What a Certain Moderator thinks about his online community

An exclusive view to the seedy underbelly of G.I. Joe fandom. Here's a direct communication between Sonny Lion and someone else:

I'm really not supposed to let this info out unless you are part of the msn crew. Death At Midnite is working on his own Joe Foto site and it's gonna be run TIGHTER than there and he'll be more anal about stuff. It was originally to be a back-up for the JD when things failed, but we decided we need a slightly 'smart' crowd in there.

Too many people here don't understand the concept of 'hosting' nor do they understand how to 'resize' their stuff. The boss here once wanted me to post a "RESIZE YOUR SHOTS" because it sucks up space. This isn't a wallpaper site and 80% of the OVERSIZED shots suck in that, "why would we want to scroll around your image to see how fuzzy it is?"

Death has plans but with having 2 marriage ceremonies, I don't know where he's at with the site. It'll be open to all IF they can deal with the rules. The original rules, while funny, were very jagged. BUT he comes from a programmer/cgi background and let's face, not enough sites are strict enough about stuff. Websites aren't a democracy and if you don't like, it, leave. It's no skin off anybody's back and it's not hard to let go, y'know?

Anyway, I actually forget the NAME of the site. Could be GIJOEPHOTOGRAPHY or JoeDioramas.com. DOn't bother looking for it, it's not up yet. I've seen the tests and I'll be boss. Well, one of the two. Don't think for a second that the malfunctions HERE would last as long as there. Death is building his own server too so he'll have control.

Just FYI and I'd appreciate you not passing that around till things are in better working order. That's why I hint. I've seen a lot of good people here not be able to do their thing (posting fotos and etc). Death wants to fix that.

  2. So is this really why Graham stepped down? It sounds like they think everyone at dios is a moron, but they want to "help" them too, with this new site. Why are they being so secretive? Its not like its a bad thing for people to have options. Look at the different groups on flickr...same thing, just not with websites. GOONS!!!
