Kua Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 The last time I had Space Marines laying on my desk, it was there and active. It might have been a while, but still. I don’t even find an explanation what happened or when it disappeared by googleing… Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/334719-what-happened-to-sons-of-corax-forum/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claws and Effect Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Never heard of it. And given the lack of response I'm guessing the same for the other guys. Wish I'd known about it, but I've only been back in the hobby for about a year now so it might not have done me any good.

SyNidus Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 The last time I had Space Marines laying on my desk, it was there and active. It might have been a while, but still. I don’t even find an explanation what happened or when it disappeared by googleing… I founded it and managed it for a few years, but after i started my degree i handed the reins over to some other members of the moderator team. I assume as time went on activity dwindled to the point that it was no longer maintained and inactive. You'll find a few members from there over here (Race Bannon, Vash, a few others as well). That being said, the B&C has been a great home for the sons of corax. Especially here in these subforums i'm glad that we've been so focussed on tactical discussions that we're spared the kind of whinging i see in other places.

Filius Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 What happend there, if I may ask? *snip* That being said, the B&C has been a great home for the sons of corax. Especially here in these subforums i'm glad that we've been so focussed on tactical discussions that we're spared the kind of whinging i see in other places. Plus: I'd give you 10.000 likes for the "that we're spared the kind of whinging i see in other places", if I could.

Plus: I'd give you 10.000 likes for the "that we're spared the kind of whinging i see in other places", if I could. What happened? Well nothing out of the ordinary...just the tea and crumpets, fancy hats and assorted goodness one would expect from a Raven Guard forum. Tactical discussions were deep and varied there. Good stuff. Anyway, when things started getting busier for me IRL, i spent less and less time at the forum, subsequently i gave power to other more active members but in time they too must have left. We didn't have enough traffic to support a singular forum, not without active participation from the moderation team. As for the whinging...well, as i said, i'm glad the RG forums are spared from it and so was the Sons of Corax forums. I'd like to think it's because there's more discussion on possibilities rather than what "works or not". I think this is especially important in the coming 8th Edition, from my games thus far it seems like the kind of auto-play netlists of 7th ed will be no more and players will actually need to have tactical acumen to win, rather than just bringing the sort of list which plays itself.

Claws and Effect Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Actual tactical acumen needed? GOOD. I have to confess to looking forward to the whining from players of certain factions when they realize they aren't autowin against certain other factions anymore.

Ahhh … now I understand … it was a own Forum, like with an own Domain and an own System! At first I thought this was also a subforum here. Sorry, for being a bit slow with the understanding here … "a penny is no dive bomber", as my Grandma always said … Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/334719-what-happened-to-sons-of-corax-forum/#findComment-4784194 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kua Posted June 15, 2017 Author Share Posted June 15, 2017 Alright, thanks for the explanation. I’ll regard this forum then as the obvious hire. But what is everyone meaning by whinging?

SyNidus Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 No a penny is not, but throw it hard enough it'll hurt all the same ;) Kua, whinging i.e. To complain/whine.

Kua Posted June 15, 2017 Author Share Posted June 15, 2017 I know how to use dictionary, thanks. ^^ I just have the suspicion that different people call this way different behaviour they don’t like, that’s why I’m asking what whinging you are thinking of.
