Why does everybody here seem to dislike DakkaDakka so much? I know I'm highly biased, since it was my first internet home, but what makes it so unappealing?  |

I didn't know that there was a general sentiment about that board (is it a board?) here... Sorry, I've never been there. Must admit that if anything the name puts me off visiting  . Seriously, my 'Net time is severely restricted at the best of times and it takes enough of it checking out Portent and ASP. On the bright side Portent is now dredging the barrel of interesting discussion so I do have some time free... but there is still that name! ;D Right, time to go and quickly check some other threads before having to get to work...

Same here. I'm sure there are plenty of good boards, like DakkaDakka or Exterminatus or whatever, but I just don't have the time.
I'm glad to see Portent is picking up though. More interesting discussions than I can follow at the moment. Which means interesting people start showing up. Which means that interesting people answer my random questions- yay!

The lack of fluff there annoys me...and I dont like most of their tournaments..sometimes they got pretty models, but most of the time it isnt really worth the looking.

...I'm glad to see Portent is picking up though.... I'm reminded of the film Princess Bride, when Montaya et al. have taken Buttercup and notice the ship behind them, the one carrying the "Man in the Black Mast". Montaya asks: "I wonder if he is using the same wind as us...?" In that same vein, are you checking the same Portent as me, CELS? Kage |

Oh, come on! Officio Psykana! IG Regiment size! Did The Emperor Believe In His Own Divinity! Imperial Money! And I thought the Craftworld and Eldar thread was still going on, but I guess that died...
Ah well. Really though, there's not much left to talk about about 40k background. We've figured it all out. Now all that remains is creating new background, and very few people do that except in fiction and for their own regiment or SM chapter.

I think the craftworl Eldar thread died as Kage and myself were the only people replyig to it and since that discussion has moved elsewhere........
In general Portent at the moment is definatly in a 'down' period, hopefully iy'll pick up at some point.

Well Portent is better than Dakka Dakka IMHO, Im now just waiting for Damage Inc to get back, so we could continue on his project: Warhammer M28, Age of Strife ;D
