for the record -- as an alum who's been active on the forum since it was an email listserv thing back in 2001 or so -- i see what can easily be considered hostile response to new people who don't apply to the stop/go/turn motorsports school of thought. remember when Travis first started posting? freaking A that was like being at ground zero of a drama bomb. there are plenty of other examples, but it's 1 am and i'm just not going to search.
i don't care who thinks its normal and that new people should know it's normal. its not a welcoming attitude, and most forums -- which people are accustomed to -- aren't like ours.
i started out as a ricer and had i looked to the forums as a n00b nowadays i'd be turned off too. instead i was taken under a wing and shown the motorsport world and the rest is history.
