General Scarlett Hell hath no fury.... Offline --> Posts: 7,646 --> Join Date: Dec 2006	HISSTank.com bull$h!t..... I don't post here in the forum anymore for a few reasons....but this is something that even I can't ignore. HISSTank.com has become a black mark on the G.I. Joe community at large. I'm not going to type out a big long post, I'll let you all check threads from other Joe Boards: JoeBattlelines: http://www.joebattlelines.com/phpBB...=105021#p105021 JoeCanuck.com: http://www.joecanuck.com/joe/board/...hp?topic=2865.0 JoeCustoms.com: http://www.joecustoms.com/forums/vi...&st=0&sk=t&sd=a As is stated in all these threads (and any others that they in turn add to), what HT is doing is this side of reprehensible. It speaks more to assinine bullshit behavior than to being part of a 'larger community'. To that end, I am doing my part as a fellow collector and fan by bringing this evidence to a site, that while some may not like or appreciate me being on, is still a place very dear to me....all of you. If you choose to continue visiting HISSTank.com that is your right and priviledge, just know that it is not here for the 'fans'.....it's all about the $$$ for them.......and the hell with everybody else.

A free newsletter done by fans for fans being given that treatment is unreal. To pass it off as "Linking ot another site" and "Lowers our board" is just indicitive of what they stand for, themselves. I have been a member of the Joe community for nearly 7 years, in that time I have also joined Star Wars forums, Indiana Jones Forums, Comic book/Superhero forums and Transformers forums and I have never seen anything like this in any of those other communities. The different boards might get a bit punchy with one another but thankfully we have never outright shunned each other, and I doubt seriously that members of the community would stand for that. Still it does get one's ire up when they do. __________________ http://www.zedsjoesite.com Home Scale Wars updated Mon-Fri Every Week

As GS said, IF anyone wants to chill at Hisstank they can. They can chill at both places. BUT as of now, the JD is distancing themselves from the HissTank.com. Yes, I am following Fred's (LeoTDragon's) lead on this one. From the man who I learned mod/administrator stuff from (give or take EagleEyeJoe of the JBL) Because of this history of behavior from HissTank, JoeBattlelines wishes to distance themselves and separate themselves from that site in as many ways of possible, so from here on out we ask that members not link to their site or their images. They have lived their “life” keeping themselves on an island, so we are simply complying with their wishes and letting them exist in their own corner of the fandom. Hopefully their members realize what is going on behind the scenes and exactly how much a “community” and a “family” is not encouraged there, and how that site is the very antithesis of everything that the online G.I. Joe fandom has been about since the beginning. Also, I want to keep the JD drama free. Well, in terms of the weird stuff that happens on other boards. So with that mind, PLEASE do not link to anything on HIssTank.com. Please??? PRetty Please??? Last edited by Sonneilon : 10-26-2008 at 10:07 PM.

lehsreh G.I. Smurf Offline --> Posts: 3,446 --> Join Date: Jan 2006	mmm, this really bothers me. ive spoken with a few people before about making money from joes, but now i understand it somewhat. but not what they say, thats well it isnt smurfy,lol. it really does bother me as it seemed that many of the people on there saw a lot of things the way i did. they seem to like or at least accept stuff like cobra-la and the cartoon and that made me seem welcome. joe dios is my home but sometimes i feel like im on the outside looking in because i like these things. but even if i liked the way they saw things, i cant be a part of something like that. AND YOU MADE ME BELIEVE I WAS NORMAL!!!
