Baron,
I didn't continue the fight there, as I rarely even post there. Too many there think they are the gods of GI Joe or something. It normally goes bad if you prove one wrong about something. I'm sorry that happened, but it really doesn't do anything coming from me. The crazy thing is that you are totally right and it should reflect Action Force on those figures, but again they think they are the only ones. YoJoe is much like HISStank, though. Only other Joe board I visit is Joecustoms, as they are more down to earth. Much like here IMO. Anyway, sorry to hear that it when that far there. I only use there archives and now that they have their updates going into the forum, I have to visit :roll:.

Anyway, you guys are the best, so this is like my second home :-D. I think I have posted here just as much as I post on Star Wars forums and that is saying a lot from me ;-) on how much I like it here.

Getting back on topic, other than trying to figure out what fuzzchile was trying to say :-P, but I would have to say that last part on Ironblood being protective of himself and values his own genius, I like. That way you could add in there the military/combat history to him.

I also like Baron's way of explaining it too, with the distaste for violence or when it's viewed necessary.

Oh I agree 100% Baron. Neither is better, its all about what each individual prefers. Thats why I like the idea of a full Backstory for Ironblood, If it clashes with my Ideal of the character I can personally change a part here and their but still keep 99% of the agreed on story.

There is no way to combine Joe and AF it has to be combined person by person as they see fit. I love the Z Force and SAS and I add them to my Joe universe without problems. I mean therse plenty of room for the hundreds of Orginizations in the PaliBro verse. I just think that getting origins for characters helps everyone get more of a foothold on the character thats why I'm all gung Ho for a backstory


Post Script, I also agree with the Baron, Dolphin should have been labeled V3. It doesnt require a complete rewrite of there archives as its still a Convention figure. It should be done just to show where the character comes from and what changes he has gone threw in these 30 years. All they would have to do is put in a Webmasters note like they have in the NF Action Man's archive.

Wow, what a pack of wankers. Glad I don't go over there too often.

Anywho, I think Fuzzy has a good point, re the Baron's cowardly streak. Its all about preservation.

That is the nail on the head right there. That is how I feel. Plus you have to do that within the Joe world anyway, or that is how it seems with all the conflicting stories.

With all this renew on IB, I need to go back and put some of this stuff in my story. I also look forward to what everyone has to offer on him. I should be able to post something, soon if you guys want to see the direction I'm going, but I want to get a little more typed up before.

I don't think I could have said it any better Chopper ;-). That is just how I feel with the whole thing. Too bad there wasn't another archive that was as good as theirs. I have always wanted to see the internations archive added too, but it seems like they don't bother with it there other than what they already have. Tell you the truth is I like the way JoeIndex does their archive, as it gives you all the version with pictures. Only problem is it's not complete and many of the pictures are broken.

Thank you everybody, I'm pretty pissed about the whole thing, but as the site representative I really have learned to bite my tongue.

I hate to drag us off-topic, and as this only looks likely to escalate I have started up a fresh thread here.

Please can we move all relevant conversation there?
