The only time I've ever looked at JBL has been when someone here or on YoJoe has linked to it. I feel I get what I need by way of news from YoJoe (that was where I found out about the 25th Ann. cardback pics) and JoeDios is where I enjoy indulging in the hobby with a cool bunch of like-minded people. Plus there's the newborn
www.gijoeuk.com which could be a lot of fun (and considering I'm intending to contribute to the site content as well as being a Mod on the forum, some of that fun's down to me, I guess...)
The first Joe site I ever joined was the now-defunct custom site, thebivouac.com -- which was replaced by JoeCustoms. I have an account there -- Andrew Mortimer is my username -- but I've never posts on the forums. I have one custom up there (originally made for the first group project back in the bivouac days) and I might put more up if I ever paint them :P
