Tony B owns both sites. Destro works for Tony B and Tony makes all the rules. I don't know specifically about being able to link to other sites on the message boards but all those other things you all have been talking about have happend many times on 2005 just like they happen on HT. I don't need to ask someone else as I have witnessed them myself. The only difference is when they happend on 2005 it never had a direct impact on you so you never bothered to notice or care but now that it's more directly effected you with GIJoe you have started to take notice, but its stilll not going to change anything.

I'm a new poster here but have been around the block a few times and I hate to burst bubbles but I don't think any of this is really hurting HT. First these methods and tactics you all are complaining about are the exact same ones they have been using for years on their Transformers site 2005 and it's one of the biggest Transformer sites on the net. Sponsors aren't going to care as long as they get traffic from their ads and most people don't care that much either. I haven't noticed any significant decline in traffic to HT since this all began. The only difference now is people go around posting things like over at  that "other site" instead of the actual name but it's not keeping people from running over their and checking their news, and I hate to break this to you but if you go over there regardless of if you post there or not you are contributing to their traffic. This stuff has been going on a long time and no one from Hasbro, to sponsors or readers have really cared all that much and in all honestly the result from where they stand seems to have paid off for them so I think sadly all this talk of boycotts and what have you is for not.
