For me, it was to get objective army list critiques for my BT and guard.

EDIT: oh and also, a deep malice toward some R.A.W. rulings that I used to feel a need to argue against.

Interesting

. . .Discuss.

I joined mostly for the painting and modelling forum, but have found myself being a rules lawyer in the Fantasy forums lately.

My main purpose for being on dakka at all is to gain more knowledge of painting techniques, but articles and new tips have been sparse lately, hence my move towards rules clarifications.

To comment on 40ke's batreps, initially...

My friends brought me here.

Cool place.

I had to tell someone that they were wrong.

To start a P&M Log (which would help me keep motivated and actually finish a project)

I stayed for the awesome YMDC arguments, yelling at n00bs, the angry marines, the pretty marines, CREEEEED and so on.

I'd been lurking every once in a while, but after seeing a link on another forum to the amazing =I=Munda stuff I decided to join up.

Originally, to get some list feedback, read up on other lists and tactics, and get some rules clarifications. Getting suckered (and being an idiot and suckering myself) into dumb arguments and pissing contests is just part of the ride.

Lurked for a while and decided after all the useful stuff I picked up I better give something back.

I'm quite slow at giving back though as it's taken me 4 years to reach 500 posts. Go me!

All the hot Dakka chicks. DakkaDakka - the #1 Place for Hot WH40K Cyber Action!

mostly for something to do when I have nothing better to do. I enjoy pointing out moderator hypocrisy and things of that nature.

Anyway...

I signed up as it seemed like a good 'middle ground' forum compared to many out there.

I'm happy to report that my favorite sections (the Painting and Modeling forums) have come a long way since I signed up, and that's mostly due to the hard work of a few individuals behind the scenes and, of course, the users who post their projects in there!

Now, much like Insaniak, Dakka keeps me connected and interested as 'real life' and lack of a local scene make any type regular gaming difficult...

I signed up because I was looking for Army list advice about my 3rd Edition Salamanders army (Which is why I have an SM-related user name while I now play Tau). Ended up getting into an argument with mauleed over something, and then just spread to more and more sub-forums like some form of insidious biological terror.

I joined up mainly because Grey_Death forced me to.

That, and I like looking through the painting forums and commenting when it strikes me.

I initially joined (Many years and several iterations of Dakka software ago) for the modelling forum, but slowly got sucked into YMDC...

I joined because all other 40k forums are blocked on my school's computers.

I joined because... well, I find I'm drifting away from the RPG mindset my friends are all set in, and I needed someone to discuss wargames with.

Everyone here should know why. lol.

kicked off 4ok forums. just cause you say the mod has his panties in a bunch doesnt warrent a warning.

I joined because of H.B.M.C's review of Codex: CSM.

Ugh. 40kforums are terrible. I joined them first and I certainly regretted it. I was called close minded for some bs thing so I left. Most of the members were pretty douchey as well.

:edit: meant 40konline.

I still don't get the whole 'CREEEEEEEED' thing...

Free Dental!

And because of the awesomeness of dakka dakka.

It was the Orkmoticons.

Googled a tactica and it was posted on this board.

I joined to PM a guy that was looking for a game in my area!

I joined because, when I first started Warhammer I looked around the online community. Fanpages/Forums are always good resources.

Dakka stuck because Warseer is garbage. Beyond that, the other big 40k pages are too niche to hang out on.

Dakka also is full of snobs, elitists, low-brow and vulgar people so I fit right in.

Followed a link on underthecouch.net & stuck around after reading a Chaos tactica by Grifthin.
