templargdt Posted Tuesday at 01:49 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 01:49 AM Just wondering how many guys around here are like myself and joined the forum way back when but are still a part of it. Lots of folks I knew seem to have moved on. Lots of the forums seem pretty empty these days. Is everyone just on reddit?

MithrilForge Posted Tuesday at 01:57 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 01:57 AM Still here I guess Old Timers would be anywhere from 2010 and back... I trawled here for a bit then joined here in 04... Some Frater probably weren't even born then ! M roryokane, Firedrake Cordova, LameBeard and 4 others 1 6 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuskRaider Posted Tuesday at 02:25 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:25 AM I’ve been here since 2007 and still going, though I haven’t gamed much in a while. Cenobite Terminator, templargdt and MithrilForge 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Antipodes Posted Tuesday at 04:13 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 04:13 AM Been here officially since 2003, but had an earlier, lost, login before that. Gaming is now a thing of the past as my circle moved on over the journey. Mainly painting and reading nowadays. Still love the setting though, and the B&C is the only hobby related site I still frequent on a consistent basis.

Domhnall Posted Tuesday at 08:40 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 08:40 AM Been here since 2010 (into 40k since mid 90's), and on pretty much every day for a nosey. I don't post all that much but like to see what's going on. It's still one of the more active forums that I'm part of (not just hobby related).

Karhedron Posted Tuesday at 08:55 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 08:55 AM I have been here since 2014 but I moved from Portent/Warseer where I had been for a long time before that. As for the hobby, I have been here since 1st edition. MithrilForge and WAR 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sete Posted Tuesday at 10:03 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 10:03 AM Been for a few years,but my kid was born same week of Black Templars release almost 3 years back. So my new neophyte takes priority. Think by the end of the year I'll be back in the hobby at 100% again. templargdt 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Argent Posted Tuesday at 10:06 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 10:06 AM Been here since 08. I've had a few quiet times over that period but I'm still here. templargdt, Lysimachus and MithrilForge 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Neverborn Posted Tuesday at 10:14 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 10:14 AM I'm a 2010 joiner. I actually used the forum before that time though. I actually found this forum when it was mentioned on the games workshop website back before it was just a storefront. I'm paraphrasing, but I recall it said something along the lines of "Now head over to bolter and chainsword, one of the oldest warhammer fan sites and get a second opinion on your army list". At the time the site looked like this, that was back in 2003. https://web.archive.org/web/20030408021042/http://www.gamesworkshop.com/40kuniverse/40kuniverse.htm MithrilForge, Firedrake Cordova and templargdt 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machine God Posted Tuesday at 11:18 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:18 AM I joined in January 2009. I haven't gamed since the beginning of 8th Ed, its mainly painting or adding to the Pile of Shame. Reading up on newer 40k fluff. Migrated from the Iron Hands sub-forum when Primaris hit and I now can be found posting in the 40K Roleplaying Games / Play by Post sub-forum. @Lysimachus is my Moderati.

Progenitor Posted Tuesday at 11:26 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:26 AM Been here since 2006, not always, as have been off and on over the years but B&C is one of the 40k forums I've spent most time lurking in, especially after noping out come 7th edition and then coming back for 8th. I played Dark Eldar back then but have since come back to my Imperial roots. MithrilForge 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doghouse Posted Tuesday at 11:37 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:37 AM A few still linger in these hallowed halls. I think the social media landscape has changed significantly in recent years with the rise of the likes of Facebook or discord or Reddit meaning the old forums had faded into history for the most part. B&C has done really well to last this long. I started here sometime around 1999/2000 when the board moved to Ezboard for hosting and have seen many many faces that are familiar to me come and go. I think I am the hobby equivalent of Rylanor. Firedrake Cordova, MithrilForge, templargdt and 3 others 4 1 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firedrake Cordova Posted Tuesday at 11:37 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:37 AM (edited) I joined back in 2002(!), back in the EzBoard days. I still prefer the forum format to Discord/Reddit ...

Ahzek451 Posted Tuesday at 11:49 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:49 AM Was mainly on portent/warseer back then and lurked here at the time. Eventually joined officially in 2012. Been in the hobby since late 2nd edition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovemberIX Posted Tuesday at 11:49 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:49 AM I dunno if I'm an oldtimer, but I have been here 12 years (14 if we count the lurking before I joined), it's interesting to see who's come and gone, and who's still here. I know a couple of people that were on the forum that are no longer but still gaming. Lysimachus 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJB Posted Tuesday at 12:25 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 12:25 PM Hah, just checked - I joined in 2002 22 years and I still have no idea what chapter I want to paint... MithrilForge, The Yncarne, templargdt and 6 others 1 8 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysimachus Posted Tuesday at 12:29 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 12:29 PM (edited) I'm not sure of the exact date I joined, but it's got to be around 2002/2003? Edit: very odd. My profile says joined 2007, but I'm sure I was on the board well before my son was born (in mid-2006)...? Oh well, maybe my oldtimer brain is playing tricks on me, even if it was 2007 that's still a pretty long time! I very, very rarely play, but I still paint when the mood takes me, and the Play-by-Post Subforum here on the B+C is my favourite place to hang out!
