No offence, but that is nothing more than Jamar in spamming mode...

Hey thanks Jaye, nice bucket of water on the spark there.

jamarmiller · Post by **jamarmiller** » 06 Jun 2007 22:52

actually if you would check them out there is actually a lot of discussion on them above among other places too on this project

what is sad is, there is so much more activity on other boards ( NON AF ) than here, I would think the board members would be talking about this more but its the non fans the NEW fans that are talking about it

The Baron · Post by **The Baron** » 06 Jun 2007 23:30

Yep this place has to rank as one of the lowest interested, with the exception of Phen0type which I suspect may well have been evacuated. Buck up, people! What's your favourite colour?

Flint · Post by **Flint** » 07 Jun 2007 00:53

Well I'm enjoying the heck out of this !! (the colouring)
I've posted such at some of the afore mentioned boards.
I don't post alot over here but I lurk.
Love the comics, it's a whole world of GI JOE that I never knew existed.

I was just teasing a little! Jamar is doing a great job!

The stories done so far are late Action Force stories. You might call them GI Joe stories, as all characters are coming from the GI Joe universe. GI Joe has more fans than Action Force, so that explains why the volume of discussion happens on other boards.

Why is there less discussion among the Action Force community? For Action Force fans the "ooooh" en "aaaaah" factor is less, because most of us have read the stories in b&w as a kid. For most GI Joe fans these stories were never seen before. To them it is as if a whole new universe in being uncovered. Secondly, this forum hardly ever talks Duke, Scarlett or Destro, but rather Skip, Quickfire and Red Jackall. This might also explain why there is not much conversation going on among the Action Force adepts.

Personally, I think it was a very wise decision to start with late Action Force stories, because it appeals to a wider audience. Then hopefully later, when older stories are being coloured, the audience will embrace the good old teams of

Too busy with work, my mother recently passed away and Jamar thinks I am a pain in the butt (that's a joke dude), but hopefully I can rejoin the project soon.

The Baron · Post by **The Baron** » 07 Jun 2007 13:34

Lady Jaye, sorry to hear of your troubles, my condolences, not an easy time.

Nevertheless, your analysis is smack on the button as usual.

Given the high quality of recent colouring, this is all getting very, very interesting.
