Dear Brood-brothers and Sisters!
On March 22nd, Ross Nickle, better known as "Accommodator" on Warpshadow has died suddenly.
He was not only the foundation of our community on Warpshadow, he had also the access to our host.
The Gestalt (the admin group) has contacted the host, to make way for a possible transfer of access rights to a member of the gestalt.
Until this transfer has happened, the host decided to shut Warpshadow down.
We are working feverishly on a solution and try to get the board running again as soon as possible.
I hope that we can reach the fleets this way and guide them until we have our board back.
-Hydra
This is a tragic loss for the Wargaming community. I wish his family the best, and hope that Warpshadow, being a leader in the online 40k community, can get back on their feet after such a low blow.

Agreed. I wish the best for his friends and family.
On a side note: reading about something like this with the freakish nature of your avatar to the left was. . .disconcerting.

Actually, the Warpshadow community rearranged its administration quite well in the month after his death. The website is only offline for about a week because of the  host.

Agies Grimm:The "Learn to play, bro" mentality is mostly just a way for someone to try to shame you by implying that their metaphorical nerd-wiener is bigger than yours. Which, ironically, I think nerds do even more vehemently than jocks.
Everything is made up and the points don't matter. 40K or Who's Line is it Anyway?

Dear Brood-brothers and sisters!
After some serious paper work and the assignment of two of our finest Lictors, we are proud to call out to all the lost fleets that we have our board back.
But we need your help to reach everyone , so please carry this synaptic scream on, so we can build Warpshadow up to its former glory.
We thank you for your patience!
Thank you all!
-Hydra
