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:
Quote:
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......
