Hey guys, I am in no way affiliated with the site that I am linking and not even sure if if it will last, but I do like to try to grow the gaming community. Not to mention it is a great web site address. In fact, I learned of Bell of Lost Souls from that forum! Anyway, check it out below and let them know what you think!

Yeah, I saw this site linked on Coolmini, and I found the forum horrible to try to read with that background and font combo. Also I don't want to join a community that's going to get C&D'd for a URL like that - it's asking for trouble.

Never really gave the C&D a thought. I persoannly did not think the background was that bad, but on second check the red lettering was a bit rough. You should post your thoughts and give them some feedback. People really do put a lot of time and effort into projects like that, it is the least we can do.

GW can not C&D the site as 40K is a radio frequency that is how 40K radio got away with it. The term has a longer meaning related to radios than gaming

That was actually me. Besides, saying that is like saying "Seems like BoLS is posting stuff from Warseer or DakkaDakka or whatever." That kind of stuff happens all over. Originally Posted by dagonis

I just happen to notice their banner on CMON one day and thought that the 40k.com address was pretty slick. I may be over thinking this part, but I am guessing that whoever is running this site had to pay for it and if that is true then either he/she this they are going to make $$$ from it OR they just have a passion for the hobby. I prefer to believe the later, but that may be the optimist in me! Originally Posted by BuFFo

Personally, I think original content would be better and bit of thought around the structure of the site would be useful. I find most Blogs that receive or publish the majority of their info. from other more established blogs as tedious. Get some articles about gaming up there, photos of your armies, table etc. Also, an original idea behind the blog would be useful to know, inthe 'about' section. A case of saying your helping to propagate the scene is just not worth the time and effort put in. If it was about how you enjoy the hobby and why and illustrate with a pofussion of pictures and illustrations that would be far more interesting and would actually expand the community and the message of the hobby......
Therefore in the words of Dragons in "Dragons Den"....I'm out.
