I've moved questions and comments here, as I'm removing posts from the "Access to the pub" thread once people have been granted access; it makes it easier for me to manage the PM's and usergroup updates.
Yes, P&L is being removed from view completely, so you won't be able to search it or access any of the posts/threads.
It will be retained in the database so if there's something specific you wish to search for just ask.
If there are any current threads in P&L that the regulars would like moved into the pub, just let me know and I'll oblige before closing it.
I've made the change to broaden the scope of topics and widen the audience, as well as adding an agreement that you accept there may be things of an adult nature - this will hopefully avoid any faux-offended complaints from casual onlookers!
I've also modified the usergroup settings so that I can easily exclude people from The Pub if the need arises.
Political discussion can be a
part of The Pub, but the pub will be about more than just political debate.
Cheers,

), for example. Often based on vague memories of the "Canrider wrote something about such-and-such a subject" or "I think it was in the same thread in which Dellzeqq mentioned Rachmaninov". Such is the snippetty nature of memory (although the search function was superior in the previous version of the forum). A lot of my favourite posters generate most of their content within P&L, and I just think it's a shame that most of the oeuvre of Delftse Post or Smeggers is to be stuffed in a virtual vault. I know there are plenty of vociferous advocates for a Khmer-Rouge style approach to the textual history of the forum, but I am not among them. I like the accumulation of stuff.
