GD UK Forums. How many stupid threads do you need? Bigoted crap about the Spaniards \"teaming up to steal our trophies\"; people complaining about LAST YEAR\'s Youngbloods winner... jeez :no: And couple that with excellent forum design, cool avatars, hyperlink and image-pasting capabilities, relaxed moderation, large number of interesting and intelligent folks... what a great forum!

In fact, that bit would be CMoN through and through if it had not been intended sarcastically :D

Phew. Hopefully no disclaimer needed after that clear explanation :duh:

I stopped going to GW forums when they started a thread about favorite mini.

After reading so many posts about the dark elf chick, cause you can see her \"hooters\" I closed the window and never looked back.

Absolute waste of bandwidth.

I sigh every time I visit the Games Workshop forum as I know there will be several arguments over base sizes, people moving 1/2mm extra and the shitstorm that was the \"terminators dont wear terminator armour11!!!!!11l0l!!!111!\" threads.

Battle for Macragge is even worse. 248972847 threads on \"Can I paint my space mariens a different colour?\". OF COURSE YOU CAN FRICKIN PAINT THEM A DIFFERENT COLOUR, THEY\'RE YOUR MODELS!!!! When I got my first Space Marines back in ye mists of time, the first thing I did was paint them bright red with metalic purple hands and weapons and dark blue eyes for Gods sake.

And I swear if I see one more \"who r teh primarks?\" or \"40k jokes\" or \"whats your armies soundtrack?\" thread, I will start killing hostages. :evil:

Heres a 40k joke for you.

Q. Whats the best forum in the world?
A. The Games Workshop forums.


Ok bad joke. But there are alot of noobs on their forums, who most times strart pointless arguements and cause strife for no reason. The moderators are nice, I remember one time one of them had to have a word with a member because his name was \'sperminator\'. Quite funny.

And even Bill remebers that \'Golden Demon judges are biased\' thread...

For the most part...Retarded.
But in a WACKY way!!! (Thanks Vikey)

Whats all this balls about terminators not wearing Terminator armour???
Please, PLEASE!!!! Don\'t tell me \"It\'s Tactical Dreadnought Armour\", Or I\'LL start Killing Sworwinds Hostages!

It\'s F**ING TERMINATOR ARMOUR.
And why do I care??? I don\'t know why i let myself get into these states I really don\'t. I think it\'s the Hormones.

You\'ll drink beer like every other bloke around here, get drunk and make an arse of yourself on the forums...it\'s traditional for God\'s sake. Besides the chocolate stock is reserved for female members and is guarded by tooshy....apparently...so she tells us.:bouncy:

I agree Bill. Years ago I was on the GW forums. It was like a bunch of kids in desperate need of attention got together on one website. I rarely saw an intelligent post out side of quoting rules and such.

Trust me the Warmachine (Privateer Press) forums are getting just as bad. I get sick to my stomach every time I visit over there.

One more Sorcha is the Suxxors thread and I am going to shoot my self.

I object to you refering to GW Forums as a Cesspool.



I would like to point out Cesspool\'s are useful.
