I'm a new user,SOMD local,I've read a few threads on this sight when I've googled questions and they were pretty useful,so I finally decided to become a member. I've never used a forum or anything like this website before,so if you guys could give me some friendly advice on how to property navigate the sight and do things that would be great! I'm sorry that's probably a really stupid question Hahahaha. Thank you!

The best bet is to P.M. Norton and tell him you demand he show you how to use the internet.

Not stupid - Welcome from the Eastern Shore.

Use the "search" feature to find or narrow down the subject you are looking for. There is a ton of info here to sort through. If you are looking to do something illegal, go somewhere else. Other than that, sit back, search, read and enjoy. I have learned A SHAT TON from the folks here and appreciate it all (including the entertainment).


MODS - my apologies in advance if I stepped overbounds about illegal activity going somewhere else.

Your sadist charm seems to be working a little. Well played.

Thanks guys. I feel like I offended people by asking if it was still legal to machine a lower. I'm sorry I didn't know l,that's why I asked. I got a few nice genuine answers which made me realize i should not try to do it because it is illegal,so I'm going to listen to them. I'm sorry I didn't mean to offend anyone if I did. Like I said I'm new here and was just looming for an answer.

From the Home page go to Forums. From the Forum page go to Introductions. Read the first post it explains many of the functions. Post a new thread to introduce yourself and you will receive posts with links to many FAQ.

Welcome!

Read a LOT and think twice before posting. I still delete 3 out of 4 of my posts without ever posting them. 2 out of 3, anyway. That may be why I've never been banned (yet).

Now if you really want to mess yourself up, just make it a point to hit the "New Posts" button in the red menu bar at the top of the page. Skim down the list, and whenever something looks slightly interesting, right click on it, then choose "Open in New Tab". Check all the new posts, then go back and read the tabs you opened. When you're done, hit "New Posts" again. Do this every day, so you won't miss anything.

Warning: that way lies madness. Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!

Yup, he drove to my house 150 miles away to show me after threatening I was going to stop payment on my dues!
