This not possible with Nitromater since we verify each person when registering.
This hasn't happened but wouldn't be a bad idea.

I finally signed in in who knows how long due to this thread. Probably good to jump in every now and then just say something.
That place went to crap. I visit it every once in a while. I joined the Phantom Bullet when it went down.Great idea! I went to this other site and got a whole bunch of people into drag racing to join us. They were on something called Yellow- something or other…. Should be a real hoot!

Ghio was a great guy, and super talented. That one was a tough loss, and there had been a few.
As for Franklin, yeah- the OGs from here can tell you some crazy stuff about his posts; he definitely leaned towards Alternative Engineering.
Hell- that's twenty-some years ago, I think.
Ray and I started communicating a lot about three or four months before he passed. I miss him to this day. I hate that I never got to meet him in person.
Well, I'll never get those 5 minutes of my life back. I scrolled through a few pages of that thread and it's basically the same 2 guys going back and forth every few minutes for the whole weekend. Not my idea of an interesting or entertaining post but I guess to each their own. I'm sure there have been many other long posts here over the years that have had a lot more substance to them.

When (we) went to actual names and the verification vetting - that was a good thing. Kind of held you accountable in some ways. There’s been some fantastic conversations here over the years; and yes there been some really dumb stuff too. I think you need a little of both actually. But knowing people’s names really seems to make a difference.
There’s some amazing people here; and some who’ve we lost along the way. When I’m talking racing with someone - someone who I feel would compliment the nitromater community…. I still point them in this direction. But hey - just because you like racing and cars and have a computer doesn’t automatically make you a great ‘Mater. You have to really show respect and listen; but don’t be afraid to fly your own flag too. We are a community - full of awesome folks!

Welcome back!
I skimmed through it too, jumping around. I think I saw only one post from someone whose name I recognized from the present.
Man that post thread is 19 years old - that's pretty wild, but also speaks to the quality of this site I say, that it's still working and working good.

It's funny his name came up here. Just last week I did a Google search on his name out of curiosity and he hasn't been active on any forums (under his own name, anyway) for at least 10 years. I didn't agree with much of what he said but he sure kept it interesting. And in the days of "hiding behind the keyboard" he always used his real name.

Alternative Engineering... I was impressed by his Propter.
Though maybe 'impressed' isn't quite the right word. But it did make an impression.
