Not exactly sure where to put this but i wanted to start a thread to thank you all who host and moderate this forum. It keeps me entertained as well as a good place to chat and learn things. Often its been my experience that "thank you" is not given enough. While I am at it i want to thank everyone else who contributes with their beautiful pics/knowledge in the hobby who might not necessarly be a moderator and such but contribute to the content of the forum .

I personaly have to disagree, the moderators on this site are a bunch of fascists who have never heard of the right to "FREEDOM OF SPEECH". Most privatly run forums on the internet are like this these days.. If you go againt the norm, or point out Hard truths, that the general delusional public that frequent that forum disagree with you get baned or edetid. Dakka Dakka are the same as say MMORPG.com.. They have a personal interest that some "truths" should not be known. And they are suported by their "FANBOY" Squad, who report and try to shut down anyone that speaks out of term.
In the old days we had the Curch doing this.. someone said the earth is round and it goes around the sun... The Curch "Fanboys" screamed -"Heratic! BURN HIM At THE STAKE!!!". That he was Right matterd not. Same goes on privatly run forums in the 21st century..
I suspect I will get edited and Baned for my "truth" speaking so catch you all on the flip-side....HAHAH

Cool story bro.
You do realize when you join you sign a little thing that basically says "What the mods say is law and I will abide by it."
And also I'll thank the mods while I'm here too. I can't imagine how much hassle it is to run this forum with as many members as it has. The fact that they get rid of trolls and adds and the like so quickly is pretty impressive. I need to quit stalling and buy DCM sometime...

You don't have a right to post on Dakka, its a private forum. With rules. Following them gets you the privilege of posting here.
People join because they want those rules to be followed.
Dakka's rules are pretty simple actually, don't post or condone illegal activity, and don't use language that you wouldn't use in front of a 5 year old and you'll be fine. There's a couple other minor things but Dakka is anything but discriminatory.
I'd give you a triangle of friendship but I see you already have several.

Self-proclaimed evil Cat-person. Dues Ex Felines
Cato Sicarius, after force feeding Captain Ventris a copy of the Codex Astartes for having the audacity to play Deathwatch, chokes to death on his own D-baggery after finding Calgar assembling his new Eldar army.
Also if you feel like trolling at least spell words correctly in this day and age even my iPhone has a spell checker. Maybe it's just me but misspelt words really annoy me

We do predominantly wear black it's true. Mainly as it's slimming but it also looks just dandy by torchlight as we invade small eastern European countries.
who have never heard of the right to "FREEDOM OF SPEECH".
Nope, we all have. It's frequently brought up by truly inane posters who oft lack the wit and intellect to actually come up with an argument or a reason for their own actions.
Most privatly run forums on the internet are like this these days.. If you go againt the norm, or point out Hard truths,
Ah hard truths, the auld enemy. We meet again.
Never see soft truth anymore do you eh ? Thing of the past like white crumbly dog gak, "Tab clear" and that friendly orangutan who used to help rescue the kids in comic books and lead them to the cool refreshing taste of Capri-Sun. All in the space of a page, wonderful story telling.
Or the CB Bears! Despite some desperate attempts by forum moderators and similar ne'er-do-wells you barely see or hear anything about them either !
Truly we cower under the shadow of the NWO.
that the general delusional public that frequent that forum disagree with you get baned or edetid.
Thank god we have you to save us Neo, the machines are nearly at Zion and we don't know how much longer we can hold out !
Dakka Dakka are the same as say MMORPG.com.. They have a personal interest that some "truths" should not be known.
It's true that we do actively work to hide the incredible truth about JFK's assassination, the secret ingredient in Coca Cola and what women really think !
All at the behest of our Pentagon masters of course.
And they are suported by their "FANBOY" Squad, who report and try to shut down anyone that speaks out of term.
Don't you dare disrespect the FANBOY Squad. They don't work for cheap but they're worth nearly every peso we throw at them !
In the old days we had the Curch doing this
The dark old days of 2nd edition, when there was only dial-up, people were inundated with those poxy AOL discs for XX hours of free web browsing and the Catholic church ruled wargaming forums with an ironfist, confident that the Squat army book would be released anyday soon, and the old Slaan warriors would still be usable in WFB.
dark, dark days indeed.
.. someone said the earth is round and it goes around the sun
His name lost forevermore to the mists of time.

Don't be silly, you'll be burnt at the stake of course.
Well we say stake but there's every chance it'll turn out to be largely horse !

The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

DCM is appreciated, but the best way to say thanks is just saying thanks Always pleasant to see, though the depth of success of the site is reward enough!
Check out our new, fully plastic tabletop wargame - Maelstrom's Edge, made by Dakka!
Dakka is the guiding light and leader of the known world. Moral, Ethical, Political and Social issues are all resolved here, and we must, must, must maintain our Iron grip lest all of you learn the hard truth and rebel. I happen to like eating babies in my mountain top manse while flicking kittens off the ledge just cause I can.
That or y'know, shocking as it may be to believe, it's just a forum about tiny plastic dolls.
But, the most important question of all... WHAT HAPPENED TO TAB CLEAR????
Automatically Appended Next Post: PS THANK YOU OP! lol

+1 to the OP. Like anyplace, this place isn't perfect, but it's a darn fine forum and I'm glad it's here.

I don't think you'll be banned, but it might be nice -and you might be taken more seriously- if you were self-edited enough to spell "Church", "Heretic", "Mattered", "Banned" or "Privately" correctly.
For the record, the "someone" you're talking about was Galileo.
And if you like "hard truths" here's one: There is NO guarantee of "free speech" on a privately owned web forum.

Alright then, as you asked nicely.
After Project Blue Beam was leaked and the masses enlightened it became clear that
text Deleted.
Nothing to see here, move along.

It's even worse than you'd think. See how the powers that be, using their ungodly and unnatural internet skills, have removed all reference to the sentience of and centuries of oppression that curches are responsible for ! They would have one think t'was merely some form of archaic headwear !
The people must be told ! The Millineristic oppressors must be over thrown !

Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from responsibility or that others will not like what you say. If you are offended by someone else's views on your topic grow some tough skin and deal with it. If you can't, go away
I was wondering where Dakka fit into the online miniatures gaming community...
The Miniatures Page: where 50+ year old grognards talk about one day playing a game of DBM and how they loved Rogue Trader and complain about everything else
Frothers Unite: where 40 year olds go to act like they're 15 again as a way to let steam off from their midlife crises, but at least they play a game once every 6 months (or whenever their wife lets them out of the house)
Warseer: where 15 year olds go to discuss WAAC army lists and GW is the One True God and 40k is the Only Religion and Mat Ward is the Voice of God and how dare you question their motives and it's only the bestest company and ruleset ever!
Dakka Dakka: a community of Malifaux/Warmachine/40k/WH/Infinity/KingsOfWar/XWing/BoltAction/FoW/etc players who discuss various things from news and rumors to tactics and so forth in the miniature gaming world in a relatively polite and respectful manner AND ALSO IT'S RUN BY FASCISTS WHO HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THE RIGHT TO "FREEDOM OF SPEECH" AND YOU WILLGET EDETID OR BANED!!1!
