Hey guys, some of you know me, Maksim, Dafrca, nealhunt. I have posted over here before but I only come by occasionally, it looks like that could change tho with the changes over at specialist games forums. I really feel we're getting the boot for the most part.
I have been worried about Fanatic for a long time, and now this change just looks to be another in a line of downhill support.
I hope you guys wont mind some refugees heading this way. Grimshawl

Belated welcome Grim.
Much as I hope your pessimism on SG is not justfiied, all too often it is.....
:(
Cheers

James

Well, after reading all that I'm now even more convinced of my decision to stop reading the boards regulalrly some 6 months ago.

Funnily enough I find myself reading P and dafrca's comments and nodding my head throughout

Ditto to both
:D

OK. I am now officially confused (although it does not take much!). The SG forums are now all locked and closed. The web site was down and the news was that the new one would appear at noon. The site has just (15:45) come online... but it is the old one with the same links to the old boards - but with a new message saying 'welcome to the new site'? Any clues? ?:oo

EDIT: Its OK, it has just disappeared again.  :laugh:

And the new forum is claiming to be open, but you can only post in GenDis - and out of the three threads there, two are locked (one due to being a sticky, one due to being finished).

Seriously, which half-assed amatuer do they have running the web side of the show? This is *NOT* how you roll out a redesign, even for an amatuer - a proper company shuld not b doing it like this.

I've just been getting the 'uploading' tag all day, just checked again. Do you have to have registered perchance?

You guys didn't expect it to be smooth did you. ???

That would just be way too much to ask. :;):

I wonder who will be moderating the boards... If it is moderated like the Epic boards I think it will be allright but other forums such as the BFG ones has some pretty zealous mods. Seriously: I got a warning mail from a MOD because I posted a link to GZG's website warning me that if I ever did that again I'd be kicked from the boards...

Pixelgeek I believe is the Epic mod so far registered but I think the plan is for all the rules committee to be mods. Hopefully PG will develope a less aggravating style as he managed to upset a fair few people on the old boards. Not that he was wrong per see but it doesn't do a company image much good, especially where the problem with a poster seemed to be style rather than content.

As for GW boards I gave up after 1 post asking for what was different about the blood angles from the ultramarines in 40k. Got a horde of fanboys telling me to go and buy the book and the mod locking the thread for requesting pulished stats. All I wanted was they have a death company (hand to hand fiends), predator with a twin assualt cannon and cc dreadnaught. Gods.

Hi Chris,

Chris: Pixelgeek I believe is the Epic mod so far registered but I think the plan is for all the rules committee to be mods. Hopefully PG will develope a less aggravating style as he managed to upset a fair few people on the old boards. Not that he was wrong per see but it doesn't do a company image much good, especially where the problem with a poster seemed to be style rather than content.


I never thought I'd say this (Especially being the person who started a petition that was sent to Jervis to have PG removed as a moderator), but PG is getting better.

I will check out the new forums, but I don't envision spending anytime there. The current format is not very inviting.

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

I thought there could be only one.

Or was that something to do with swords and scotsmen?

PG can be agravating at times but I like him, he has worked hard at the playtesting side of things and if on acasion he and I havent seen eye to eye, well you'll have that. Anyway the forum is indeed not inviting over there with most of it locked up and the New Web site I see is nothing special either, quite a waste of time and effort looks like. and only 500 posters have swithced over so far, looks like if it doesnt pick up that the majority of the SGs fans will have moved on.

There can only be one.

But the fact there are others tells me the game is still in motion and the true awakening has not taken place yet.  :;):

I am such a dork at times.  :laugh:

Hi!

Shhhh....!!

No one is supposed to know there are "other" forums.

Its just a rumor for now.  :;):

Besides, I'd bet there are members that are scottish and have swords too......  :;):
