Hi from Rava

Hello everyone. I will be discussing mostly Rugby Union on here and staying in contact with the many friends made on the BBC 606 Site.

I am an Ulster Rugby supporter and I am nervously looking forward to the game on Sunday against Northampton Saints.

Cheers,
Rava

Hi Rava,

Welcome to the board.

I hope you enjoy it.

hi rava, welcome to the board.

Our rugby community seems to be picking up at last

Welcome to Rava.Always nice to have a few token Ulsttermen around;)

I'm just here to keep an eye on you Cork men, Thomond

Yeah Rava, me too. Give them Cork, Leeds Utd & Munster fans an inch...

Actually, give em nuthin at all. :-)

Hoi TT. <beamish>
Good you see you on here man.

Hoi, Gibbo mate.

I think there will be plenty of banter on this site, especially if we get the aul pub up and running.

Welcome aboard, Rava.

Hope you enjoy yourself here.

Thanks, Human Windmill.
If you can be patient then I predict there will be a mass influx of Rugby Union followers in here after BBC 606 closes down.
A few of us post in what is known as The Virtual Pub, so I reckon they will want to keep that going. I notice a few are already posting in here.

You're welcome, mate.

Good news about the newcomers to the rugby section, too.

Hi Rava.

Pub threads can be set up if required. We already have a few dotted around the different sections.

Enjoy it!

Thanks, Admins.

Welcome aboard Rava
Good to see to here. Dont forget to invite your mates on pub thread across.

Rava - glad you've made the jump over!

YI - quite a few of us from the pub thread are already here, reckon most of the rest will make the jump over when 606 closes too

Actually Gibbo it's just T now.Maybe I'll go by Mister.Some people say the Irish education system was better years ago but with illiterate Cloggies on here you never know.......

This isn't one of your mates by any chance, is it Gibbo? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEz5GfZUnBU

Dreamer aren't you much too young to be moderating?

Welcome to the board

Rava - ha, yes most probably!

Dreamer, are you locked out of BBC 606? I am getting a maintenance alert.

Rava - yep. good old Beeb with their maintenance, I can't get it it at all

I am locked out of BBC as well. looks like we will make the jump to here quicker. are you a mod here Dreamer?

Indeed I am Mickyt, of the rugby board too, so you'd all better behave yourselves

ha. well played.. good on ya girl.

does this forum lend itself to a pub enviroment?

aye, both myself and Ospreylian are the rugby mods.

And yep I'd say this place lends itself to a pub environment. There are other pubs dotted about the place on some of the other sport sections so all's good on that front

Absolutely - if you want a pub thread of some sort, we can either make it a sticky or a subsection.

The one thing I will say though, is that the rugby board is subsection heavy already - thats something that you rugby posters will have to discuss between you, in how you want it to look.

Thanks Guys,

to be honest, we discuss more than just rugby in the pubs so maybe it doesn't need to fit within that area.. can be discussed indeed.

maybe you guys can help me. when I signed up, I set up my email address for work for notifications etc. I want to change that but when I go into my profile and put the password in, it doesn't show me where I can change my email address.

is this possible?

The admin team can do it for you - if you drop me a pm with your email address that you want to change it to, I will change it (I might have to change your password though as well!)

Changed it for you - password is still the same.

Let me know if its now okay

Thanks Hobo, appreciate it. all sorted now.

Does that mean you'd recommend we place the pub somewhere under (for example) the Magners League or leave it on the main Rugby Union bit? I personally think it would be better just to have a continuous pub thread somewhere rather than create a whole new sub section for the pub on its own. I'm not sure if it needs to be a "sticky" either. Can people still find older ongoing threads if there's replies on it?

You can have it wherever you want.

If we add a new subsection, the main board will look really cumbersome.

I think we need to have a look at the rugby section altogether.

Maybe just have 2 sections - club and international and then subsections within those?

That would allow general chat to take place outwith the subsections and have the pub thread in the main section as a sticky.

Just a suggestion and by no means the definitive solution! Its up to you guys what you want!
