I'll get off my soap box in a minute, but I really want to make this point:
This thread is the longest running information thread on the Tank. It's not a game or about another line of Toys - this is THE thread about Joe continuity. And if people have a question, and they really want to know all the details, the usually show up here and ask us. It's our thing - we're the continuity nerds of Hisstank. And to be fair, we're way better about it than Larry Hama ever thought about being.
So Hasbro does a terrible Job with continuity. I mean it's abismal. The file cards are a mess; they have no idea what they're doing with the comic - it's crazy.
It would cost them virtually nothing to come on here and get their stuff straight. We'd be happy and thrilled to help - but they don't.
But let me make another case for it:
If word got out on the whole Tank that Hasbro was working with "The File Card Brethren" - which would mean they were working directly with Hisstank - how much would morale improve? Tankers might take a new outlook/opinion of Hasbro. It would be in Hasbro's best interest to make use of us as a resource, and they don't. It's just stupid.
That's it. I'm off my soap box now. Thanks for listening.
You make a good and valid argument, but at the same time, I can see where they'd be hesitant to work publicly and directly with us. For one thing, even though this is one of the more active sites in the fandom, it's still just one site. While working with us would likely raise morale and respect for Hasbro across the Tank, it would also likely be frowned upon by other sites and fans as "favoritism" or some such.
