So this morning, on a lark I decided to go see if I could register there. And lo and behold, I could- got me a user name, activated it through email, filled out my profile... but the forums are locked. Only they aren't, because people are posting. So am I locked from posting because I am a n00b, or did I actually screw something up in activiation? I suppose I could try to just start over with a different membername/email addy, but that's kinda not cool knowing I'd be making a name I wouldn't use. Suggestions?

Bah, nevermind- I cleared cookies, waited a while, logged in, and presto- I can post. At least I managed to discover the fact that CC is taking new mebers- so GO REGISTER NOW if you autocross and haven't already done so.

BT,DT... but I'm way too scared to post over there. That place make's NASIOC's OT look like kindergarten.

I probably won't post a damn thing myself until I've at least won my class in autocross.

What's your excuse Scott?

Isn't Austin acting as your 'sponsor' to keep you from being tossed to the Mustang lions?

As it is, I figure the stuff I'll be asking about or giving answers to won't be of much interest to them, as long as I avoid noobish stuff like asking old questions.

Austin's my "sponsor" as far as him telling me: "Dude, corner-carvers is accepting registrations! You should sign up... just don't post anything because those guys will eat you alive".

It's pretty simple to stay alive on Corner Carvers; read the newbie (wiki) guide and follow the rules outlined there, and you'll be fine. If you don't, the moderators will probably give you a good roasting before promptly banning you. It was founded by some guys mostly from Corral.net (Mustang site) but has grown beyond that; there are people there with all kinds of cars. The general discussion forum is a good way to ease into membership there if you've got a decent head about your shoulders, which pretty much everybody from SECCS does.

If you need to post tech questions, just make damn sure you do thorough research and don't ask a Q that's been answered before.

I keep forgetting about this site until I read Pulp Racing every once a year or so...

Th "Official Rules for ALL who post on Corner-Carvers. Read them, learn them, love them." article is quite humorous as are teh newbie guides.

http://www.corner-carvers.com/forums...&threadid=7393

I love "topics that may get you banned immediately" #2...

"Topics devoted to drifting. We know it exists. We understand what it is. We have already made up our minds on the issue, and nobody will change them - no matter how many videos you post. There's an infinite number of places to discuss the pros and cons of the subject. Consider this infinity minus one."

Off to post a question about what I should to to my Stang to make it drift better with a long ass Sig and a John Cleese crotch shot?

Tread carefully, or you will be dubbed "Assclown" before you know what happened to you!

Truly one of the best no nonsense racing forums around.

Hence my current postcount there of 1, which consists of a test post in the n00b forum.

It will be quite some time before I try to contribute, but I can definitely stand to learn a lot quickly.
