Yep, 'Dakka' is the sound a machine gun makes, most famously, Ork weapons.
If you want to know about the origins of this particular site, you can read about it in this article:

Before it was appropriated by the Orks (and this site), 'dakkadakkadakka' was one of the 'sound effects' used in WWII comics when a machine gun was fired.

Dakka means many things to all of us; a simple onomatopoeia for gun sounds, a place where we discuss games, or even the name of a dear friend.
The important thing is, what does dakka mean to you?
