ATAC does rock! Network does noot. If you don't agree, obey the title and don't post! >:(

I like ATAC too! I think it's great finding missions for Frank and Joe and giving them gadgets and cool stuff like that. ;D I think it makes the series really good. :)

I like ATAC but I like Network just as much so I can't say anything.

I like them both, but I'd have to say I like ATAC a little bit more. The Network is so grim and ATAC has all the gadgets.
Title: Re: Calling All ATAC Fans!
Post by: SDLagent on August 08, 2008, 06:22:09 PM
I like the "grim" Network, the Network gives the Hardys a good reason to have cases overseas, but as was mentioned ATAC is almost always in the US. And with a lot of missions are actually right in Bayport, and with ''Hurricane Joe'' and others, the Hardys could have easily found that case themselves.

One thing I have noticed, in the Network V. ATAC battleground, we almost never talk about the Network. Its either people bashing ATAC or people going "ATAC Rules"

Listen I know I'm bracking a rule here, but I have to say this:
PLEASE READ THE CASEFILES IF YOU HAVEN'T BEFORE BECOMING A ATAC FAN!

If you have, and still like ATAC better, fine with me. As long as you have read some casefiles.

I am now leaving.

Title: Re: Calling All ATAC Fans!
Post by: Bigfootman on August 19, 2008, 09:51:14 AM
I don't want Frank and Joe to die, just the rest of ATAC, then they can go back to the Network.
Title: Re: Calling All ATAC Fans!

Are you serious, Tom? You want them to kill off Frank and Joe? Or just these poseurs claiming to be Frank and Joe? ;D ;)
Title: Re: Calling All ATAC Fans!
Post by: Bigfootman on August 19, 2008, 10:29:07 AM
Maybe the UB Frank and Joe are the casefile's Frank and Joe's evil twins created to make them look like dummies.

Just the "poseurs" claiming to be Frank and Joe.  And then bring back the Casefiles or the Digests Frank and Joe.

Bigfootman - Then I guess they cloned Gertrude into Trudy and the Gray Man in Q/QT ;) :D

Tom - Wouldn't you rather have them killed off in the HB:UB series? At least the GNs are better 8) But then, if they are killed in one series, are they "offed" in the other ???

Well, you can't really have the Graphics without the regular UB's.  So if they were killed off in the graphics then they would be killed off in the UB's.

ATAC Books are more action-packed!
Title: Re: Calling All ATAC Fans!
Post by: Bigfootman on August 29, 2008, 12:47:43 PM
No their not. Casefile books have more expolions and fighting UBs have a lot of talking.
Title: Re: Calling All ATAC Fans!
Post by: tomswift2002 on August 30, 2008, 07:36:42 AM
The UB's also tend to have a lot of "oh, lets go here to just fill up chapter space---it doesn't really have anything to do with the story, so lets just go!" garbage.
Title: Re: Calling All ATAC Fans!
Post by: 003Robin457 on September 04, 2008, 08:09:05 PM
The way I see it:
Okay today I was sitting in my room looking at the UBs. I looked over the spines of them and rembered all the stories and fun times I had reading them, then I coulden't help thinking of this War. I know there are more of you guys on this Forum and I know after This Means War 1 you guys concider your selfs the winers, but now I think of it differently. CF fans have nothing left to do but critize and make fun of the UBs, mean while UB fans get to still enjoy the books, still have some thing to look foreward too and still enjoy the HB world. So who is the real winner?
Title: Re: Calling All ATAC Fans!
Post by: Olivia on September 04, 2008, 08:14:32 PM
How do you know how long the UBs will last? Plus, there are way more books in every other HBs series and 100x more fans of those then these, so...

It could be a ticking time bomb.

But I guess I'm glad you have a series that you enjoy and look forward to. Although I hope you will look at the other HBs too (I don't know if you do).
Title: Re: Calling All ATAC Fans!
Post by: Q on September 05, 2008, 05:27:24 PM
You...ahem.. CF fans seem to think ATAC fans don't read other HB books. That's my two cents, now don't jump on me.
Title: Re: Calling All ATAC Fans!
Post by: tomswift2002 on September 05, 2008, 05:37:30 PM
I'm not jumping on you Q, but from what the majority of ATAC fans have said on MPF about how they have only read the UB's then it looks like they have only read the UB's.
Title: Re: Calling All ATAC Fans!
Post by: JoeHardyRocks on September 05, 2008, 05:40:44 PM
Well, i've read 2005 crossovers and 88 crossovers and originals and digests and I still like UB and ATAC better.
Title: Re: Calling All ATAC Fans!

Yet you still haven't read the casefiles. The super myisteriys are more like the Nancy Drew files.

And like I said you might like a new series even better. A Hardy World, that includes the best of all the past ones.

Opps, I forgot, Bad Chemistry and Aboulote Zero and Shock Jock are ok, becasuse if you read Ubs you are used to stories dragging on a bit.

Title: Re: Calling All ATAC Fans!
Post by: tomswift2002 on September 07, 2008, 01:10:38 PM
I've never heard of any libraries not doing it.  All you do is go to the front desk and ask if you can get some books in on interlibrary loan.  At my library they will then give you some papers to fill out usually asking for the title of the book, author, publisher, year published and if you are willing to pay a charge for the book.  (For the charge there is usually the option of Yes or No, so I always circle No and I've never had any trouble.)  My local library has a limit of 3 books per request, so don't expect to be able to get in you 12 or 13 books at once, since I believe most libraries have that limit for Interlibrary loan. 

Of course, once you return An Interlibrary loan book, then you can request another book by interlibrary loan.

I have read alot of ATAC books and some casefiles, I think the ATAC ones are best and well, if you want to post how you hate ATAC in a ATAC fans page, well your just being stupid. Why don't you start your "I hate ATAC" page elsewhere and we can fight on this, I mean I don't mean to be an interloper but if you hate ATAC talk about it another string of posts, because people who want to discuss ATAC are on here!!!!!!

It doesn't mess up contunity.
First even though DO was printed after OS never said DO was after #7.
Secondly, even if DO is after OS, Danger Overseas says The Hardys knew who Nancy was before they meant.

You are forgetting that Danger Overseas was #2 in the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys Super Mystery'07 series, whereas it should be Terror On Tour that you would have to be talking about.  But, even in that book the Hardy's and Nancy Drew are just meeting and Frank and Joe have no idea who Nancy, Bess, George and Ned are. 

The only thing that that mention in Operation: Survival could refer to is the fact that the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew had met prior to the events of the game Last Train To Blue Moon Canyon from the Nancy Drew computer game series, since in that game Nancy knew about ATAC and both her and the Hardy's knew each other.

Title: Re: Calling All ATAC Fans!
Post by: Olivia on September 30, 2008, 10:42:44 PM
Mmm. Depends on the specific book I think for guys in general.

Some may not be so secure about reading the series, but I think it's fine. Obviously, though, some books or some elements are focused towards females.

I know in one of the older series it kept saying stuff like this in every book:

"Nancy brushed her titanium-coloured hair until it shined".

"Nancy put on a blue sweater that brought out her very blue eyes".

I think Nancy drew was created to make it so girls had their version of a detective series as good as the Hardy Boys.

Right?

I've read non-fiction about ND, but at this point I can't recall. Obviously it did come after the HBs, so probably something like you said. Sound either the most plausible or just familiar.

So it probably is the girls version, I donno, I have not read nancy drew... I wouldn't be caught dead with one...

I seem to recall that in Leslie McFarlane's autiobiography he mentioned that the Dana Girls had been created to be the feminine version of the Hardy Boys.

You should read Nancy Drews, they're really good.

It's funny, girls can read Hardy Boys, and it seems perfectly normal, but when boys read Nancy Drew, it seems a little weird. Not that you still shouldn't read them.

Unfortunately, it's a lot of times seen the way Negative Zone is talking about.

But I think if someone is secure enough, they could read ND. Not like you have to shout it from the rooftops or anything. There's a lot more worse "girl" books out there from a guy to read.

Anyways, the ND Originals are booooorrrrrrrring IMO. Not all of them, though. They focus a lot less on pointing out the "girl" factor (except for Bess sometimes). I think. But it's more about clues than action.

Also, the Girl Detective books have had less of the "girl" factor overall until lately.

But back to the thing we were talking about before. I don't think Nancy Drew was necessarily the Hardy Boys version for girls, but I think it was a companion piece somehow.

Some of the Files (emphasis on some) are definitely very, very female-ish (sorry, didn't know how else to phrase that).

But most of the other ND series are more "safe" I think. Although a lot of the Files are okay too.

Would a third gender be, uh, those born as both or something? Okay, maybe I don't want to get into this.

For your term of gay, how do you refer to it. Is it something that is wrong? Or would it be one man liking another?

If it is the second one, then people could be offended, though I would vote to outlaw gayness, I do not hate someone for being gay. It's just there life choice. Though I would rather them be straight.

Now we are of topic officially... Just call this thread OFFICIAL THREAD OFF TOPIC!!

SDLAGENT, just wondering, if I don't edit my posts enough, I find it that I try to but sometimes you just want to get your message out, and maybe its when its a smaller post you find all the errors. But, when you type for an hour, on a few posts, your bound to miss some keys.

Though I think we all try to, I don't know if you were refering to me when you were talking about some other users, though I give every effort to read through sometimes. Not always of course, some of my posts I just want to make it fasts.... I thought this was called, "Calling all Atac fans"

Is that still the title cause' I donno, if it works, we are now at SPELLCHECK R' US!
