That is just a feeling with no grounding in reality. Your dios and photos are very popular (with good reason) and there is no anti cobra la agenda here, people do complain about everything from Cobra La to Snake-eyes because here they can state their oppinion to people who will understand what they are talking about , not because they want to convert other people into their thinking.

I have looked at Hiss tank as nothing more than a commercial site where hasbro would announce new product. As for the movie, what I've seen has not impressed. Many characters were miscast . If CC is the the kid from third rock from the sun then I'm buying every toy there is because it won't be worth a damn thing. No Stalker, No Roadblock, show me where the exit is so I can leave early.Better yet, I'll poor soda on the theatre floor. I won't go on Hiss tank cuz that's what Scatlett and Sonny want. AKA Seen the stills and not impressed!!!!

I dont understand..

:confused: I don't understand what Hisstank would have to gain from alienating themselves in such a way?
So they are basically saying.. we'll let you promote your sponsors and such, if we can get financial compensation? :confused:
It's a very elitist attitude towards fandom in general.. I guess the people running the site have plenty of financial clout to back this decision up.. well they better do.. :rolleyes:
I'm kind of in the same situ as Outrider.. I just go to Yojoe for my news.. and here for all my dio necessities.. both the sites rock, despite some peoples views on yojoe being overly harsh, i've always felt welcomed there.. and the website itself has a great source of information.

I'd like to also add that Pru, for what it is worth, we never saw eye to eye on lots of things, but we both know that we have the community spirit at heart when we do things.. you were always very into the community building side of GIJOE as much as for the love of enjoying the hobby..
Props to You for posting this up. :)

Heck, This is the ONLY GI Joe site I check everyday. I go to Yo Joe for pics and to read filecards, and JBL from time to time to read Fred's hysterical reviews and pic up some news. Yeah, from what I'm hearing, these guys are what is wrong with the hobby right now....gouging and profiteering. Don't we have enough issues with Hasbro? If anything, the fans need to stick together. That's why I NEVER sell my extra stuff, I'd rather give it away and help the community. Occasionally, I'll trade, but I try to give the other guy the better of the bargain! Yeah, this issue with Hisstank shouldn't effect me much. I only went there when someone on here said they had pics or info on new stuff.

Umm hasbro don't use them to announce new product. STank just has a insider that gets them the pics first. At the Con Hasbro has said that they they don't like HisStank getting all the pictures early. They prefer to do debuts with Master Collector, but Stank always gets leaked pics first. All STank gets is leaked pictures nothing directly from Hasbro. Even Redclaw said once in the JC chat that they had rights to a few pics early and STank posted them first cause of the insider.

In an attempt to remain 'guardedly neutral', I just got this from 'CrimsonGuardVet76' on 'Tri-State Vipers'......he pulled it from "them":

Update:

Hehe, ok, I guess I need to be more clear, since there seems to be some sort of riot going on around the net.

Links to other Joe sites, other news sites, etc IS ALLOWED, if done in the course of normal discussion here on Hisstank.

Example:

Thread: USS Flagg variantz!

--I have a Flagg variantz, yay!

--Me too, but my part is black, not gray!

--Hey look at the pic on YoJoe.com -> (Link to Flagg Entry). I guess the regular version is gray!
This is completely fine.

In the course of regular back and forth about a topic already being discussed, a site is linked to for reference, pointing out new/different info, that is 100% fine and allowed.

This has always been the case here. You can see examples here:

You just can't start threads specificly to "PIMP YOUR/ANYONES ISH". Some people may not know the difference, that's fine, that's what mods are for.

Regarding news type posts. If YoJoe, JoeCanuck, CobraIsland, TNI, etc get news, that is not posted here on Hisstank, such as new images, interviews with industry folks, etc, then linking to them is allowed. We may even do so on our front page, and link to them for it. If it's news, and excluisve to them, then all links are on so to speak.

If we at Hisstank have the same news posted on our front page, since it was not "exclusive" to another site, whether it be before or after the other site's posting, we will redirect people to view the news at our site, and discuss at our site. That's part of site building, some or all other sites listed here do exactly the same thing.

TNI isn't going link to us for images Hasbro also sent them - just because we were 10 minutes first. And vice versa. Part of the game, completely fine. And both sites, of course, want their community to discuss this info at their site, to build their community. Also completely understandable.

What is disallowed, is the starting of a thread for the sole purpose of promoting another website, whether it be something like "Yay, look at this site" or "Yay, this site updated with non-news content". If a fan who doesn't know the difference does it - no harm no foul - mods will address the issue on a case by case basis. That's what they are for.

So to wrap up, links to these other sites, any of them or others not mentioned, ARE ALLOWED, HAVE BEEN ALLOWED, and will continue to be within these guidelines.

WE WILL NEVER BAN ALL LINKS TO ANY SITE.

Regardless of their treatment of our site within their own communities.

I will try to clarify if there are still issues. Just be patient.

Now before anyone jumps in to defend, remember what I'm about to say.....

I'm going to cry bullsh** on this....they are now realizing that they've inserted the barrel into their mouths and taunted everyone to pull the trigger-which the community did.

Now they know that they're f**** because they attempted to dictate the G.I. Joe fountain of knowledge and camraderie and it backfired, big time......

I think my brain is still in AutoCAD mode. What on earth did HTank just post?

You can link to pics on their site but you can't say, "Hey, Hisstank has new pics up of (fill in the blank)". Oh nutz, never mind. You guys can discuss this. Save the drama for someone else's momma. Or something like that.

Man, I go to work for 3 days strait and all heck breaks loose...

This has been interresting to try and catch up on. I only go to Hisstank for the sightings, customs and other postings of interrest. I am a bit piterbed that they combind the 3 regional california sightings into one HUGE one.

Oh well. we shall see... good to be informed.

Scarlett i was going to say the same thing, Bull$h$t, the guys at hisstank aren't buying in to this, no is,
