Why would it not be? You say yourself that their position regarding Warseer is clear, why would they suddenly switch not just to imitating the forum they dislike, but imitating their main criticism of it, if not simply to make a joke? Making clearly contradictory or ironic statements for the purposes of humour and comedic effect is very common, whereas criticising someone for doing something and immediately copying it yourself is, outside of politics, comparatively rare. It's certainly far more reasonable to assume it wasn't a serious suggestion.
What you say is true, but I don't know. I always assume that when people really really hate something they do or say things that don't look reasonable or make sense from a third party PoV. I mean not only do I bathe in that everyday, I am myself a culprit of it. I just assumed that was the case here, thus why I found the statement ironic.

When the above was pointed out in an extremely polite/friendly tone, he decided he preferred to stick to Warseer where he could use his coloured text because it is easier for posting using his phone. Which is fair enough all around. No arguments, chastisements, or anything like that.
I am posting only to say that this is 100% true and if anyone thinks I have a problem with Dakka, they are wrong: people are always entitled to run their stuff however they see fit, and the mods here were nothing if not polite. (Many things I say are joking or exaggerated for effect - this is not. The mods were genuinely polite and it's cool.)
 filbert wrote:I find all of Reinholt's posts hard to read because I use the worksafe theme with white background rather than the default black one and orange on white is especially hard to read. That's what you have to take into account; nobody minds you using whatever colour you want but you have to appreciate that not everyone uses the default theme.
This, on the other hand, is a complete lie and everyone knows it. My posts are hard to read because I'm borderline incoherent and probably flying rodent gak insane. Don't besmirch my reputation by alleging it's just some nonsense with fonts and colors. You are better than that.
 wuestenfux wrote:I think it's time to close this thread. Don't give Reinholdt and company a forum for discussion.
I agree! I have it on good authority that guy is the kind of person who supports the moderating at Tau Whatever They Call It. He even stole an extra d and put it in my name; how can you trust anyone who does that? Plus, he's on the internet, so that totally means he is a bad person. I will put my money where my mouth is by self-banning myself.

This. Those analysis as well as the painting section, and 40k Background sections were my favorite places. I've long since effectively quit the hobby, but not a day went by without me checking in. I've uninstalled tapatalk since the site went down, and here I am... That community had been a part of my life since 1999. I am truly sad to see it go.

I want to buy 40k, but Gamesworkshop is doing their very best to push me away, and simply not buying their product won't tell them that.

All really mean 'keep wages low for the masses, taxes low for the rich, profits high for the corporations, and accept the decline in public services and amenities this will cause'." - Robin McAlpine from Common Weal |

Sad to see Warseer go, It was the first forum I did anything more than lurk on, but I haven't really used it in ages. My hobby focus moved away from 40K and onto many other things and it was a narrowly focused site.

Which is funny because I thought reddit was one of those sites like twitter that built a user base and totally failed to monetize it and are now circling the drain.

Yeah, but Dakka still seems to be mostly Heroic scale models. Personally I'd like to see other scales represented more like 15mm and 6mm games/miniatures.

Build more sense-making forum categories to start those threads in.  A lot of 15mm and 6mm will have to go in the Miscellanous Games and Historical Gaming boards, except WWII 15mm, which goes in the Battlefront and 15mm WWII board, where 28mm WWII can't go because it's 28mm, so it has to go in the Historical Gaming board away from all that unhistorical 15mm WWII, and...

From what I've seen, Dakka Management does not believe in "build it and they will come." They only create new forums when the parent forum is too busy, or when there is ample traffic in multiple other forums to create one specialized one (such as 30k).

That would be because the comma isn't meant to be there, and was likely a mistake in the original link.
What sing is saying is valid, though; attempting to access a Warseer thread via a Google searched link such as one: http://www.warseer.com/forums/showthread.php?405473-Warhammer-9th-Edition-Roundup-Discussion throws up a 404, despite it being, unlike the comma, an actual existing page somewhere on Warseer. It seems like http://www.warseer.com/forums/ is the only link to Warseer that doesn't. Not like you can actually do much with it, though.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.
