Before a new user can register, they now have to read this: [ QUOTE ] The HAMB is dedicated to spreading the gospel of traditional hot rods and kustoms to hoodlums world wide. Thats right TRADITIONAL. And we arent talking Beach Boys and poodle skirts here fellas. If you are into a-side 50s pop, lawn chairs, ruler contests, and all things that make hot rodding warm and cozy then you might want to find another message board. If you arent sure what we mean by traditional, then you might think twice as well. If youve come here to set a rep, talk some shit, and make some fun then you had better stop the registration process right now. Even if you have come here for all the right reasons, dont expect posting to be easy. We dont cater to new fellas unless they show a dedication to spreading this tradition of ours first. We welcome young, old, foreign and all but our original members and our staff expect a certain level of respect and an effort to keep things true and on topic. Maybe you are an old fart with a past. Maybe you are one of the guys that started this tradition we cherrish. We built this place for you and your posts mean the world to us. Hop on and introduce yourself. This is your board. Still reading? Then you must be cut out for this, right? We recommend you read some more. Check out all the forums, develop an understanding for how things work around here, learn the dos and do nots The key to a happy HAMB newbie is to understand the joint BEFORE you begin posting. You want to be happy dont ya newbie? We have very few written rules here on the HAMB and thats the way we like it, but we wont hesitate to dump disruptive posters, ego freaks, or shit talkers. We are all here to learn and teach - please keep your other perogatives on the sidelines. Rules: 1. No profanity in subject lines 2. No political/religious/racial posts 3. No Porn. 3.

Excellent, it posts what is acceptable and that which is not up front. I hope this ends the chance of revisiting the types of outright flame wars I've seen. Back in the day we could tell each other to fuck off, but with so many FNGs who don't get it, this kind of warning is long overdue. Good work, I don't like to write praise posts, so consider this to be something worthy.

[ QUOTE ] Hop on and introduce yourself [/ QUOTE ] I'm gonna go out on a limb and count that as a request for intro's [ QUOTE ] Your life here would probably be easier if you complete your profile and introduce yourself before jumping into the deep end... [/ QUOTE ] Yup, that's a suggestion to do an intro. That makes 2.
Ooh, it made me all tingly n such! Can't say you didn't warn em. I often think some of the folks with dumb posts are probably nice people that just don't get it. Now they'll get it or at least go away if they dont.
