Who are we
- We are a bunch of folks from all over the world that like to get together and chat on IRC. Just like your local pub, our channel is
a gathering place for a cross section of folks. Some of us are students, some are retired,
some are young folks raising their families. Every imaginable occupation is represented,
from Attorneys to Zoologists, and we even have a token Librarian or two. :) Back to FAQ List
-
- What do we do
- We do what most folks do on IRC...Chat! We tell jokes, share things going on in our
lives, and get to know each other. Occasionally some of us fly all over the planet to get
together and party! And on rare occasions, romances bloom and yes, some have even gotten
married! Back to FAQ List

- Channel rules
- Yeah, rules. Why do we have them Because this is a family place. We want folks to feel
welcome and want to come back. When you first enter the channel, our channel bot will tell
you the rules. In order for #pub to be a pleasant and fun place for everyone there are
certain things we don't allow in here:
-
- 1. Swearing, or using any language that can be construed as vulgar, insulting or obscene
is not allowed.
- 2. Rudeness/Arguing is not allowed (We will ask you to take it private and if you don't
you will be kicked).
- 3. Advertising of or Invites to another channel are not allowed.

- 7. If you are in a "perv" channel while in #pub, you will be kicked.
- 8. Flooding in the channel is not allowed (sending the same line to channel
repetitively)
- 9. Don't ask for Ops!! (The selection of who has Ops is solely the perogative of the the

- Channel Etiquette
- What? I can't eat spagetti with a spoon? or slurp my soup? Consider the channel to be
just like someone's home. Show respect for others that are there, and for the channel.
Hang around a while, participate in the discussion. Get a feel for the place, and the
people that are in channel. Each of us brings a different perspective to the channel. If
you aren't into what is being discussed at the moment, hang around a bit...it will likely
launch off on a totally different direction! Ladyej is our Madam
of Manners...so direct any questions about this stuff to her.Back to FAQ List
