What I’m going to say will probably get me banned, but I’ve been really disgusted with this site. Some of you really have some big ones. Problem is you either don’t realize you’re doing this or you just don’t care. I find it really sad that after posting this all of the sudden I was Mister Popular. .

Uhm, I don't remember
you being that popular. This
THREAD was popular. Hey, give something rare or expensive away, people are gonna be interested. FACT of life...GROW up. And yes, at first I said I Wanted them, but then I thought of my friends. Sorry...I didn't know looking out for my friends was being "disgusting" maybe if you helped out a few people or looked out for someone's intrest instead of being all "BOO HOO!" becuase no one payed attention to your photo, maybe people would pay more attention to you! I've had a few pictures I worked my ass of making that people barely commented on. I just suck it up and post more and try to get better!

Yet the ones who get all the praise and gratitude seems to be the same people i.e. Ender, Outrider, Lordraven, Stormer, Toneguns…The list goes on. As far as I’m concerned you guys are moderators just with out the title. You’ve all developed your own little clique. Judging by the replies on this post you all pretty much look out for either yourselves or each other. I remember a couple posts on this site that refers to us as family and friends…. Not really the case here. A good example is wishing Happy Birthday to members. Is it really that hard to list everyone’s Birthday for the month? No it only took me a few minutes out of my time to wish everyone Happy Birthday. People it’s the little things in life that go a long way.

WRONG! This is not a "Happy Birthday" site, nor is it MySpace where you get 10,000 friends. If you spent more time contributing "joe" stuff and quit worrying about being liked or watched out for, maybe someone would pay attention! Do I look out for my fellow Joe Fans? Yes! And they look out for me. I have NEVER turned anyone down for ANYTHING! Ask. Ask anyone who asked me for anything! I have given stuff for free.....not because I need friends, but because there are people out there who aren't as financially as well off as I am ,and they, too LOVE GI Joe! I work my ass off here with reviews, tutorials and dios.....how much have you contributed? I made friends with Outrider and Sonneilon because they encouraged me and asked me for NOTHING! Things that go a long way is CONTRIBUTING and encouraging. I could have said a lot of bad things about a lot of crappy pics, but if I don't have anything good to say, I DON'T SAY IT! Why? Because of "nobody likes me" crybabies like you! God forbid I offend someone who bases the worth of his life on his "popularity" on a site where full grown men post pictures of toys!

There are countless ways we can help each other on this site and get that Family feel we claim we have here. However some of us get blown off because we don’t fit into the clique. Yet it’s these same clique members throwing their hands up saying “give it to me”

When have I never returned a PM? When have I ever said anything bad about a pic? I may have gave a little corrective criticism, but only maybe once have I trashed a pic, and you KNOW that pic had to have issues! So, what? You post a pic or two and we're supposed to praise you and exhault you? When did you EVER TRY to fit into the clique? There is no clique....only those who participate and those who sit it out and whine that they aren't popular! It does have a family feel here. Just because you choose to be the quiet cousin in the corner and not participate doesn't mean you're not part of the family. It just means you just CHOOSE not to make yourself noticed! So don't blame us because we're active and you CHOOSE to sit in a corner and stew because you're not the center of attention!
I don't mind getting crap flung at me, I'm a big boy and I can take it as well as dish it out, but how dare you throw mud at Outrider, Lordraven, Stormer, Toneguns. How about doing what they do, and if you have a problem with someone, act like a gentlemen and an adult and confront them in PM's, not hide in the corner feeling sorry for yourself and then come out blasting the ones who put out here?? And if they don't PM you back, do what I do....say "F*** em, if they're too good, I don't need them!"
I may get banned for this, but this is a CHEAP LOW blow by someone childish.

And I'm making sure I offer it to everyone so the ones who speak up the most and don't hide in the shadows like me, I can sling mud at!

So when I stood up for myself I ended up with a lot of bad publicity towards my site, suspended from another and banned from another. Funny part on that was later on he was caught bid shilling on Ebay. Yet he’s still a respected member of the Joe community… go figure.
Jay I hate to say it, but you almost had it. The problem was the comment about Karma. Dude you don’t decide when you deserve Karma it decides when you deserve it. Giving up seats on the bus and subway to elderly people and pregnant women that’s called being a gentleman.

Go figure! You ended up screwed when you tried to make your own, "Join me and be my friend site". Did you ever think maybe you are just socially inept and most of it is because you're blaming it on everyone else?

Congratulations Gentleman you’ve all proven to be great assets to this site. IM me on yahoo so we can discuss who gets what.

The only thing I can agree on. Congrads you guys. You guys are swell, and deserve it (no sarcasm intended) BT did make a good choice on who to give the stuff to.

Then why stay? IF you're so much more superior......LEAVE!!!!
Admins.....If you wanna ban me for my reply, all I can say is, it was well worth it to defend my fellow Joe fans and friends I have made on this site!
