To create a new subject, or ask a question you will be creating what we call a thread: The Great American RoadTrip Forum is divided into dozens of topics, like "Fall & Winter RoadTrips" or "Share the Gas". Choose the topic that seems to fit your query the best. For example, let's choose "Fall & Winter RoadTrips"
Click on "Fall & Winter RoadTrips"

Click submit (*******)
If you click Submit and find that you get an error message -- it is probably because you haven't yet clicked on the authorization link that we sent you at the time of your original registration. You may find that this vital link is in an e-mail sitting in your "spam e-mail folder". If you are unable to find it, contact the Mark Sedenquist and I will assist you.
*********************************
The Forum is moderated by nine members of the roadtrip community and their primary job is to serve as your host and guide while you are using the Forum. They are all knowledgeable and experienced roadtrippers with millions of miles of road expertise under their collective tires. We strive to be a source of information and ideas about that nature and philosophy of road tripping and also provide itinerary suggestions. We enforce a set of “good neighbor” rules to ensure that everyone’s experience on the Forum is welcoming and helpful.
Here is a post that clarifies this policy a little.
This forum is not be used for gratuitous advertising and anyone who crosses that line will be prevented from participating in the community. If you have a question about this policy, please contact
Mark Sedenquist, who is the Forum Administrator.
Fifteen (15) Days Time Limit to Activate Registration When you register, you are sent a link to confirm registration on this Great American RoadTrip Forum. If you are not able to confirm registration in this 15 days period, your membership will be pruned, (removed) and you will need to re-register. (We have had to implement this to counteract some of the more nefarious techniques used by professional spamsters...)
As of today, January 20th, 2009, we have created a Twitter account for RTA -- I will be updating it as things occur -- or ideas come to me -- it will be interesting to see how many members become followers.
