A poem has come to mind recently given some recent events which I felt appropriate to share in line with the new 40k release:

First they came for 1D4chan, and I did not speak out—
Because I already knew my armies.

Then they came for Battlescribe, and I did not speak out—
Because I already had my army lists.

Then they came for [Insert next GW target] and I did not speak out—
Because I understand this is a business, not a hobby.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me so I was stuck using their crappy app or a paper rulebook which was out of date 2 weeks later.

Is this in response to the the hoax that BattleScribe received a C&D?

The problem is that 1d4chan and Battlescribe are up and running as they always have been, and GW isn't actually coming for anyone

Don't worry man. These websites and programs are temporary, but torrents... are forever.

There will always be a excel spreadsheet or pirated pdf floating around the internet for when you tire of the GW points carousel.

"Then they came for the Space Marine trademark... and the sci-fi community at large told them to feth off. And that was that.
The End."

Tabletop wardollies are TOTALLY LIKE THE HOLOCAUST, YOU GUYS.

What a crock of gak.

Ahhh, Godwin! It's been a while, where you been?
(Yes, yes, I know the original poem was actually a for-real war piece.)

jesus christ, what an insulting post. the OP should apologize for comparing GW protecting it;s copyright to genocide.

This is entitled childishness at its finest.

All I can say is... WAHAhaha! GW's C&D nonsense is no imPEDIAment to those of us who know what we are RUddy doing.

*cough*

Pretty much. Shameful.

Both Chan and bs are both up and running again. Comparing even an actual removal to the Holocaust is ridiculous and pathetic.
This thread is done.
