First off, thank you everyone for your patience as we've moved to a new server. This should alleviate much of the problems we've been having in the past few months.
If you find anything broken, please let me know.
A few changes - first off, the Multimedia Archive is no more. Unfortunately, it took up over 80 MB of web space and we needed to cut back on the bandwidth. HOWEVER, if you want to host all these great icons, desktop pictures, images, fan art, music files, and sound clips on your own web site - please please Contact E..
Secondly, we've removed the editorials from the Magazine. Ack! I had no idea that my opinion on the removal of o-rings would generate so much controversy. I apologize if anyone was offended by what I had to say - but it was just my honest opinion. Either way, it's gone now - I'll just shut up now and keep my opinions to myself.
Next, we've moved to a new way of hosting Classified Ads - Toy-Ads.com. The old Classifieds are still hosted at Corey Stinson's smalljoes.com - but from here on out, our Classifieds link is Toy-Ads.com.
Just in case you haven't heard, the Magazine is no longer going to be a source for breaking G.I.Joe news. I just don't have time to keep it up-to-date with all the going ons in the G.I.Joe world - especially with the sheer volume of cool stuff happening.
If you're interested in G.I.Joe toy news, consider checking out one of the online communities, such as the G.I.Joe YahooGroup mailing list, G.I.Joe USENET newsgroup, or The Bivouac Message Board - or consider joining the Steel Brigade Club. For G.I.Joe comic book news, check out Quick Kick's Theatre.
We'll still be posting little tidbits here, but nothing huge.
Because of the server problems, I haven't updated the Archives in a while - and I apologize to the many people who've sent me great stuff. I'll get that stuff up online as soon as possible. In the meantime, thank you to James Maxx Casper, APWWrestling, Captain DC, Chris Seay, DW Gardner, Henrik Eriksson, James Gamble, JPR Alarcon, PredatorSWF, Sean Finley, Thad Moren, Val Reynolds, Zareiff, AC Young, Bob Hines, Charles Cushman, CybertronCity, Danilo De Melo, Dizrhan Mahadzir, Fadi Al-Mufti, Kenji Robson, Mike Livanos, Mike Taber, Patrick Stewart, Peter Eikenboom, Scott George, Spencer, Alex C, Anthony Schiavino, Justin Suarez, Brian Holst, Felix Ward, Felixdecobra, Jose Martinez Mesa, Outrider, Ted LeBlanc, Entertainment Earth, Graeme Pelzer, Thomas 'digger' Seal, the Bopper, Charles Costas, and many others!
So when's the next update? I'm not sure - we have some more behind-the-scenes stuff that we have to finish up and some neat stuff with the Yo Joe Store. Once that's done, next up on the plate is an update to the Collectibles Archive.
Again, I appreciate your patience through the matter. We're almost done rebuilding here - things'll be back to normal soon.
