Some very cool and charismatic people become very popular here on the 'tank. But they have a hard time coloring in between the lines set forth by our mods. Finally the inevitable occurs and they are invited not to come back anymore.
So the very next thing they do is start their own site. Then they recruit even more very awesome, very charismatic guys from the 'tank. They start off splitting their attention with the two sites with every intention of remaining here. But eventually time becomes a constraint and one of the sites has to go.
Then they disappear too. It's like seeing one of your best friends move away. Eventually, after the initial contract expires, or the lack of new people constantly entering the site (via good advertising and connections) the new site runs its course and fades away.
Sometimes we are lucky and we get some of those awesome people back. Alot of times we don't.
VH, Bandy... I appreciate what you wish to do. I know I'm going to be out to sea alot over the coming months. So asking you to stay here as a friend to me would be a dis-service to you. But I hope that if you come to the point where it becomes too difficult to split your time between two families that you choose this one.
I like this website and its restrictions. It makes it possible for me to view at home with my boys without fear or at work when I get a moment to take a break. It's why I've remained so loyal through the years.
I really appreciate our mods and what they do, and the rest of the staff and how hard they work. But most importantly I appreciate the entire community here and how they come together to offer such a great experience. Where else do you have everything GI Joe in such easy reach. I thought I was the only Adult fan left before I found this website.
Sure there are a few folks that are a little obnoxious and I could live without. But I've found that someone will just fill their shoes. And the ones we have now really aren't that bad compared to some of the real terrors we've had in the past.
Building something from the ground up is alot of fun. But it takes alot of time and patience. Remember to enjoy the journey of building it and not rueing the fact that it isn't already built yet. That was a lesson that has taken me forever to learn, and one I often forget and have to relearn.
Okay, I'll put my soap-box away now and let you guys return to your GI Joe goodness.
Wow, NV I'm not leaving.
I came here from the Canadian GI Joe site which is Joecanuck.com and they are no where close to being like the Tank. It is a site where we are more polite and they strongly discourage SPAM. I love SPAM.
OG13.com is SPAM on steriods!
