Actually, I have seen posts like that before. "Check out Hisstank.com for (fill in the blank)" It gets REAL old because all the person does is try and point us in the direction of that site. Now, I don't know if my regular sites do that. I don't make a post with the title of "Check out the JBL for...". But I will do posts on occasion that report a new vehicle or whatever and in the post, will link to JBL or HTS or wherever. But I'm not doing it to convince people to join up over there or whatever.

Or maybe I'm off the point of what HissTank is doing?

As if any more proof were needed, I give you a post made just this evening by JBL member 'Carnage717'

Well after Tony's never ending backpedaling yesterday it looks like they cant even keep their word for one day. Early this morning I was checking their Forums and I noticed someone posted a link to ToyNewsI.com that showed that In Package pics to the Ghost Hawk and Cobra Stinger. He even posted the link to ToyNewsI.com in his post. Now before this Hisstank has not had any In package pics which means that since ToyNewsI.com got them first then the link should have been allowed to remain since they got scooped on the pics. So I figured I would bookmark the thread just to see what happens. I noticed that Hisstank now has 2 threads on their front page talking about the in package pics and the threads posted were created almost 6 hours after the one with the ToyNewsI.com link was posted. So now I go back to check the bookmark to thread with the ToyNewsI.com link in it and it has now been completely changed. The link to the to ToyNewsI.com has been erased and replaced with a link to the Hisstank Front Page and the in-package pics that were originally posted on ToyNewsI.com have been uploaded to their server and are posted in that thread. Just goes to show you that you cant trust anything that comes out of their mouth.

I agree that everyone has the right to run their site the way they see fit and the need to try to avoid redundant threads. Even on this site members are expected to follow certain guidelines. It's not personal or to make a profit, but for the greater good of the community. As I said, anyone can run a website the way they want. But when you start alienating people, don't be shocked when people stop clicking on your sponsors links. If I start seeing all of Joe community going towards a trend like that, I'd quit now.

Ho hum ho hum. :)

I have to agree, I'm not seeing what the big deal is. If you don't like the way they run their site don't go there and move on. In other words get over it.

It's not just a matter of how they run their site, it's a matter of them being hypocritical. DESTRO has posted numerous times on other sites with links saying "check this out" pointing back to HissTank. So it's okay for him/them to do that, yet when another Joe fan site wants to let people know their latest newsletter is available it's not okay? Or a member wants to post links to information to share with other Joe fans, it gets deleted? This situation has been boiling to the point of where it is at now for quite some time. Treat others how you would like to be treated. Don't hold a double standard.

Even members of thier own site pointed this out.
