You have my sincerest condolences. That place is the dung heap of the known universe.

When did the discussion switch to the old Games Workshop forums?

By the way, it looks like Warseer is back up, except the actual forums aren't actually up

I think that they were the worst forums that I have ever seen, for any subject. There was little good to be said about them.

The layout of the old GW forum was dreadful and you couldn't post links or pictures, making any real discussion of pianintin and modelling a bit redundant, or battle reports, anything really needing photos.

The White Dwarf forum was especially badly handled. Lots of people were complaining about the dreadful state of the magazine. One of the magazine editors started a thread asking for opinions on improvements, and there were many long, well considered replies. The response seemed positive and asked that people wait and see for improvements as the magazine was prepared three months in advance. Six months later nothing had changed (and in the years afterwards it got even worse!), posters on the White Dwarf forum got even more vocal feeling they'd been ignored and that the magazine was still terrible, so GW closed the section down and banned critical discussion of the magazine elsewhere. Some months later the whole forum was closed.

Funniest rule on the GW forum was the 'no squats' rule. If you talked about squats the message or thread was deleted. I appreciate they don't want people constantly petitioning for squats to return but I don't think it happened so often the very mention of topic needed to be banned.

Back up and running once again
