Hey Tankers ,
It?s giveaway month for a lucky winner. I figured since forums in general have good days and bad, cesspools and rabbit holes, let?s aim some focus on some positives , especially here amongst the diehard fans. Complete side note but one to think about: although most of the bullying has subsided, this place isn?t moderated nearly as it should due to a few variables, but the one I want to point out is time/money. Not nearly enough of us support this site or Destro( which cost money to run) and end up using it as a place to vent at times, creating a swamp Rather than clear waters. The more supporters ( which cost very little) the more moderation this place can afford and keep negative opinions/ bullying off the boards, in turn keeping members from being bullied and reassuring new members this place rocks. Just something to think about. Back to the giveaway ! This is the best place for lore , updates and tankers views on what brings us together. So with that said , this giveaway is for all members even new ones and the rotten eggs. To enter Simply say I?m in and why you love the tank. That is all. We will be using random.org number generator for post. I?ll run this one for 1 week, ending it on Wednesday Oct 25th at 9:00pm est, Made it through that winded post? Right on. Here?s the prizes! Classfied firefly and a classfied Snow serpent both MIB ( and a note the fireflys I have gotten have no waste issues . Just fyi for the curious)

Awesome Slice!
I've loved the 'Tank since before I joined in 2008 and was just a lurker. Discovered it when the 25th released. Been part of my everyday routine and relaxation virtually every day since. Even if I had 50 pages in a thread to reason to catch up. The camaraderie, willingness of others to help out and discussion about my most favorite hobby, are what makes the Tank great and why I love it Last edited by CG23; 10-18-2023 at 12:29 PM.. |

I'm in! I love the tank for all the information and nostalgia fueled discussions and trips down memory lane. Been a collector since '82 with Breaker and the Ram being my first purchase and have been all in ever since. Yo Joe!

I'm in. And frankly, I love the Tank because despite all the shit and muck that we sometimes have to wade through, this site is one of the last and best bastions of Joe lovers around.

Great Idea. Rules 1, 3, 13, and 24 are broken regularly.

Im in, Hisstank.com is where I found my new Joe home when yojoe.com went under. In the end it's still the best place to buy, sell, or do trades because everyone has been very generous in their transactions.

Im in. I’ve enjoyed being here for over a decade. Sure theres lotsa complainers who do it just to be assbags, trolls with nothing better to do than live in their parents basements and harrass folk and yah ive taken some time from the tank for a while, but for all the negative theres more positive. Theres strong sense of community here too. Thres a wealth of information on on every aspect of gi joe, theres lotsa good folk here that not only share info about joes but where to find em, various info on places that cater to customizing and customizers, and a general love of the products we love.
Theres lotsa fun that can be had here and lotsa teasing and joking and general good natured ribbing. People here are passionate about the line, from favorite characters to favorite vehicles to playsets. There are many talented customizers who share not only their completed figures, from the most basic to the insanely detailed, but also tips and advice for burgeoning customizers getting into the hobby. Theres also a lotta generosity here amongst the members here that goes far and above from what ive seen in other places, both online and in real life. People here for the most part have a good sense community and camaraderie and positivity. Inclosing while yes, theres negativity it feels theres a lot more positive than negative i personally have made many friends here who make this place really great ( and comically unfortable. You know who you are haha.)

I'm in. I joined in 2008 when the 25th line was going strong. I used it as a reference point for the figures and often visited the Ohio sightings thread to help others out as well as see where the items were popping up for me.
I lost touch on here after the 25th line went away and occasionally would read it but was not as active as I was from 2008-2012. What brought me back was seeing if there was an interest in the Classified line. I enjoy reading the classified thread 2023 and have since taken an interest in collection the ReAction and Ultimates line from S7 because they focus on the cartoon from the 1980s and that is what got me into collecting GI Joes. I have backed the new Cobra Mothership and I hope other ARAH collectors will also. (shameless plug there).

I'm in. Despite the recent "troubles", I've always thought this was the most chill forum I've been a part of. Man, I did Theforce.net and another SW site back during the prequel days and you want to talk about some vitriole. This place is a calm sea under blue skies, and I enjoy reading the various positions of all y'all. Also, this is the best clearinghouse for upcoming Joe stuff.
