BOLS frontpage and Faeit gone?

sounds good to me, PMs are best though, don't want the boys involved

Most probably wouldn't have all that much new to say about them anyway I'm guessing.

Ohhh this is troubling... Faeit was my only link newswise to the hobby anymore... and with Tabletop Fix taking preemptive measures, that's even MORE worrying. Seems like a massive shot in the foot by GW so far.

Not really no. GW's property, their right to defend it.

I wonder how many staff members have been sacked for leaking info? I bloody nearly was... and yup, my own stupid fault, on account of having been told 'leaking' stuff to the Interwebs is a sackable offence. But hey ho, worked out well for me.

This is all very true, but i'm lamenting the loss of the hobby material more than anything. I'm perfectly fine with GW defending their IP etc, especially against those dumb enough to still be poking the trigger happy giant in the eye and expecting to get away with it. Still quite worried with Faeit though. BoLS at least seemed to have enough clout or something in the blog community to outlast this sort of thing - self sufficient just from the forum, even before the blog itself. Faeit's quite diddy by comparison. <br>Btw - christ its been a long time since I posted here... I've forgotten how to make new paragraphs!

[Mr Mystery]

Meh. Brought it on themselves I'm afraid.

To stretch a metaphor (and to be fair to Faiet, I've not seen him playing the martyr anywhere) it's akin being expected to give sympathy to say a white supremacist who has just walked into the Black Panthers all-in wrestling competition, and hurled abuse. There was only one way it was going to end, and that's being splatted. Now, bear in mind, I did say I was stretching the metaphor (for comic affect).

GW feel it's beneficial to restrict rumourage. Nobody here has the numbers they do, and as such, idle speculation is idle.

It's also akin to claiming they are only losing gamers. Prove it. There is anecdotal evidence at best. Yes, sales volumes are down. Significantly down? Dunno. Not seen the data. Does that data take into account other changes, like previously '5 to a box' metal/finecast going to '10 to a box' plastic? Dunno. I've not seen it. And ultimately, nor has anyone else.
