Hey hammer great idea, hope it works out wonderfull.

W00T

OK I'm here. Let the part begin.

Welcome all! I KNOW it'll work out because almost every page on this site can be added to by YOU, so go ahead and add some links, post some Joe photos, a review, or even a Dio if you have some. Doesn't have to be new, just put it up!

Great site Hammer!
Whith the state G.I. joe is in now, I am glad that you are helping keep the dream alive!
VIVA 3 3/4!!!!!!! :D

Its Hammer time! :D

Fantastic job with this idea and site...I must also applaud you on the new Disciple chapters. I am longing to start a project but lack the space and time. I have a theme and am writing my story slowly. I dig your props...like the computer command desks in the Intel chapter #3, and the desk used for Ace's air traffic in #5. Any suggestions as to where I may score some peices like these. Unfortunately I don't own a Terrordrome, Mobile Command Center, etc. Ebay has some items for other sets, but not much. Any ideas or leads are greatly appreciated.

Yo Joe!

The elevator control console is from Playmobil police set. You can still buy it in some shops and online. The Joe briefing room console is from the Star Trek Enterprise line of 6" toys. It's from their brige sets. I has to trim the legs to make it Joe-height. :)

So glad you like them!

Dio-making can be a little daunting at times, so I suggest you start with a simple, short story, maybe just 10-20 photos total, to get your feet wet and get excited about it. Don't start with a HUGE story or it will seem like too big a job. Keep it simple to start.

Great idea, a good way to see all the dios that we might not see otherwise :D

Hammer sweet site mate & now you`ve gone International :D

Definitely digging the site, Hammer.

Great to have another place to congregate.

Wish you had a Major Bludd avatar, though.

I feel naked without one.

Hammer

Thanks for the advise and sharing your leads on the props. Hope to get something going soon.

Great idea. Three cheers for Hammerfel!

This is exactly what the GI Joe online community needed. You have my full support.

Violent

Mine as well ! this is exactly what the fans need right now!
im looking forward to adding something to the group here. :D

*Peakes his head in like a frightened mouse*

Um, hello. I have decided that I shall actually participate in this forum and (God willing...or just perhaps if get a digital camera) contribute some dios eventually. I can safely say no one here will no me because I only lurk at other Joe forums. So be gentle with the hazing and feed me every so often and I'll be good. Oh, and by the way, great idea Hammerfel and thank you for continuing Disciple, I was afraid it was dead.

*Scurries back to foxhole and camoflagues himself up*

Hi guys... I love what some of you can do with a camera... I'm not a Dio guy, but I joined so I can respond to somr of the work, and maybe in the future try my hand at it(always got Ideas rolling around in my head)...
keep up the awesome work!!!
-Joe

Hello to everyone...

I enjoy dio stories and dios in general very much and hopefully one of these damn days I'll finally do one of my own or at least create some cool pictures,(My broke-ass needs a digital camera desperately! :( )

Anyways, Hammerfel put together a pretty cool site here and I'll be back around to check it out from time to time...

This place is looking quite sharp! Thanks for the invite and it'll be fun to watch this place fill up with great pictures!

hammer,

i'm late cluing into what you've got going here, but its fantastic! while in school i have no real way of keeping up with all the various diostories running currently. but its great that we now have a dedicated resource to sampling them.

also mucho thanx for providing a hosting service for single shots. as joe fades quietly once again from retail, it will become even more important for the fans to keep interest in the line alive.

i'm sure i'll pop in with an image from time to time... once things get less hectic!

Mammerfel great site bro,cant get enough you and Violentfix are the ones who have gotten me into doing Dios,hope to have some pics up in the next couple of days.

Getting Prop is the only part i am having trouble with,and making all the customs for my Dio.It is alot of work and Hats off to all who take on this task,I find myself always taking shots over,because I think I can get a better angle.

Love the site................................

Bekker out..............

*Official* rule and regulations
 

I am not aware if Hammerfel ever posted rules and regulations. I think he figured we could self-moderate the place on our own. Unfortunately, the family can easily ask for people to behave, but there was no way to properly back it up. Now I can. So here’s the deal. I come from the SgtSavage/SavageSoundOffs/JoeBattlelines mentality of rules and regulations. Hopefully Fred won’t mind me using his. Honestly, I feel that his will work far better than if I used, oh, Metallica’s forum rules.

I’m a fair guy and I always give people the benefit of the doubt. As they say in school, “Everyone starts with an A at the beginning of the year. It’s you that changes it.” That’s very much how I see things.

Onto the body count...

1) Be good to each other. You can agree, you can disagree, and you can agree to disagree but don't get personal about it. We're all friends here, and we're all fans so let's just leave it at that.

2) Swearing is not allowed in any post in the forums or when replying to pictures. This includes the description area of your picture(s). IF your picture and/or dio has swearing, fine. Please keep in mind that we wish this to be a PG/PG13 sort of site. If you have a ton of swearing in a dio, please try and post a warning as a courtesy.

3) Absolutely no sniping and personal attacks on any member. If there is a problem between board members, take it somewhere else.

4) Blatant trolling. I'll be blunt on this one-- I don't care if you post links to features/reviews/dios/etc at other sites. What I do care about are people who only pop up to promote their site and don't otherwise contribute to the community in any way. This is "trolling for traffic" and I think it's a pretty sleazy thing to do. If you want to post links to your own sites/customs/work/etc, that's great and I encourage it! However, just don't show up to promote yourself and then leave.

5) Enjoy yourself. It’s a place to share stories and images w/ people who have the same interest. It’s great that we have a place like this.



The "order of battle" for disciplinary action around here.

If anyone is found consistently and intentionally violating the spirit of the rules above, the following steps will be taken:

1) Written warning. Either via email or PM you'll be hearing from me with one of those "Cut the crap!" messages. Hopefully this will be enough-- otherwise we move to...

2) Banning. I've seen too many boards grow "out of control" because some people can't remember to respect others. I won't tolerate that here-- ever. Anyone who consistently decides that they can do whatever they want will have to do so elsewhere.

BTW…

If you feel the need to disrespect other board members, make blatant insults, etc, your posts are subject to a bit of an edit. However, you'll know the reasons for the edit and everyone will be able to see that the post has been altered.


By the by...

You want a 1-way ticket to getting banned w/ no warnings?

1. Steal pics from another site, post them here and say they are yours.

It's one thing to post your own stuff. It's another thing to post someone's stuff with their permission. (ie; hosting pics on your own account and posting it for the public) But taking a pic from another site and posting 'em, that's a no-no no matter where you're from.

2. Racism in any form.

Sounds very fair to me, G. Anyone not prepared to abide by the rules can go and start their own site. :)

Agreed!

Totally agree. Let's have fun and make friends!

what they said :D

Harumph!!! (hopefully i'm not the only Mel Brooks fan here)

I concur; sounds very fair. Thanks man, and again, congrats!

Fair and unbiased, just like it's been and how it should be. And by posting "The Rules" people can't use the excuse of "But I didn't know any better". :D The next step to this is also having the membership advise you of problems in a timely manner, so they can be dealt with.

Thanks again for all your hard work in keeping things on track.

Of course, if anyone has problems (in general) they can always contact me PM or email. I'm ASSUMING the rules are pretty basic and normal. I mean, you go to any other board, it's all about the same.

Just so you guys know, there IS a 'report to moderator' button on pictures and posts. There's a ton of lil hidden buttons around this place that people might not be aware of (including the "rate this picture" button).

The exclamation point on people's posts, you click that and you can send it in as a bad post.

On pictures (or dios), under Image Tools, you can "Report to Moderator".

Just a heads up, of course.

will v13 ever come bak

The answer is NO and neither will AZNKILLA.



Did I mention any racist screen names, posts, etc equal immediate ban?

I don't want to sound dumb but how is aznkilla racist? I'm confused why is it racist and how is it racist? :confused:

just wandering

AZNKILLA is usually read as Asian Killer. But you guys knew him better as Valor13.

oh that is really racist. now I understand why he is banned thanks for clearing that up.

Congrats Sonneilon and keep the good work!

Gatilho

I like I was sayin to Sonn, you don't mess with a made guy, fellas. We're all just connected guys. Sonn got upped and now he has the power.

Sorry, been watching too much Donnie Brasco and Goodfellas. hehehe

I thought there was something "off" about that name, but just couldn't put my finger on it. Nice job on catching him right away. :)

Hopefully NoValor13 will get bored soon and go away just like the troll did awhile back. Good work keeping on top of the situation, G. There is no room for hateful people here.

Well, something Valor13 should have realized, as an administrator of a website, you can easily retrieve IP addresses. Being a former board admin, it is quite easy to recognize when a banned member comes back, it is usually within a few days of being banned. They watch for a day when a couple of new members join, and think they will be lost in the mix, but a screen name like that gives it away. Kudos to Sonne for stayin on top of things in dealing with a joker like this.

Fine, I WILL!! (Oh wait a minute.... I already did that.)

Glad I could help out, G. This place is too good to let a few bad apples ruin the bunch.

Roger that.

Thank you!
