I felt like it.

I registered for a few reasons:
1. Tracking unread threads didn't seem to be working quite right for non-users.
2. After logging in, I could turn off all of those annoying signature banners and flashing, animated avatars.

Apparently, I started posting because of the shininess of the Chaos Daemons codex. Has it already been two years since that codex came out?

Because of the lack of 'l33t' speak, the fact that the users are friendly and helpful, and because the P&M blogs were too good to miss.

I started posting after I found this site looking for Eldar tactica. I noticed the board, spent a few days checking it out and decided to stick around.

To piss people off with my right-wing loon, gun-toting, rhetoric.

Oh, and for the fact that the OT is better than any other OT forum on any other wargaming site.

Once upon a time, way back when, I met this guy Russ, or was it his brother, anyways, he suggested I join the site, so I did.

After lurking for a number of weeks I came to the conclusion that this board needed a new member - a member who stood for virtue, justice and freedom. A member who would cut through the nonsense with the blade of reason and the sword of intelligence. A member who the others would look up to as a near-God-like figure as they basked in his everlasting glory. One who could calm the oceans of YMDC and bring peace between the tournament gamers and the casual gamers.

Then, being unable to find such a person, I registered myself and just started yelling at people.

It's worked out pretty good so far.

Hehehehehe, I started reading your post and was already composing a "So why did you join" response, then I read your second section and the people here at work are wondering about why I'm laughing.

BFG. This forum had a secrtion. Still does but it moves slower now.

Ah, good old YMDC. Yakface and Mauleed Dictate Conclusions.

I found this forum while searching for cool 40k sites. I guess I found one! Back when I started reading, Dakka still had a front page with a wraithlord on it, and a bunch of picture links. And a tyranid picnic. I registered to get help making my Iron Warriors. Those were the days.

The true story is that my civilisation was about to die, so my father put me into this space capsule and th... no... wait that's Superman.

What really happened is that there was this chemical spill that blinded me, and for some reason I could see Dakka by the shrill wails of the sycophan... no... that's Dare Devil. Hmm...

Ok, the actual story is that I was growing up on a farm when the Empire killed my aunt and uncle and this weird old dude asked me to help find a Princess... actually, that's Star Wars.

Ok, what really happened is that I joined to yell at Mauleed... but ended up agreeing with him and joined the fight against Godzilla... I mean Drew Riggo.

I was a lurker for quite some time. I joined because I liked the interaction between the regular posters and the relaxed moderation style. The majority of posters seem to be mature and have a good sense of humour, having fun and enjoying the hobby is more important than winning a point or a small argument.

Board at work, and remembered dakka dakka somehow. Seriously I seldom ever post from home.

Is anyone else surprised at how frequently mauleed's spectre is popping up in this thread?

I first learned of the forum when I got back into painting just before Christmas. I joined because a friend wanted some advice about his store so I thought I would ask a forum full of the target audience

I'd lurked on and off for a while and had enjoyed the forum.
When I moved to France I bought myself a decent digital camera and a spanky new laptop to stay in touch with the real world.
I figured that this forum would be a good place to stay in touch with the hobby and also felt it was time to give a little back.
1st post was a Biovore that i'd converted from spare Nid Battleforce bits.
It's been fun, thanks everyone.

Registered because I wanted to buy something from someone.

First post was telling someone that one of the local GW redshirts was a good guy. Subsequently got flamed for saying a GW employee was alright.

I joined because I am new to 40k and wanted to do some research before purchasing an army.
