    G.I. jOE forum “The Trenches”

    Hey everyone,

    Is the G.I. jOE forum the “The Trenches” a goner? Site hasn’t been up for awhile now.

    They had more technical issues months ago with the site, and Scott said they will be working on it to bring it back up, but I'm not sure we'll ever see it again.

      They are currently operating in a group on Facebook under the same name.
      As said the actual forum has been having recurring problems (I believe due to Go Daddy, the company hosting them).

        I miss The Trenches terribly, and I'm not on FB.

          Their facebook group is pretty slow. Hardly any posts.

            It's easy to take for granted how great a forum we have here but when you see how badly "The Trenches" struggles, it really illuminates how lucky we are we have this.

              I don't do the Facebook thing either.

              Maybe we can add a GiJoe section on here?

                  the forum was pretty much like that too. very little activity and hardly anyone ever on at any given time. really makes you appreciate what a special place MM is

                    My experience with the Trenches was very positive. Though it was not as trafficked as here, I met some great folks there, both generous and helpful.

                      Trenches was amazing, hope they come back. That said (and not to bash MM) but the activity in this place has taken a big nose dive the past few years too. Facebook sapped a lot of life out of forums in general.

                        no doubt, great bunch of people. I never had anything but positive experience over there. it was just very quiet. Charlotte and her husband do/did a great job moderating. I think the site kept getting hacked though.

                        again, makes you appreciate what a great job our mods here do to keep things fun and safe

                          if the trenches are gone for good, maybe it would be cool to add a sub forum here to discuss Joe's like was done for Big Jim. what say the Mods?

                            That's a good idea, as with Big Jim.

                              I'll see what I can do, Lord knows i loves me some Gee-Eye Joe.

                              As for the activity here, most forums are freaking ghost towns these days in niche collecting, we're above average and I'm very proud of the MM.
