So you are accurate a little more than half the time, yet feel comfortable saying this: 

 

all the best to you.

 

"You mean BoLS rumours?

Lol.

Their "rumours" are wishlisting and their "contents" bulloks .."

 

Hey, whatever floats your boat and all, and you certainly have a following, but personally I'd go for a bit more tact and a little less ego.

 

but what do I know after all?

? i have a 100% accurancy so far, and they didnt even tracked stuff before cult came out?

 

really dont get that argument, and I think the whole discussion is kind of unnecessary tbh

 

believe me or not, that BoLS rumour is garbage :)

Mis-read that on my phone screen, so you got an 100% accurate rating. Apologize for the mistake

 

Awesome. Great work there.

 

Doesnt excuse the tude.

 

And I agree, BoLS is a joke site. but I am not going to talk down to somebody over it.

no worries ^^ these filthy phones (i hate it to post a thread with it haha)

 

thing is, i dislike made up stuff for clickbait .... ppl believe it and get dissapointed - just seems unfair.

 

we had this steve the warboss guy, atleast his stuff was funny and build a bit of hype haha :)

When you spend inconceivable quantities of time/space devoting to rumour sifting, and catering to sources,  it does get personal when some other party just randomly blurt out content and fallacies just for the sake of having something to say. It belittles the seriousness of what you do and reflects badly on the reporting field.

 

I would defend it just the same in Atia's shoes. If you ain't got nothin' to say, keep it that way. 

I'm with WLK on this one. It's ridiculous some of the responses and belittling you guys have done. One, there are far better ways you could have said that stuff. For example, "That would be cool, but I don't think it will happen. BoLS isn't exactly known for their accuracy."

 

Two, when you start off with the responses you have started with, it makes other people not want to communicate. You guys are ridiculous. 

 

Three, yes, most of us might think BoLS is just click bait, but when you do stuff like this, it kind of shoots the community. Some people won't see an issue with this internet drama, but others will go, "Well, that community just :cusss on other people like that. Wow, friendly place." And they will leave. Guess where they will likely go?

Please understand that I think there is a severe issue with tone here. 

As in  the tone of a lot of the posts is being misinterpreted to be excessively hostile.

The fact of the matter is BOLS is a bad website that offers little in the way of credible news and often is hours if not days behind the curve. It is a site that guys even at local shops laugh at as far as credibility goes. ( I kid you not at Games and Gizmos in Redmond we often talk about the ridiculously bad articles on that site and the toxic commentary sections.  If you honestly think  the stuff said in here was remotely harsh I invite you to go read the comments on a hotly debated article on BOLS and prepare to cringe yerself into a coma) 

In the same breath  Atia  and the people over at BB  do a ton of work  to provide us with information both in the sense of credible rumors and front line Forgeworld event reporting.   IT IS A LOT OF WORK.  Appreciated sometimes but underappreciated most of the time.  They make sure we get pictures they ask questions to the folks at the events.  And Atia usually is ahead of GW and FW  with whats coming out to the point where we are rarely surprised.  

I would be hard pressed to look at BOLS as a bastion of the community. Places like the Bolter and Chainsword is far more of a conducive place to learn and find likeminded hobbyists than the comments section of what amounts to a tabloid.  

also please understand that  I am not attacking you or WLK  for the positions you  are taking I just think  that we needa see that just because it has trees dont make something a forrest ( It could be a thicket? )   Atia has a right to be a bit hostile toward a site that is either misleading or just straight up wrong or lifts the information she presents and posts it on their site without crediting her back just like if I saw pictures of my poorly painted models showing up somewhere I didint put them id be heated for what its worth arrogance and tone are never a thing  properly conveyed via text so lets all just chill out a bit 

Also something something  Burn the witch something something honor  and duty  something something templar and zeal. 

Let me make this clear, I do not care a single bit about the bell of lost souls website. Say whatever you want about the site, I do not care.

 

What I do care about is the nature of our site. We have higher standards than any website related to this hobby. So again, I don't care how they talk or what they post on other websites. What I care about is that each member of this forum is shown respect, which I personally feel has been lacking in this thread.

 

We prove that we are the better place by being the better place. We be respectful to one another at all times.

 

That's all I'm gonna say in this thread.

And with that little interlude settled, lets get back on topic smile.png

Yeah, but it's a rumour thread without a rumour.

BoLS isn't a trustworthy enough page for this to be regarded as rumours. Sure, there might be coming plastic heresy, it's actually quite likely that they someday will release more plastic...but I don't believe for a second that BoLS actually has a credible source for that...

Well anyway rumours are rumours no matter where they come from. For me I hope there is a little bit of truth in it. In South Africa where I am from we are trying to grow the hobby and recently in 30k, but with 25 rand to the pound this is problematic. A small amount of resin from forgeworld can cost me an entire months salary whilst the plastic from GW takes it down to 25%. This makes it far more accessible for us down here. With the success of Betrayal at Calth, I do find it hard to believe there wont be any growth into 30k from GW. With how they like to milk the hobbiest, it is inevitable there will be more ! 

Asked, answered, and we're done.

 

Whether interpreted incorrectly or not, I don't like the tone and attitude being expressed by some of the members in here. As WLK phrased earlier, it doesn't matter what you think of another website, but at the B&C, we don't approve of trash talking. Don't let me find any of you acting like this again in my forum.
