I didn't get Net access until the summer of 2002, and it was sometime in late Autumn I found Dakka while searching for something 40K related. Had never seen a forum before, so kept quiet and lurked for over a year.

Joined in Jan 2004 under the username Captain Reaper (might have been Captain_Reaper) not sure, but I didn't post a lot, but kept an eye on the forum.

When the site moved to new servers in 2005? I didn't switch right away, and when I eventually switched, took my chance to take a new name I was using elsewhere. fuzzy_spiral, which is a npc for my Werewolf the Apocalypse games. Also on this site still. I have the username as a Known user, as I do know them, its me.

Sadly I had my first PC die in 2006, and I got into WoW when I got my second, and just sorta lost this site, it went off the radarfor a while as it wasn't in my new PCs bookmarks. Finally after being on Warseer as this name for a few years, I was getting fed up, and came to here from a link at Warseer in 2008. Slapped my forehead and thought dang totally forgot about this place, and rejoined using that same name I have at Seer.

Had forgotten my original username until reccently, and don't have access to the email if I wanted to change, which I don't. Glad really as I don't think fuzzy_spiral has the same ring as MDS.

Seems more of a tale than it should be, but it explains why I reference three names in my bio.

I googled 40k websites. LOL

I've lurked this site for a while, I heard about it at my LGS.

Well, I stumbled upon H.B.M.C's review of Codex: CSM back in early '08, and signed up a while later. Being 14 at the time, I did some stupid things, got called out for it, and dropped off sometime last year. I decided to come back recently, in the hope that I could find more like-minded individuals and demonstrate how I've matured.

I started lurking over a decade ago but only got onto the forum a few years back. In my day there was no forum... there were Tyranid Picnics, though.

My friend ChaosLordSam told me about DakkaDakka

I recently started the hobby and typed "Warhammer painting forum" into Google and checked all the top forums and looked at which had the most active users and this forum had the most by far.

Was looking for a wargaming site that could deal out solid list advice without many of the cliques and trolls of previous others...

It started with a cup of tea at some internet cafe.




I just assume that the numerous cigar burns and erotic tattoo that I woke up with happened at the same time as me signing up here.

I think when you search for something 40K related in google often a DakkaDakka forum thread will pop up. So I think that's how I found it.

had played 40k since 03 and always sort of knew of the site, then got really bored at work one day and thought "I want to talk about 40k right now!" and got on because i had heard of the site in game before

A few years ago I was looking for undead orge conversions and when I typed it into google I stumbled upon a thread that contained not undead ogres but an ogre kingdoms army and a kitbash of a black night. The ogre tyrant looked so good it inspired me to do an ogre kingdoms army myself. Sadly the thread never showed the army get completed. But I looked at some other threads and saw some of the amazing models that were on display so I signed up.

As I was a wee lad when I joined DakkaDakka a year ago, I was looking at all the humor images with some pals. I decided to leave Miniwargaming, a site I was on and a smaller site in the larger Wargaming continuum to come here. TBH, I can pinpoint the precise moment at which I realized that I joined Dakka Dakka.

So that's the story of how Chowderhead joined. I became a DCM in March of this year, and don't regret any of it.

I don't recall, I think I used to look in occasionally at the galleries and the modelling sections. Don't remember why I eventually joined.

I was looking at a better forum to discuss Battlefleet Gothic.

RelicNEWS

What's Relic NEWS? Sounds interesting.

Oh ok. I'll stick to Dakka Dakka though.

I originally joined because it was the only 40k forum -not- blocked by my school's internet filters.

Can't say that's all bad, I like Dakka the best.

Relicnews is just for news of Relic games...its not the same as Dakkadakka in that it has no ties to wargaming whatsoever.

My bro led me onto it. I lurked for a few weeks and then took the plunge, into a deep and weirdly wonderful world

Wel my friend led me onto it. I lurked it for a few week and then took the plunge, into a deep and weird world

*Note how I copied your post only for the fact that I was in the same scenario as you.

I was looking for guides on making a Rebel Grots army, lurked a year or two. Then joined.

I got linked here by a picture on lexicanium of a khorne battle titan someone was building , lurked for weeks and then joined.

I found it when wh40k forums was giving such slow responses, i thought their it was awesome... then i came here and BANG so many users that i get like 50 replies as opposed to like 4-5, i also dwell in the MWG forums, the forums not half bad (there is only about 75 users online usally) but their videos are amazing, ahhhhh dave.

Portent turned into Warseer, and I didn't like something about that change, so I came over here.

It was way too long ago for me to remember.

I don't really prefer Warseer. Mainly because of their bad format. Dakka Dakka rules!

The holy light of the God-Emperor led me here, when I was still walking in the darkness.He guided me into this site, filled with His divine grace.
