I posted here out of how cool some of the members are and to learn more about ya all.I never wanted to,just talk about GTG,the reason i do is out of pure enjoyment of the projects,and i really thought alot of what we are trying to do at GTG and in the community would show we are not just trying to pad our own pockets.If i knew it was a rule not to post a raffle or a contest here i would nt have done it...Am i mad you locked the thread...,nope.Its just a shame the one thing i have been trying to do with all borads is get members involved in our projects,to make cool toys they would have wanted or still would like to have,guess thats my downfall,trying to do some good,its viewed mainly as just pimping GTG,not the case and not my intentions at all.Was i trying to pimp the raffle,yes and give thesame chance to all in the COMMUNITY not just GTG,i was trying to target us as collectors and us as people who like the hobby and spend alot of time on the boards saying what we do and dont like about hasbro,,this part make s no sense people come around ask for peoples opinions and carry them out too,and they are still viewed as trying to pimp a buisness.GTG is a buisness,but is it one i make a ton of money,nope,i cover all my costs,the raffle was taking out of what i was going to donate to a charity,like i said i thought i would dump some money back into the hobby and into somebodys hand to have maybe just a lil merryer of christmas or a new year.
Mike I have no bones about the lock,i only question is GTG worth keeping alive and trying so hard if we only get flak on the joe boards.This board is a really cool board as well,and there are alot of members who post here and JC and every where else too,I put the raffle post at sites that I am active at,and being that i wanted to get active here,and being that members said that there is not alot going on,i thought maybe i could help change that,and make it so there would be more going on,and some exclusive stuff to this board,I never want to see GTG in stores like walmart or toys r us,i want to keep it where it belongs right here on the net where there is an equal chance for everybody,and cut down on the disappointment when you walk into a toy store and they have nothing... I hate that feeling,you finally get the day off,you have some money in your pocket and you have the whole day,you go hunting and come up empty at the end of the day,and with hasbro not giving anything to us now,i thought it would be a way of keeping things alive.
Guess you cant please everybody....I am sure this post will get locked as well for talking about GTG,but its cool and only fair,just wanted all to know,I am not only talking about GTG to create more sales,I am talking about GTG cuz thats whats taking up all my time,I will keep the gtg stuff to my forums from now on,I dont want to cause waves,first it just makes for drama and second it just kills my drive.
Mike i wanted to post here for veryone to read my thoughts,I have respect for you and understand the locks,just wanted my feelings heard.
Thanks
