I'm curious, why can't new users ("newby") post in the regular forum?

Welcome to the site!

The best answer is found here:

In a nutshell, it is to help prevent spambots from registering and posting spam and ****.
It is also to help identify real, Oldsmobile-loving individuals.

The Newbie forum also allows new members to introduce themselves and let us all know what Olds you have and other related topics.

See you around!
