not all together physically anymore. Way to go! :)

    I'm sure I'm not alone in envying your experiences back in SF during those special times.

    One thing I'd love to see is all of you weigh in about what's happening now...culturally, politically, economically...

    Your accumulated wisdom and experience are very valuable and should be shared with the younger generations. That's one of the reasons this site was created.

    It seems to me we are experiencing nearly the same things as in the 60s all over again, as if we haven't learned anything from the past...

    Anyways, it would make a good thread! :)

    First I would try to think the whole concept through.

    What would you TITLE this beast???
    Something that would make it clear to ALL Viewers. Once you make a title, you're stuck with it. Everybody knows you by that.



    "One thing I'd love to see is all of you weigh in about what's happening now...culturally, politically, economically..."
    Skip

    I'd like that too. My question is how do you shape it. The Title and the lead-in paragraph.

    Also, what would make this different than so many other spaces on the hipforums that delve into each and all of these subjects? What approach would set this apart? Make it unique? Keep it for being a repeat of other areas? This is what I'm trying to picture?

    It's about whatever we want it to be.

    If you have a subject that you want to divulge, a topic that you found/find interesting, start a new thread and post in it..

    Like political ideas from then and how or if you have changed or what has changed about the system since or daze..

    IDK.. Ranger had something interest to say to Skip about Abbie Hoffman as he noticed that Skip had a statement from him in his signature.

    Maybe he can make a thread about that..

    Chris can talk about Hawaii and the changes it has gone through since the 70s..

    There are all kinds of interesting subjects we have at our disposal

    Thread ideas:
    I suppose it could be series of threads you could start over time. It would be good if you start by describing what it was like living with the CGE during those times. I know you touch on it a lot in this thread, but a separate thread would provide more insights. What were the highlights? The low points? What was a day like at the CGE?

    How did you guys support yourselves? Anything that might help others hoping to join an urban commune.

    What did everyone take away from that experience? How did it change you?

    Then apply those experiences to explain how they altered your world view and what you think about what's going on today. Maybe discuss the similarities between what was going on in the 60s and what's happening now. How to make a difference...What to do, what not to do...etc.

    Got photos from the 60s? How about a photo thread if there's enough images out there.

    Just some ideas here that enable you to share with others what you've learned and experienced. Lotsa young, idealistic kids here...remember what that's like? Let's help them to not make the same mistakes.

    I just now kind of noticed that creating new threads seems to make it hard to find the original thread or confuses things and does make it impossible to find the last page of the original thread once you've switched over and viewed a secondary thread.

Passed out tons of business cards and took LOTS OF PHOTOS..!! with young and old alike...I was reminded of the fact that life is what u make it....!!!? Many blessings my GE friends. Love u..!!!!!!
