Mike, if you *really* want it, I can supply you with that thread (and all 3 posts listed on it as of my typing)
Red and white once again! We've restored the classic look of JoeCanuck.
The Non-Hisstank website update and resources thread.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you run, or visit, another GI Joe based website, or website with GI Joe content, and you would like to alert the community to something there, feel free to use this thread to do so.
This is for non "Ground Breaking" topics, such as their content updates, site redesigns, newsletters, archive udpates, etc.
If what you are posting is "News", aka, something the fandom hasn't seen before, or it is "additional info" for an already ongoing topic here, you can still post new threads and/or respond to threads with external links.
This is for pimping, or referencing non-super-new content.
Why are we doing this? Because we don't want threads popping up every time another site updates with content either already here at Hisstank, or elsewhere in the fandom, just because that particular site decided to put it up. It clogs up the forum thread listing, and generally does nothing to build the community here. But, as a resource to the fans, you can scan this thread for something you may have missed, and see that other sites exist.
In fact, to further clarify our non-desire to restrict anything, and just make sure this community is strong, and threads are useful and relevant, I am going to do 2 things right now.
1. A "PIMP YOUR STUFF" thread. You can link to any site, related to G.I. Joe's, for any reason. Their non-news updates, their non-news content, their saying that they think the color red is awesome. Whatever you want.
Again, news and new-content based info, reviews by personal fans, are allowed to be referenced in their own threads already.
The Non-Hisstank website update and resources thread.
2. A Deals and Coupons thread, for stores other than sponsors. Sponsors are needed to keep larger websites running, look at any of the others and you will see that. But to counter act any "OMG they are restricting my freedomz!" type feelings, you can use that thread to find and discuss any deal from any store on the internet.
The Official G.I. Joe Deals and Coupons Thread
That keeps those things contained, so that there aren't 100 pimp my stuff threads clogging up the forum list, and regular Hisstankers, or lurkers, can have that resource.
If that doesn't quell any of this communist accusation BS, I dunno what will.
