Dysartes, it occurs to me that with Portent gone, you have a great opportunity to offer the 40k/Fantasy community a home. Will Dysartes.com be picking up the pieces from Portents demise? The EPICentre would help, but we have no 40k/Fantasy content, and to be honest I really don't like 40k  . Would be nice to know that all those people have a home to go to though. I don't know what I would do if EPIComms collapsed :S. Hardly worth thinking of! Might actually have to work  !

Aww, that's sad. I wasn't a member, as I only ever managed to stick around this place, but I regularly took a look to see what was going on. Thanks guys. |

They had cool t-shirts, and the forums did offer me a massive amount of help when I was creating my Empire army. I lost heavily, due to not setting up my charges right, but did enjoy the games. Next time, I get it right, I was reacting and letting my opponent dictate the pace of the game, I almost never make that mistake. Oh well, it was my first game in a decade! When I planned for my first 40k game, they helped me set up a decent army list. It was a convincing victory - but still so mind numbing, kiddy tactics only IMHO. I quite enjoyed 2nd Ed, but 3rd ed was pants. Haven't tried 4th ed yet and am not really intending too. The part of Portent I liked the most was the background section of the forums, I have always been a bit of a fluff addict! |

A sad day... I used to hang aroud at Portent quite a bit before coming here, and like Tom, I really enjoyed the fluff discussions (and the modelling forum)! Seven years is still dead impressive.... so well done to the whole community there.

Not entirely sure if we'll end up getting all the pieces, but we are getting some - about 30 new sign-ups since that page went live, Tom, with more appearing every hour. If anyone knows anyoe looking for a "replacement" for Portent, feel free to send them in my direction

netepic, sorry to hear that, icecream and jelly are great but not when enforced. Dysartes, good for you, hopefully your organisation will continue to grow. |

Had I known you had Nuns at your beck and call then I would have tried the sympathy vote. Dammit.... and damn the girl who infected me  , she wasn't even that pretty.

Yes, I found this sad news as well... I also discovered the portent people very helpful in sorting out rules clarifications etc. Time to head over to dysartes place Hope the tonsilitis calms down Tom!
