There are plenty of butt kissers on NABR. Butt kissing is not condoned but when its your butt that is being kissed - I think a few get let off.
Ive been on there for about 3yrs and is probably one of the reasons I come off as a 'hard-ass' sometimes (apart from otherwise being an asshole
). I refuse to post on any Hyundai forums since they are almost worse than Honda/mainstream DSM boards.
If you can read, follow simple and reasonable guidelines you will be fine over there and will pick-up some mighty useful info from the truly fast DSMers. There's no reason to be afraid of posting if you do a little research and aren't demanding to be 'spoon fed'. Oh, and dont piss off RiceFed lest he will close the boards to everyone - again.
Hats off to 4G61t.com and Jason who runs this site as a good example of what a public forum can be without being a hardass - yet...
PS - and thanks be that we had something to replace the Mirage forum on the old SE.DSM.ORG forums!
