An old girlfriend of C.I.A.D.'s once told me he whipped out a similar list while laying down the ground rules for their relationship. Only he added "No giggling when the pants come off."

I've never heard that, and I've been to, like, seven orgies.

HissTank Members,
I wanted to share this post here, on the board, because I feel enough is enough. ----- There are some (not all, but some), who don't treat this obession of ours as a hobby. Some of you feel the need to belittle others. Some of you feel a sense of entitlement. Some of you feel the need to question others Selling/buying practices. When is enough enough? Do "you" know how "you" are viewed on other boards? Not that it matters, because people are going to have opinions regardless, but a few of you do nothing to help the cause. It's a sad day though when even the most laid back people say "the drama on the Tank is too much for me to swallow". I think you're all a bunch of great guys. As such, here are a few thoughts that I think would benefit all involved: #1 Toys are toys. They are not essential to every day life. If someone 2,000 miles away found something that you didn't, rather than call them a "horder" or "scalper", why not be happy that a fellow board member found something? Who knows, maybe you'll get lucky and find them too. #2 People can charge what they want for items that they sell. The best way to show people you don't appreciate their pricing is to avoid their sale. Chiming in with "Oh no! How dare you charge more than retail on something I don't yet own!?!"...really, it doesn't help anyone. No one is going say "well, so and so seems angry, let me drop my price". It just won't happen. Why? Because supply/demand has been around longer than any of us. It will be around longer after all of us. #3 If you don't like the way a staff member is doing something (for instance, me posting this thread), don't feel like you're going to be an unsung hero by being disrespectful on the forums. You can express your point of view without letting "nerd anger" get the best of you. This goes for everyone, myself included. #4 With all due respect, does the fact that we collect something intended for children mean we have to act like children as well? People do so much complaining, but never seem to offer a resolution to their issue...just keep piling poop on poop. #5 I don't want to hear that "whining is just part of the internet". No, it's not. I'm a member of many different boards and feel that the only reason the "anger" is so rampant here is because we have so many members. A few of you may or may not know it, but you're ruining the fun for all of those around you. I hope that starting today, moving forward, we can all keep our rants in check and maybe contribute rather than cause conflict. Perhaps we can have discussions that express all points of views rather than flamefests that get locked down. This thread can go on and on...but that wasn't it's intent. My friends, it's time to either piss or get off of the pot. If a hobby gives you so much displeasure, then it's not a hobby. Sure, it gets frustrating...but don't let it get the best of you. At the end of the day, they're only toys. If anyone feels differently, please, PM me or post here. I want to know how you guys feel on this topic. If you choose to repsond here...please be adult about it. If you feel the need to go Ape s**t, please PM me instead. Thanks for reading. - Erick aka C.I.A.D.

I agree im newish here and it all seems pleasant to me and people ive met an talked to on here have all been nice and respectful no one has argued or said anything wrong to me as i hope ive been the same respect is a mutual thing and your right about people having difference of opinion i dont think we should be afraid to voice our opinions and we shouldn't get bashed for saying it either and of course it works the other way round too.I joined hisstank to be able to talk about things related with Gijoe ,action figures and geeky stuff in general and that's what im gonna carry on doing.I haven't really noticed alot of bitching and the site seems pleasant.
