Lately; however, it's become obvious that some racers are gaining 'alias' identities to stir the pot or otherwise abuse others or the forum in general. That is BS and to post on the forum with a suspect user name leaves the person open to suspicion. Seems to me if somebody wants to genuinely come on the board and ask for help they can at least provide a name and competition number. My 2 cents....

There is a section for members who use their real name and competition number. If no namers are such a problem for you, why don't you contain your activity to that section?
Lets face it, the reason this board continues to flourish is the fact that it's free and it's anonymous. Stirring the pot and controvercy only help the board recieve more daily hits and more views. All to the delight of the paying sponsors.
This board contains allot of great information. But even from it's humble beginning, when Willy Raymond's stories of NASA type electronics drew the first followers to Classracer, the board has always been open to using an alias. I would bet it will continue that way.
You don't need to look to far to see what charging a membership fee and real names do to a similar BB.
