When has BoLS 40K become so popular?

[HsojVvad]

I have been away for a long while. Basically took a long break from the hobby. Getting back slowly. Too slowly since I don't have anything done.

I am shocked to see how many people frequent BoLS. I know it's mostly for rumours, but if I remember correctly, that is why people when to Whineseer I mean Warseer. Now while they have bigger numbers than while BoLS use to have when I was here, it's now where in the 1000's or 2000's like it use to be. What happened?

I am so glad BoLS is doing strong. I am just shocked to see the tide change so much. Is there a reason for this? What did I miss?

It could be due to other gaming communities shrinking or other bussiness. Also it doesn't help if said sites referance this and others.

The breakneck 40k release schedule this year has probably helped. There can't be many weeks where there's not been any rumours or discussions of rumours, or new things and discussions of new things.

the rest of the blogosphere went to ****, and bols is pretty much one of the few sites left.

sadly the massive size, and more new people is making it worse

There is also an upswing of non-40k news or rumours occuring in that section

1. BoLS has become a source of news, so people are starting to flock over here to see it.
2. Some of the other sites have had outages, and people started to come over this way to get their fix.
3. A concerted effort to make this a friendly place.
