Jacksonville Times Union

The Jacksonville Times Union has implemented several online forums for community interaction. There are message board story forums, community forums, even video game and music forums!

The Jacksonville Times Union website can be found at jacksonville.com

The Just In and Metro sections of the upcoming news stories have also been linked to a blog - allowing quick and easy communication and discussion on new topics as soon as they pop up.

This online community has been around for a while, and some of the members will let you know it if you push too hard. Its a great place with some thoughtful people and insightful ideas, but the conversation goes quickly and it doesn't stick around forever.

I would love to see some additional forum archives or a new system imported from the old one that allows long term discussions to go on. I would love to hear what some of these characters were saying back in the 2000 elections.
