So what is "The Pub"?

[mbalmr]

I have been on Scubaboard for a while now and I keep hearing about "The Pub". Just wondering what this is. Can someone please fill me in?

It's a double opt in area of the board where some of the more volatile topics like religion and politics are discussed.

To access it you need to go to group memberships and join the surface interval, then join the regulars of the pub user groups.

The user group link is here: http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/profile.php?do=editusergroups

Maybe there should be a standard disclaimer when someone asks?

The pub is just like any other local pub. The SB pub is filled with regular characters and they all have their own personal opinions on the topics of the day.

In the end, for the most part, we are friends. The banter does go back and forth and the debates are, sometimes, lively.

Pull up a stool and settle in. The conversation never ends.

The Pub is ScubaBoard's modern-day Warhammer maneuver ... only instead of taking a dump in the water, we dump on each other.

It's great fun ... as long as you don't take any of it seriously ...

(edited to add) ... mdb is exactly right ... while it may seem that we're fighting, we're actually just enjoying each other's company ... in rather spirited fashion ...

You and your avatar should fit in quite nicely.

Those links take me to a list of groups, of which the Pub isn't one.

The link CD gave is so that you can opt-in in the Surface Interval Forum.

In order to view the pub, first you have to opt in to the Surface Interval group.

Then you have to opt in to the Regulars of the Pub group.

After that you'll be able to see and access threads that are located in the pub.
