JoeDios.com Forums - View Single Post - Target Range: February 2008!!!!!!

Seems like the Target Range fills up pretty darn quick these days. I figured I'd jump on since most of the people have never seen me participate. I usually like to save room for anyone who wants to try it out. I remember the days when I'd have to IM people to do it! GIJock, Outrider, ToneGuns, Ender, LordRaven, etc. I'm glad that it's really picked up steam.

Just in case anybody is interested, I originally came up with this idea some time ago. I thought it'd be fun to showcase figures, be it new or old to see if they can withstand time. Does that old Cross Country look as good as he did when we were kids? When it first started, I had to IM people to sign up. GIJock. Outrider. LordRaven. Ender098. ToneGuns. THose names come to mind as well as a few others who aren't really around anymore.

The Comic Box was my idea too. Being a JBL-frequenter, I noticed that they always cover the latest stuff, but what about the 155 issues BEFORE Devils Due? Do those stories still work NOW or are they conditional on the era?

Now, the whole WEEKEND THEME idea... A bunch of us wanted to come up with a group project for JoeDios. To get a project where EVERYONE can join in easily. This was TONEGUNS idea and it was HIS idea that Cobra Commander should be the 1st theme week. For some time, we ran votes on what we wanted. Sure, I took note of what people wanted, but when we ran dry, I came up with ideas and let people vote. Or someone else would come up with 3 ideas and members would vote. It did go away for awhile, but with all the new folks, LordRaven helped bring it back. A lot of what happened at JoeDios... There were a lot of ideas on how to fun, but nobody would write it up and post it to make it official. For that 1st Theme Week(end), I simply wrote it up 2 weeks in advance so I could make sure people had a full week to get their pictures done. And I believe I gave it 3 days. My belief was, if you saw something absolutely awesome, it'd cause 'you' to run out and shoot. Certainly, Outrider's shots have ALWAYS given people inspiration.
