DAKKA SOLD -- It's been a good run, but it's time to call it a day. - 1st April @ 2009/04/01 13:40:28


Post by: yakface


It's a sad day for me personally. I've had a lot of great times on Dakka and when I found out that Russ was selling the site I figured that I really wanted to try to continue the great legacy that had been established by him.

However, the truth is, running a website is both very expensive and also very time consuming. Unfortunately, both of these things are in short supply for me right now.

I regret to inform the Dakka community that effective today I no longer own dakkadakka.com and will be stepping away from the site to handle some personal business. Unfortunately this also means I've had to cancel my trip to Adepticon and I know I've left my teammates in a pinch, but they've assured me that they can find someone to fill in for my place on the team so at least I haven't ruined their plans as well.

Unlike the last time Dakka changed hands, this time the sale has gone down behind closed doors to someone I felt was more than capable and willing, that person being Malfred.

He is a very, very long time user (longer than me, even) and I believe he has the right tools to take the site to the next level. Also, Legoburner will be staying on to help maintain the technical excellence in the site, so nothing major should change on that end.

I have spoken with Malfred about his plans, and I do know that the site will continue to support Warhammer 40K and other GW discussion, but for the most part he is planning to start moving it towards mainly Warmachine/Hordes coverage. But I'll let Malfred tell you all about that in a bit when he signs on as the official 'Admin' for the site.


Don't worry about me, I'll still be around every now and then in an honorary 'mod' position and I'm sure my personal issues will get sorted out in time and I'll be able to return to Dakka in a larger capacity eventually.

Take care everyone, and thanks for all the support I've received from you all in the last couple of years!


Jon

You better be gribblie joking.

If this is an april fools joke, it is not funny.

If you are leaving, then I have to say a little something.

Thanks for what massive input you have put into dakka, we will miss you and I look forward to seeing you on the site at a later date as a mod.

I add at the end though, if this is a joke, I will find you and force you to read me the 40k rule book backwards for the rest of your life.

Many thanks,
Jack.

we all know that dakka is too involved in 40k to really drag up interest in horde or machine

With the speed at which things went down, I didn't have time to really talk to anyone on Dakka about this besides Legoburner and Malfred (and now my Adepticon teammates).

I do know that Malfred does plan to keep most of the current moderators on, but you should send him a PM to double-check.

Thanks for a great run, Yak!

I'd like to encourage everyone to support Malfred in this transition, and to submit more articles to the articles system! I suspect that doing so will gain extra user privileges and credits in the near future.

Not been a member long enough to know you that well Yakface, but I've read a lot of your posts and you speak wise words and have excellently painted Tyranids . All I can say is that Mal has big shoes to fill. Just hope 40K doesn't get pushed to the side too much, I joined dakka because it was the best 40K forum I've ever come across (and I don't have the cash to start Warmachine ).

Still can't help but wonder if this is all a joke though, since it is 1st April. Although by tradition the joke is meant to end at midday.......... what time is it with you chaps in the US of A?

I know Malfred quite well. We used to play together as children amongst the gravel in cabrini green and dream of the day when we would be rich enough to buy man dollies to crush our enemies with.

Over the years Yakface and Malfred have been having a silent but deadly feud over who would gain control of Dakka once Russ Wakelin kicked the bucket brought on by a massive coronary due to his love of eating triple chocolate pudding and consuming heavily sugared quadruple shot breve lattes.


That day never came due to Mr. Wakelin's newly discovered exercise and diet regimen and Yakface took Dakka by force using tactics involving extortion and other nefarious threats. Many threats of which involved trollbloods inserted into...Oh, I cannot bear to say anymore!

Malfred was always at odds with how Yakface became to be figurehead of Dakka, so he sat and brooded...and plotted for many moons.

The day finally came yesterday when his plans finally came to fruition. It involved a few back alley deals with transvestites, but nothing as shady as Yakface used in the past so Malfred could retain moral high ground when he struck his blow against Yakface's Imperial Dogma.

The rest, as they say, is history....

[edit to add all too lifelike image of Russ Wakelin]

What PP needs to do is take a lesson from GW. You don't need complex rules that account for every situation - you need cool models that non-gamers want to buy and paint and put on display.

What PP needs to do is take a lesson from GW. You don't need complex rules that account for every situation - you need cool models that non-gamers want to buy and paint and put on display.


I will forward this message to Jason Soles directly. It shall read:

Sell toys not war.

God no! Jason Soles is probably one of the tightest rules writers ever. Don't mess with the genius, PLEASE! (Yes I'm being serious)

If true, than best wishes to Yakface.

Hope so, I noticed some forum changes consistent with the statement.

But I guess the fool's day makes the most sense, glad you called it. I never pay attention to the date, I was ready to be depressed all day...

1 card for one model, seems fair to me.

Cool. I'll trade you 4 of my Deathrippers for 4 of your Moxen.

I for one welcome new management. Yakface was so overbearing it wasn't funny. I just can't believe it took this long.

On a side note, Malf would it be too much to ask for you to make Frazzled's lawn bigger but not tell us where the new boundaries are?

People are getting lax knowing where to stay off of.

I grow tired of malfred's clothing policy. Time has come for us to wrestle power away from Chicago and return to the good ol' days of yak and lego.

So, I had an idea for a new addition to the Warmachine and Hordes games. Basically, it's just ripping off Legend of the Five Rings from the first story arc.

OK, I just want Matt Wilson to do a few Kachiko miniatures. And maybe Isawa Kaeda.

See, if you were on the DCM side, now called GYATM (Give Your Alms to Malf) you would know it has already been determined which manbags are suitable for carrying, beer, firearms, rocket propelled chainsaws, and of course your favorite sandwich.

I've heard that PP is considering dumping their forums and will just let everyone migrate to dakka. I guess the FAQ/Errata will be maintained, but the rest of the forums will be taken down since it's a little redundant with dakka going Heavy Metal, and it was a big drain on the company's resources.
