Periodicly I will add items here that have changed, or stuff that I think most people will be interested in knowing about the forums.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

1) How to Draw forum is now open
2) Summaries of 3-D #1-5 is up in 3-D section
3) First look of Cobra Reborn links under Reloaded section (also see main site)


Also, please use this section to suggest items of interest or change for the site.

On a related note, Big Ben has reported some difficulty logging in, has anyone had this problem?

Alright, update time.

1.) The Nam section added to the OT section. Gotta love that old Marvel series.

2.) SPOILERS for Cobra Reborn. I recieved the ashcan preview and have put up some spoilers based on the four pages of art and dialogue that is there.

3.) Also, I corrected some code that was in error so logging in and out should work now.

AND NOW THE BIG ONE

4.) I have added The PX. This is a place for people to unload comics, look for comics, and give feedback on deals that are done. READ THE INTIAL POST FIRST! Thanks to Brian Peterson of SGTSAVAGE.com for the rules and regulations.

Bottom line, you enter all deals on your own and exit all deals on your own.

Alright, there you go.

Site's looking awesome, Phil, I really like the new changes. (The intro and everything is great!) It's easy to navigate, which is a plus, I really have zero sense of direction. I could get lost in a broom closet.

Great job!

P.S. Sorry if this is in the wrong place, I have to leave work in a couple of minutes, so I didn't get to look around the forums much today.

Alright, updates on the forums.

1.) Foreign Language section added to the Marvel Section.

2.) GI Joe Trading Cards section added in the OT Section.

Also you may have noticed that Hawk has replaced Duke at the top of the boards. hehehe it is good to be king

There are tons of new avatars in the gallary now, so I am sure you can find one you like. Also, coming soon....like tonight...there will be one last change for the month (I would be willing to say, "the year", but I can't promise that one) and trust me....this one is going to HUGE!!!!

Hey for all us non military can you put up the ranking system, and new symbols for all to see, somewhere on the site. Not like you don't already have enough to do

I do like my two stars.

You ask...I deliver.

Ok, Here is the breakdown:
Rank on the left, minimum post count on the right. There was a ryme and reason to some of the numbering, but after a certain point...I just started rounding off. There is also a special rank after the last one....but you will have to get there to find out what it is

PV1 0 - No image (cause they don't wear any rank)
PV2 10 -
PFC 18 -
SPC 24 -
CPL 36 -
SGT 48 -
SSG 60 -
SFC 72 -
MSG 84 -
1SG 96 -
SGM 108 -
CSM 120 -
2LT 132 -
1LT 144 -
CPT 156 -
MAJ 168 -
LTC 180 -
COL 200 -
BG 220 -
MG 240 -
LTG 260 -
GEN 280 -
General of the Army 300 -
Chief of the Joint Staff 400 -
Assistant SecDef 500 -
Secretary of Defense 600 -
Vice President 700 -
Commander in Chief 1000 -

All the ranks up to General of the Army are the actualy ranks a person would wear in the Army. After that, the symbols I used are the insignia that officers wear when they are serving as the aides to those positions. (Except Assistant SecDef, apparently he doesn't get a military aide).

If you got questions, ask away.

No Warrant Officers?


...and I sure hope that special rank has nothing to do with the UN

I debated about Warrents, but since they are the "Specialists" of their fields, I didn't really feel that they fit in my rank structure here.

No...no UN involvement....but we will just have to wait until someone gets there

Hey all. I just wanted to let y'all know of a couple changes.

First, from now on, only members can post here at the forums. This decision was made by me with the approval of the other mods due to many "guests" posting and the fact that this past month we had over 400,000 hits on the site. I want to avoid us getting spamed and this is one way of doing it.

Also, if you log in and don't see the Creator's Corner...don't panic. It is still there, but only registered members can see it. Kind of a reward for being a member.

If you have any issues or concerns feel free to e-mail or PM me.

Thanks,

Phil

good ideas Phil -- it'll help members remember to log-in too!

You leave home for a few days and look what happens.

Hiya guys, good to see ya'll back again. Phil I like the new look. The last time I tried visitng unsuccessfully was when the site was down (or was it hacked) for a few days. But I am back and catching on my Joe collection once again now.

This one got by me...

The rank you are thinking about is the "General of the Army" that is the 5-Star rank. It has not been used since WW2.
