So... just to be clear to everyone, (because I seem to have inadvertently left a negative impression), when I say "this place is a dump", it was obviously to be meant in the same joking, spirit of good fun that I've always used when posting here. I was referring to the fact that there are very few posters or joe discussions between MA/RI members anymore, not implying that the thread is somehow full of unimportant assholes. Hopefully I didn't offend anyone and people know where I'm coming from.
Anybody who has ever met me knows that I have a pretty dry sense of humor. As most of the other veteran members can attest to, there is plenty of ball-busting that goes on here regularly between myself, Shadowninja, BEAM, Destro's Son, Mainframe, mike000, dgnr82, tragichabits, netkid, and others. We constantly tease and give each other hard times but we're all in it together, and bullying or animosity is never part of the picture.
Shadowninja specifically is one of my closest friends here and we always give each other crap. If I'm not busting him about power rangers, he's making fun of me for buying Micro Force. He knows I have his back and he's always been there for me. Anyone who thinks we are having serious arguments is seriously misinformed.
If I really didn't want to be here, I would have left Hisstank. The fact remains that even though the site has changed quite a bit in the past couple of years and many old members are gone, the home page is still a major hub for fast joe news and there are people that post in this thread whom I like that aren't on the BFNE facebook group, and I enjoy hearing from them.

That's a fair comment I suppose. Having said what I just said above regarding the 'dump' though, I hope you aren't referring to me. (If so, I would challenge you to give me examples of how I have done so).

...Jabs? Seriously? You need to chill, man. This isn't a war, it's pretty simple: There's a bunch of guys from New England on another website... all happily talking about Joes, collecting, customizing, displaying, sharing pictures, asking questions, etc (even with the retaliation line having ended). That used to be the case here a while back, but it appears to have dried up a bit. I figured people should know that they are welcome to join, but no one is forcing them to. Somehow this offended you but there are no hard feelings, for the record.
Regarding what I had said about the last meetup: There's no competition going on here. I love the small group meetups we've always had get together, and have even organized a few myself. There's no reason those shouldn't continue. The point is that BFNE had a surprisingly great turnout this fall for a little startup group. Love it or hate it, it seems to work. I could care less if people want to boycott it, I'm just being honest about the situation.

I respect that. As Shadowninja rightfully said, "To each his own". No one is twisting your arm to join. Just thought I'd extend the invite anyway. The irony is that even though I'm active on BFNE, I'm hardly active otherwise on facebook. I've always been pretty annoyed with the whole social media thing myself, so I understand your aversion to it.
...Now, all this talk of dumps has made me want to go grab a burrito from Chipotle.
