I have had numerous incidents with Mods over links being deleted. I thought we were a community sharing information? I've grown tired of the elite attitude they have taken. A few of the new mods (and existing) really behave like they have a chip on their shoulder. I've said many of times this attitude would come back to bite them too. And it has.

Valid point G.S
You know what else.. If this was their stance from the beginning.. why not just come out and say it? For me this alone proves their original idea backfired.. and now they dont like the size of the gun-barrel.. they are trying to be flexable to save themselves.
I'll say it once and i'll say it again.. communities need to stick together and build up their community, but they do need to share this information and their links, sure they will probably share more than 1000 plus members.. but isn't that the members choice to go where they please?

'Kay, so I just went 'there' to see what's what....and this is the 'header post' of the 'new sub-forum'....





Apparently clogging the hell outta the 'non- Tank' related threads is perfectly acceptable....

That is such a load. They know people aren't going to "sift" through one continous thread looking for things. Way to try and save face there, but I think you FAILED!

But if they had went about it that way to begin with we would never have known their intention, but now we know what their intentions are. They are to curb information about GI Joe sites and to bee seen as the one and only Joe site.
I hope Hasbro gets real website with news and info.

I have been keeping my eyes on this thread the past few days and sat down today to catch up with what was going on. WOW!!! They really messed up over there at HISS tank. Everything everyone has said in this thread about communities sticking together is the way I feel too. I am proud of being a part of communities such as Joedios and the other joe sites I visit. But this is the only site I really post at because of the community. Through our art (yes I said art), I've felt I have grown to know many of you through our many different styles of picture taking. This is what really sets Joedios apart from other sites. Our community is not as big as HISSTANK, but we are more intimate with one another because of it. By them releasing statements like the ones General Scarlett has brought to our attention they come off as a big corporation who got greedy and tried to take advantage of the people who help make them a success to begin with. Now the big Corporation of the online Joe community got their PR guys running damage control. Me personally, I'll stick with the personal attention that a mom-and-pop site like Joe-dios offers. Maybe HissTank should consider changing their name to "ExtensiveEnterprises.com".

Maybe I just look at it differently.

I do think if you post on a message board, it shouldn't just be for pimping some other site.... not that anyone does that. I also think, at times, I've seen a lack of uniqueness in different Joe forums. Sometimes, redundant conversations, advertising, etc. In any case, fandom can be pretty silly. I'm not finding myself very worked up over this. Maybe it was a ahole move, but people have the right to run their sites the way they want.

Ho hum ho hum.
