i'm not going to be placing a restriction on newbies. they do have some restrictions though, but that is in regards to karma and the for sale section. the whole idea of the newbie section is to welcome them.. not to suggest that newbies be locked down to this section.
locking newbies into this section of the forum will only make more work for us, it already has as it is with general maintenance questions and other questions about the cars being placed here instead of their correct location under technical discussion.
they can start there and then step outside of that and find their feet. yes newbies will ask stupid questions, but so did we when we were new to the game/their age.
but yeh, i dont think restrictions are the best idea cause the sites that restricted me when i signed up i never went back, and i dont want antrx to be the kind of place that i wouldn come back too. admittedly i'm not around here very much at all anymore but thats ok.. doesnt mean i dont like the place, just means i have other business/obsessions to attend to
