Exactly that's all I know how to be!!!

This is a cool place. I still feel like a newbie (but in a good way). Lots o folks post cool shots. I learn a lot by the comments, but more by looking at what they do. For example, Hammerfel posted some pics of a battle scene at long distance, then of his camera. Footloose does great photos, then posted pics of his tripods and LED lights. Some years ago, or maybe months, in a Weekend Warriors theme, ppl posted shots of how they did their sets--the stuff you don't see. I liked that. Educational and inspired me to try other approaches.

In honesty, the Internet is a great big place of which I care little about. People often appear on one site then vanish onto another site all the time. That's the nature of the 'Net. People visit a site, lurk, join, contribute, grow tired of it then move on to another site.

I don't care what goes on in the other sites. I care what goes on in JoeDios.

Am I the only one who didn't know there were "cliques"? I've been a member here for a very long time, and with rare exceptions (vacations, etc.), I have come to this site literally every single day since the day I joined! Yet I didn't know about any of this until that big thread a couple of weeks ago.

I guess my point is, is it possible that a few people from either side are blowing this all way out of proportion? I seriously didn't notice any dissent until very recently! Maybe it just means I wasn't paying very close attention...

I'm in the same boat as you. People give me lists of who's in which camp, and I really have to try hard to care who is on what side. In my mind, they're all JOEDIOS members, and under my protection.

I did not know either. I have been on Flickr for a long time mainly because I photograph more than just GI Joe. Star Wars is my first love and I take alot of SW pics. I did not know I was at war with a MSN group
I do not comment as much as I used to, mainly for lack of time but I will start more. This is an awesome place, thank you Nate for providing it at your expense for us! I am sorry you are having to go through this, I am sure you feel like you are a kindergarten teacher. Long live JD, the BEST place for Joes on the net!

I couldn't have put it better myself.

Being part of the 2 groups I would like to say 2 things.

About the MSN Crew:
I was approached by them when I first joined the JD. A good place to share friendship and have a real-time chat. Learned some techniques from them like the macro button and the no-flash rule. It has been a good place for me to practice myself taught English. It is a good place too to share not-toys related subjects.

The Flickr Gang:
In late 2009 I was invited there by Craig because there was the O-Ring group (later called after him) where ARAH fans like me were sharing their pictures (JD was out of business at that time). I enjoy my time there.

I show respect to people in what I say, in my pictures and in my trades; and expect the same.

The only ELITE is in Heaven now. And I think he wouldn't call elite himself.
