Blood for the Baron!

This place gets more abandoned every day. Two years ago it was already quite quiet, but nowaday hardly any people pass by. Even the regulars are hardly ever seen anymore.

In an effort to revive the discussion we had a Muton travels the World thing going on, but that came to a halt somewhere in England. A pity, since that was a lot of fun.

Reviving the forum, I wish you good luck. Frankly, I can not be bothered anymore. I just visit every once in a while, but that's it.

The website itself can be found at: http://www.bloodforthebaron.com/afonline/home.html

Yeah the place does need a hefty boot up the arse. It's still kinda buggy though, I suspect many people are having problems logging in still, I know there are days when I can't post.

Steve's moving house and is very busy at the moment and there's not alot we can do without him really. But yes, if we can concentrate on getting the site back up to speed then a mailshot is the next step. I miss Seaneley's rabid enthusiasm.

I like the ideas of team skins and I'm sure there used to be a link to AFOnline up the top there, the site itself is still lacking in the Cobra era. I personally would like to see scans of all the sticker sheets but I'm not a MIB collector. I don't like the capital letters disclaimers jammed onto the index page.

The Travelling Muton was great and it did bring the place to life, the last I heard was that he'd been found and was resuming his mission of destruction, we'll just have to wait and see.

The other option is to abandon it and start over, which I am loathe to do.

Another missed opportunity was the recent Red Shadow comic. I know next to nothing about it and would like to know more. Obviously I couldn't host scans of an existing publication but there must be room somewhere on this site for a feature, even if we all just moan about it being inaccurate.

And the lack of PM is a pain!

I log in most days but find very little new chat.

One idea could be to widen the scope abit may be some (dare I say it) GI Joe chat. It could convert some of the Shadow skeptics out there that the DDP Shadows were not true Shadows.

Great idea, it seems that DDP have actually blackened the Shadows name amongst the Joe community. It would be good to set the record straight, and also petition new comics!

ive just been lazy all around, unfortunatley. need to work on that

im still working on the Shads army. with 2 figs, i may be complete.

Happy New Year Action Force supporters.

I thought I'd contribute to getting some discussion going in an attempt to get the site busy for a bit. Since my forte is customising and the like, I've done updates to the classic figures (I've got Q Force and Z Force so far). So nip on over to the Creativity Forum and have your say. What would be the best parts from GJ Joe to make your favourite figure? Would you stay faithful to the originals or personalise them? How much influence would their portrayal in BAF have on your choice? Take a look and let discussion commence!

How about a general discusion topic it works on other sites.

It would give members a chance to air opinions on other subjects.
