Ender098 produces some of the best quality pictures and work on this site.. he can't go.. We can't make the decision for him.. however if his mind truly is made up and he is to leave the site then this would be a massive killing for this community.. We all need to make sure this doesn't happen. Theres no reason. Myself included why things shouldnt be brought back around to "normal" this place has always had a strange atmosphere and wacky sense of humour.. I blame part of the communities demise for my own verbal outburst not so long ago. However where would we All be if we didnt realise the errors of our ways.. and we truly are a close nit community as PHU pointed out "This site will lose out if you leave" those are words of truth. So I call upon those reading to do something about it. What can we do as a community to make Frank aka Ender098 stay? Lets leave him to make the decision himself. I've asked him to reconsider until sunday this week.. and I ask that at least WE all as a community stop the bickering and charge up the banter! Be as active as you want and by all means post some pictures of your favourite joes. We need to turn this community round and fast. If Frank can see this community will change for the better.. I'm sure he'll have no reasons for leaving this sunday. What do you say Ender? Will you give us until Sunday? __________________ My Sites Eternity Toys Superiorville Toy blog Urban Saboteur Stories Social Sites & Communities Facebook Flickr Tweet Me

So to me, the real problem started when we needed a moderator (don't get me wrong G. and Gen. Scarlett). I'm here since 2005, had to change my nick once from ToneGuns to ToneGunsRevisited, 'cuz I reached my post pictures limit that was in 70mb. And I was here till 2006 with many friends and we didn't needed a moderator. We could play at the sand box without killing each other. Since them we have 2 moderators and things got always worst. I'm not saying the moderators are the guilty ones, I just making an statement that grew up guys can't play alone, man. What a shit are we? A good friend said me in PM, to stay cool and people would be showing his real face here and they did. I'm really sad about Frank quiting, because he is my personal friend. I'll stay here, because I belive that the ones who aren't liked here will fall and reallity and leave. The people who are starting all this should leave. The little troll, he doesn't bother me. He is just a stupid small child and childs say and do stupid things al the time. The real problem are some "grew up" guys that are always trying to start a riot here. Go get a real life and a real fight, I think this is what they are needing. __________________ ADSUMUS

oh so true. before sonn became moderator we didnt need one, we could handle things ourselves. even when he became moderator he really didnt have to try to keep things under control, we did that ourself. i think thats the problem, dont lock threads or whatever, just let us be the grown men we are. we were ok in the start without a mom or dad and i think thats what we need now. to be able to handle our own problems and not go running to someone to block a thread anytime a hurtful word is written. thats just running and not teaching us to handle stuff ourselves. like tonegun said, he doesnt bother me either. just let him do what he wanyts and everyone can let him know before he even ask that 'no, we are not going to give our joes away"

Captain Max Banned Offline --> Posts: 773 --> Join Date: Jul 2007	Okay,you guys have got my German temper up.As has been said,don't take offense that isn't intended,but if the shoe fits..... General Scarlett has been a hardworking friend to all of us! When I had a meltdown and quit the site,not only did she post asking me to come back( as many of you did ) she personally contacted me and talked me into rejoining because my presensce was valued. Now how do you think she feels now?Do you think she feels valued? I'm not an expert at Forums,but I imagine that being an Admin is hard damned work! Clearing Spam,monitoring posts for content-more on that later!-and stuff that I'm sure I can't even imagine.And I somehow get the feeling that she isn't getting paid..... GS has been a friend to everyone on this site,full of encouragement and advice-but sometimes she has to restrict content.We don't have "Free Speech" on a Moderated board that someone else owns-and remember,SOME things ARE inappropriate in a toy-based context,like reproductions of adult magazines....I personally read that mag,and I think it's classy and fun,with beautiful photography,it's not appropriate on a toy site where little Billy might spot it and ask his mommy "What's this?" Wait for the call from Hasbro's lawyers then! And now the drama-I know a certain someone has driven many of us crazy,1 or 2 members in particular.....but we've let it harm this site,and harm the "fellow-feeling" of being Adults lucky enough to still be in love with our childhood favorites! I bounce around between several forums in a day.....and lately JD has had the feel of a shark pit,8-10 people on line and nobody posting a thread or anything.......are we burned out? Are we addicted to drama?Let me say,JoeBattleLines has been a LOT more fun lately......... I don't know what to say about GS locking threads,except if any of us ever make Mod or Admin,we might have a different view........ I may have lost friends with this post.But I think General Scarlett is feeling like she's lost friends right now too.
