AdyCarter Posted August 16, 2006 Author Share Posted August 16, 2006 Its all a laugh isnt it.. We have mechanisms in place to catch news and no one has expectations of us to be first to news (although we quite often are ) an official forum has the problem that people expect stuff (and rightly so, after all they have been promising stuff). I've been in Brandon/Morph/Neos shoes and it isnt fun as for one reason or another news just doesnt flow freely over there. Like people have said if you want to argue with them, go there, if you want to talk mates/anything else do it here On a semi related note, we have something coming soon that is so awesome its beyond belief.. (well I think its awesome) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rad Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Even though the temptation is unbearable it's best if we avoid a bunfight between the two forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterPL Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Nice post, Reideen. And did I miss something or did Brandon's testicles finally drop? That was quite an anti-establishment outburst from him. Well done. I agree that if anyone has a problem with AA they should go there first. That said, I've been there and done that for YEARS as both a member and moderator. I got promises of a 4-inch Trek line that never happened. I got promises of free swag for volunteering as a mod and got squat. Not even a "thanks" from ANYONE at AA. They've made it perfectly clear they aren't listening or are unwilling to respond. News continues to get leaked out elsewhere first. Their online presence is embarrassing. They can't even successfully manage their own licensed properties let alone a message board. I don't think they should even bother with one. What's next? The reason that the DC 'mates are delayed was because AA employees were too busy working on getting the site and forums back up?

Their online presence is embarrassing. They can't even successfully manage their own licensed properties let alone a message board. I don't think they should even bother with one. That's exactly how I see the situation and maybe I haven't been around long enough to have seen this conversation yield nothing but I want to believe that AA is going to try to do it right this time.

JulesLuvsShinzon Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 ^^^Well that's what we're all trying to believe, and it looks like Brandon has the uphill task of getting them to deliver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Oh I got an invitation... ...about a week after it went up. "Thanks for all your volunteer work! Love, Digger & Company!" Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Now that this place is here, I'll continue to still check the AA forums "just in case"... but I'd rather post on here, anyway. They don't act like they give two hoots in hell. Sometimes it makes me wonder why I should even continue to support them, honestly... -M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 As far as I'm concerned, I joined the AA board because of the Trek figure line. I stayed for Minimates and the community I'd gotten to know. Because of places like this, I've no reason to go back. I'm not abandoning AA. They abandoned me.

JulesLuvsShinzon Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 ^^^I know some of us gave you guys a rough ride, but I have to say that I am staggered that the company let the old mod team go without so much as a "Thank You"! IMO, that's pretty bad manners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombieboyfiend Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 But it is ok for members to take info from the AA forum and repost here, correct? Like posting the pic of the new X-Men box set Minimates uploaded by Neo today. Where!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
