Bar threads...
Just wondering what the actual rules are, Jewel brought up the fact that I technically shouldn't be in them (age), but I can't seem to find any rules set out anywhere.

That's what I thought too...it was a little disconcerting being told to leave by one member who apparently thought I shouldn't be there.
It's not like I'm 15 or anything.

So far no hard and fast "rule" has been found. The only response at this time is that it has been "tradition". I asked how we were going to check ID's at the OT Bar Thread Door...

I spend some time in the NE section and the bars are closed after 1,000 posts, is that a rule that is just in place there?
The same thing with having more then one "bar thread" going on?
For example:
Yesterday there were two bars opened at about the same time and the Mods combined the two of them together.

All bars close around 1000 posts. It's on the honor system if a moderator isn't around to close it.
Sometimes the new bar is opened from discussions inside the current thread as it winds down. Sometimes it just first come first served.
It there are two open at the same time, they are either merged or the second one locked, depending on the moderator.

There is no minimum age. This is a "fake," bar, and no alcohol is being consumed, therefore, there's no age that's applicable.
