I think out of all the boards on 4chan /tg/ is the most sane, you can even get a good discussion out of them if you go about it the right way.

As long as they assimilate! muahah. >.< More dakkites and more dakka is generally a good thing. If not, theres the modquisition. ^_^

-Joins in chorus singing praises of lego, yak, and the mods- Thanks much guys/gals!

I started on a different forum, but theres just so much more on here to talk about and see pics of and such that its kinda hard to leave.

Well really when you get down to it, most boards there are sane in their own way (oh god why did I spend a year there)

I think we're getting a bit off topic though talking about our experiences on 4chan though.

Ah... 4Chan, well any board that send Justin Beiber to North Korea is fine by me.

On topic. I can't understand why warseer is still around. I try my hardest to frequent on there...But everything is so....Dry and stagnant. The same boring threads pop up everytime I go on there:
"____ tactics discussion mk VII"
"what would you like to see in the next _______ codex?"
"Making _____ work?"

Ugh, it's so boring I could cry. The OT board is trash too. it's the same serious people chatting about non-serious things...It just sucks

I know warseer has a certain charm to some people (beginners, tactics guys, people who find us too elistist and cocky ), but I just can't understand it.

Hey kid kyoto. I love your siggy more than anything in the universe right now

And that's different from Dakka Dakka how?

I think there's some creative stuff in /tg/, especially regarding RPGing, and (although I know that isn't our focus) I would like to see more of that creativity expressed here. (Although we do have some good stuff between the Lagre Scale and Survivor Game sub-fora; check them out!) It's becoming more pertinent to us because of FFG's DH/RT/DW lines. The 40k stuff from /tg/ is pretty underwhelming, both in terms of the crunch and the fluff. "Love Can Bloom" is not the sort of thing I'd be proud to see originating out of Dakka.

I appreciate your input in these "tried and true" topics. From my individual viewpoint, users will always be our greatest asset.

True, but I would enjoy seeing a few of the mods here putting in more of an effort when it comes to policing forum rules, and the worst mods (possibly mod) need(s) to start setting an example and follow all of the rules personally.

Aside from that, good to see DakkaDakka prospering. I've always found it to be the best wargaming site online, and I still agree with that.

I find your lack of faith disturbing Frazzled was voted worst mod evah! already and retains the title. Say it with pride!

Thanks to Legoburner and Yakface for running such a great internet community, you guys kick ass!

ABSOLUTELY this.

Dakka Dakka wouldn't be the great place that it is today if they hadn't stepped up a few years back...

So, I'll repeat that sentiment - thank you Legoburner and Yakface!

AND, a big thank you to the Dakka Dakka community as a whole as well - congrats everyone, really!

What he said!

Heh now that you mentioned it, it is usually the non 40k stuff that I loved from /tg/. Whether it was Dwarf Fortress to Wakfu

Although I did like the "Ultramarine Movie" Battle Standard competition thing one guy started.

I agree, but they Jessy Slater thing, that ended badly for everyone involved. So they are 1-1 now.

I remind you that Love Can Bloom is now canon. And actually not a bad bit of fanfic. Better than half the BL stuff I've read.

I myself announced it.

By /tg/ standards, agreed -- shudder.

Read the more recent stuff.

What the hell are you people talking about?

Follow the link in my post, KC.

*sigh* my god. I'm sorry I asked.

Exactly.

Okay I'm really confused.

Is there something wrong with that pic that I'm missing?

Did you not follow the link in my post earlier? It's all explained there.

I did. I thought it was just that pic at the top you were referring to. Now I get it.

Still, I don't think it was all that bad.

...You don't think a story between a Vindicare and a Farseer that involves love at first sight through a sniper scope is "all that bad"?

I guess I'm not as emotionally invested in this as some people.

Titanicus (by Dan 'the mark of quality' Abnett) is quite good. Mechanicum was like poking iron needles into my brain.

My review here...

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/253685.page

Erm ... what again was the topic?

I was so full of awe and hope when I read the words "Machine, heal thyself" . . .

But Love Can Bloom is gak. It's the parody of a plot, whether intentionally so or not. We have so much better to offer here in the oft-neglected Dakka Fiction section.

KamikazeCanuck wrote:or perhaps too much...

Nope.

Not at all.

Off Topic - KK and Manchu's hatred of "Mechanicum" borders on the insane. It isn't that bad at all, actually.

On Topic: Dakka - ain't it great?
