I have been viewing The H.A.M.B. for going on 2 years or so and I have noticed lately that a new person will come on and attemp a dialog or inquire in the H.A.M.B. and classified sales and before you know it guys jump all over some one and in some cases are just plain assholes about it. There are a couple things that I would like fellow H.A.M.B. er's to think about and some suggestions. Thought # 1 There ain't no rules posted about a introduction,and if you don't you'll get your nuts chewed off. Thought # 2 Some guys are new on computers and don't know the procedure. ( I know I didn't when I came on and I got lucky enough that the guys that night were cool to me and didn't bite my nuts off) Thought # 3 Intro police ? Why don't you guys suggest more instead of criminalizing the poor bastard when he comes on. I read some of you guys responses and some off you guys are assholes. Is it me that some of the original H.A.M.B.er's don't come round anymore like they use to ? Suggestion to Ryan - if possible On the main page that lists the H.A.M.B. and classifieds and tech etc. would it be possible to put a heading that said " First time on the H.A.M.B. click here" when they do, have brief information on who they are, what cars, projects or wants thay have and a little info on where they are from. etc. Frankly I think it will keep guys pumped on our hobby of cars and watch the H.A.M.B. continue growing. Thanks for reading. Cob

Hey no one's made any derogatory comments about the marital status of anyone's mom in a long time! Not since the early days of the HAMB.... Usta be people got roasted even if they DID do a cool intro... It's like the tribal initiation. If ya can't take the heat, stay out of the fuckin' garage!!!
Figured I'ld hear from an OLD SKOOL MOTHA' like you DR. J. Oh yea that makes sense now.... besides hazing the guy then go after his momma too.... Then again with the age of some of these punks on here, I figure their momma's were just right about the right age in the " I know what I like department and let me show ya what I mean " Cob Dr. J. maybe we should have post a picture of your car and your mother too !
On a post some months ago, i suggested something along that line and got clobered. guess it's more fun to cut their nut's off than have rules. if you can't beat'em then join'em. besides i do have some fun with the newbee's, every once and awhile my self. gotta keep the jabs in there.
1. it's fun to be an asshole. thats what the internet is for, isn't it? 2. ain't my problem! i'm IN. 3. it's more fun to see someone wake Germ by accident, than on purpose.
