There’s another website populated by a few former Cartalk Cafe Dartre people (including me). There is no moderator there and there are many intelligent people with strong opinions - but troll behavior is very rare.

It’s likely that you will feel that you’ve crashed some type of private party when you get there but I assure you that all new posters and their ideas and attitudes are very welcome.

Check it out - registration is easy and immediate - [http://www.theplanbforum.com/forum/](http://www.theplanbforum.com/forum/)

It’s been a while since I registered but I think you should have gotten an email from an administrator when you registered and a response is needed to complete the registration.

If that’s not a solution, let me know and I’ll contact one of the admins to see what’s going on.

I registered awhile back. Never got approved. Resent activation email. Still haven’t gotten approved. Honestly, I give up - if a forum can’t process new registrations within a week, it’s… Shall we say, in need of better management.

I’ve passed on your concerns, _wesw._ I’m not sure if shadowfax was referring to Plan B or Le Chat House but I mentioned both names and registration problems.

FWIW - the admins are in Australia and Britain, so that may affect their timing.

Okay, shadowfax. I thought that might be the case.

To wesw -

I was just notified that you have been registered at Plan B - [http://www.theplanbforum.com/forum/index.php](http://www.theplanbforum.com/forum/index.php)

lots of great comments but they seem to refer to several different sites and I’m having trouble distinguishing which is which…

I **think** most of the comments are about the le-chat-house site ??

Le Chat is dead just waiting for the subscription to run out. Tragically the one remaining administrator was killed in a car accident and the other died of cancer. There was no back up plan since it was an upstart from Car Talk way back when they changed their format. I was involved until they required mail in registration and then I just didn’t bother and no one missed me. Seemed like kind of a closed club.

The one I really miss is my wood working board that died when the server blew up. You get to know people and who to rely on and then all of a sudden the doors are locked. So I’m just not anxious to get involved much anymore. Who wants to fight anyway but I do miss being able to ask a question on equipment or construction methods etc.

Sorry, I didn’t realize this was two years old and I’d already. I think we need the dates in bold or something.
