JoeDios.com Forums - View Single Post - What are your favorite Joe forums?

I posted at TNI years ago when it was American Dream and then for a while after the switch. What I liked about it was that there were different sections and at the time some pretty cool people. I always got along better with the people that were into different lines and posted in different sections than those that were just TF or just Joe, etc. Seems like people only really wanted to discuss what was in at the time though which is great but it gets old too. Eventually I moved on and I only return to the site once in a while when there's a scoop I wanna read. The place has become disgusting though as far as adds go. There's 5-8 on any given page.

Was on Yo Joe for a while wheeling and dealing in the trade section which is where a good chunk of my ARAH stuff came from.

Posted at His Stank for a few months shortly after joining here. Was alright but it wasn't my main spot. In recent years I've heard most of the stories of the goings on there and I'm glad I don't bother with it any more. Some of the weirdest stuff I've heard about on forums that's all I'm gonna say.

Currently a member at the 'Drome though I don't post much if ever. It can be a little daunting to navigate and by looking at the front page the forums feel like an afterthought rather than the jist of what the spot's about.

Also a member at the ARAH club same as Rambo posted. It's a great spot if you're only into the classics and it's funny because I see several familiar faces from years past.

For the 1/6 stuff I generally use Flickr. There're a couple 12" Joe groups there and while they center around the oldskool 60s-70s Joe they aren't limited to it and you see lots of customs and kitbashes which is always fun!

Seems like I found JDs through TNI though I don't recall how at this point. Quickly after joining here it really became my only port of call because I was always into to dioramas just never had a spot to view them let alone post any. I'm imagine that's how a lot of folks came across it and the excitement they must've felt when they realized there were others into the same hobby.
I prefer the picture discussion route anymore. Always makes for more fun, imo, cause there's not really any debate and it's a fresh way to enjoy figures you known for years but through some one else eyes. It's easier to post a shot of Tripwire and then talk about how much you like or dislike the figure than to just start a thread about him. Maybe it's memories of old commericials and catalogs but Joes seems the perfect thing to diograph.
