Earlier Wednesday, Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan reportedly threw off the shackles of Twitter, quit the social media service and invited followers to find him on his new website peopleandtheircars.com ... Yes, that Billy Corgan.
After having apparently mulled the move for a while, according to a screengrab of his tweet found on Consequence of Sound, Corgan pulled the plug on his Twitter feed to presumably devote his social media time to curating a website featuring vintage pictures of people, houses, and -- importantly -- cars.
Surfing over to the 'Join the RBC' tab brings up a message encouraging visitors to subscribe "not only the chance to receive additional images, but to be 'first-in-line' for updates on new merchandise and forthcoming People And Their Cars/Hexestential [sic] books." However, it doesn't explain what exactly the RBC (Red Border Club) is or why it exists, aside from offering visitors free news on merch.
While the website does have some strange threads, it does have some fun images. Take the one below, for example, which appears to be an image from a stadium parking lot in the early 1960s.

One post that left me scratching my head displays a photo from the 1800s under which the author surmises the photographed woman had a prosthetic hand, concluding, "But that said I think the lady's black bows are fetching."
Whatever the site ends up being, we're glad Corgan didn't straight-out give up on remaining in the public sphere. And we're sure anything Corgan and the RBC brings to us will be delightfully bizarre.
