Dakka is an absolute cesspit of received opinion and toxic ego.

Dakka is an absolute cesspit of received opinion and toxic ego.
I pretty much entirely just use the News and Rumour threads on Dakka, follow FW, BL, Vic minis and Anvil Industries there. It is pretty handy, because both Vic and Anvil post a lot of sculpts and renders to get feedback on, so I have directly helped influence a few designs to be more to my liking... :D
Dakkadakka's modelling and painting threads experience much less drama than the rest of the site, and I've gotten good feedback from there before. So I can't condemn the whole site.
Warseer was the biggest 40K forum - but that was years ago.
Dakka overtook them about 3 years back, and is now the largest miniatures wargaming forum, mainly due to Warseer's 4-year plummet from grace.
B&C is now in the #2 spot, with the various other niche forums trailing behind.
Still, Warseer's loss is harsh as it still stood as an enormous archive and resource, especially it's hobby section.
it's never good too see a forum fall, poor guys
Most of the various sundry forums I haunted have died or faded into obscurity with only a few regulars manning them. It's a shame, but forums seem to be going the way of Myspace or MSN. :/
Sorry for resurrecting this thread but I've been popping onto the Warseer site just to see if its changed since its outage. It turns out it seems to be lurching back to life, about a fortnight ago it went from a empty web address to a white page with a list of HTML links that linked to itself and now its got its layout back and is going under maintenance.
Thread necromancy is an important skill.
