not having gay rules and ---- was one of the things i liked about hmt when i first joined. anyone can come on here and ask stupid questions, douche is right, dumb people will get flamed and not want to come back. if they are persistent then they will either get banned or earn a little respect depending on how they go about it. this site is set up perfect the way it is... it is open to anyone, but the active membership is selective on it's own without gay *** rules on who we deem acceptable and who we can't be bothered with. hmt doesn't need rules other than: "no gay ****".
I would agree, I mean I remember when I used to be a noob almost 3 years ago, and look at me now

I'm liking the test thing... the only thing is that many noobs come here to learn. So we should make them read a nuB guide to HMT first, and then test them on their knowledge so they don't ask questions on the basics...

It'll be good, just watch...

making people take test or having people pay or needing referrals to join is gay. Noobs come to HMT to learn how to build turbo kits. If they already knew how to do everything that they wouldn't even come to a site like this. I know if HMT was a pay site I would have never signed up and 98% of you wouldn't even be here. Just look at the donation thread. Only a slim few people actually donate to this site to help it out. Some of these long term members and post -----s never gave a dime to this site so making this a pay site would just destroy it.


BTW I just realized that there is no guest viewing so that may explain why all your noobs belong to us.

I think that there should be a way where noobs HAVE to read the FAQ at the top of the FI forum. It seems like every other post in there is something that is obviously covered in the sticky.
