>>10207636>Names of them?i honestly couldn't name them, because that's like 3 or 4 computers ago. I doubt my AOL account even exists anymore so i can't look at my Favorite Places lists if i could revive it.
And yeah, a ton of places were fluff, but they had scans and message boards, populated by dozens and even hundreds of people. This was when it was rare to get anyone to host images, so fansites became places to find any sort of images.
If i told you i used to visit Ugolino and Filex De Cobray, does that mean anything to you? Or Ring of Collectors, which got taken down and hte fanbase created Points of Articulation? They were a better source of info than yojoe and i never really used HISStank until /toy/ brought them up in 2008, because they didn't exist when i got back into GI Joes. By 2006 or 2005, most of the old internet was already getting absorbed and shut down.
>What anons are noting is the fact that their was very little shared of how the sausage was made with the G.I.Joe brand after ARAHLike that other anon said, there aren't tubro autists for GI Joe like there are for other stuff. Few people even seem to know simple trivia like Larry Hama being used as a model for Tunnel Rat or that Marvel created the 80s GI Joe (and animated it).
Why? Because they generally don't care or want to know. Most GI Joe fans grew up, had kids, and the oldest of us 80s fans are becoming grandparents. Not a lot of sperges who'll hunt down the still alive producers and directors who made the 80s, 90s, and 00s cartoons.
No one does this, because who even cares? Since Marvel Production also made the Transformers cartoons, instead the same producers, directors, writers, etc are asked about Transformers or Muppet Babies
Actual dedicated fans, who made their own websites in the 90s and 00s mostly disappeared. Today, who even talks about GI Joe lore? I can still find websites for dragonlance and even youtubers who'll get interviews for Dragonlance, but for GI Joe? forums at best
