....you know.. I'm pretty new here... but why on earth would I participate in this with such a horrendously entitled attitude by the person who runs it?

Hey Push You Down, thanks for making it personal.

Anyways, a lot of posts which said some stuff are gone now. Really, I don't care if people didn't participate with Weekend Warriors, but members here have quit participating in a number of ways you wouldn't notice unless you've been here for at least a year. I'm just using Weekend Warriors to draw attention to the growing amount of problems here, some of which are exemplified in the way you don't see new folks paying attention to stuff like this when I'm not making a big stink about it.

Push You Down, lets keep this more constructive and less personal.

I was going to participate this weekend but as I was readying some pics when JoeDios server crashed. :rolleyes:

I know you're new here, too, so take it easy and try not to take things personal. Nekoman was trying to develop some community here and he got frustrated at the lack of participation in a tradition here. He and I also are frustrated with people just using Joedios to post poorly constructed shots and not becoming part of the community. Weekend Warriors is a great way to have some fun and get to know other members. It also shows that you're not just using the site to host your pics.

Ok, after reading the thread and thinking about this for a bit... Nekoman, starting in June, I'll resume control of WW if you dont mind... I ran it for quite sometime last year and loved doing it and things in my life are settling down to were I can handle it easily.

Hammer, if you don't mind, I will take you up on that offer.

To everyone else... give me your opinions on WW... I know my own issue with WW is looking thru the posts. Its hard to find them all since some post them in ARAH and some post them in PHOTOS.

I can almost see how you might take the first post as insulting except what you really fail to see that the post was obviously not out of spite but instead frustration at watching something he rather enjoys fall apart. To his credit Neko’s been doing a hell of a job keeping this community alive with his go-getter attitude and by helming WW, a job no one asked him to do. And maybe that’s his own fault for caring too much but I can’t see anyone holding that against him.
Your perception of this site is still contingent on a handful of yes-men when in reality you should pay a little more attention to those with the balls to actually bring things like this to attention. If you really want to be proactive then you’re going to have to listen to all the voices and not the just positive ones. At present, acknowledging the situation too late and then trying to do damage control isn’t working anymore now than it was a year ago.
There’s always been potential for greatness with this place but at present it is, like the rest of the Joe community, in a bit of a lull.
As for putting Weekend Warriors on the front page… It’s already a mess. Way too much going on. You could put a porn banner on that wreck and not even Agent Diaper would be able to find it. Speaking of whom…


Only an insufferable tool like you would hit quote and type “word” as though the single colloquialism somehow made the thoughts your own. Think. For. Yourself.
Oh, and the only thing legendary about you is the bs concerning your previous five accounts and how they kept having to ban you cause you wouldn’t stop begging for free toys.

Maybe people could post a link to their shot in the WW thread for easy reference.

Thats actually not a bad idea at all.

On another note... Prince Adam, I'm not sure where your problem is with Agent Viper, but bashing him isn't a very mature solution. As far as I can see, he hasn't done anything terribly wrong and aside from the act of begging for free toys being slightly annoying (which I have yet to see him do), its not against the law nor does it call for being rude to him in plain view of everyone else.

I do agree that Nekoman is doing a hell of a job and by no means am I saying he isn't, but everyone needs a vacation sooner or later, and I'm just offering to take WW for awhile to give Neko a break.

I don't post much these days because I'm lacking enthusiasm in GI JOE these days (I've bought one new GI Joe figure in the past 6 months). That and lack of talent/ideas.
