wow another one. Hasbro must not care too much about Third party anymore since they didn't care at Botcon. hmmm.. maybe this whole anti-third party thing was all Aaron Archer. I heard many designers at Hasbro has third party items in their personal collection. I wonder if this will change the anti-third party attitude on this site as well.
We can only hope, but neither Genesis nor Quake Wave are front paged yet.
I don't think Ryan's decision had anything to do with Has/Tak. I think he just sees it as being something separate from official Transformers and wants the site to reflect official Transformers news and info on the front page. I'm inclined to agree with him, and having the front page reserved for official product news, it makes it much easier for me to follow that stuff, then, once I'm done checking out all of that, I just come here and get caught up on the 3rd party stuff I'm interested in. I like it the way it is now, so I hope that doesn't change. The constant bombardment of 3rd party stuff on the front page was just too much and made things (official or otherwise) way too hard to keep track of/keep up with since the front page can only contain so much news and if you try to view more news, it shows the entire news posts, pictures and all, which made it a tedious task at best to try and get caught up.
Now, the front page shows the latest Has/Tak stuff, so I skim the list and open the page to any product/news I'm interested in in a new tab, read up on it, comment on it if I see the need, then once I'm done with that, I come here, check out the list of new threads/new responses, then do the same as I did on the front page. It's way more convenient (to me at least) this way.
