sbarnby71 Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Been here since 2015, painted my first Space Marine 36 years ago. I also thought we had lost a few members over the past year or so. I tried to sign up to Instagram last week and it would not let me, not sure if it's because I'm 53 years old. Not sure if that makes me a Long Fang.

Mechanicus Tech-Support Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 (edited) Back in the day I had a warseer account but as an Eldar fanboy back then I only lurked here as it was still primarily a SM forum, I think I had an account created with the email I used for warseer but that's lost to the warp. Bit the bullet and made a new one in 2016 TLDR: Started lurking when I could barely grow facial hair...now there's white/grey in my beard Edited July 29 by Mechanicus Tech-Support Firedrake Cordova and Kurgan the Lurker 1 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hrvat Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 I have been around since early 2005 but my first account got lost in the warp. I still enjoy parts of the setting and miniatures but the direction in which the game had evolved left me behind.

Lay Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Apparently I've been here since '07. Damn. Then again, I've never been that active. I still use this place as my primary source for hobby news.

templargdt Posted July 29 Author Share Posted July 29 Yeah I have quite a few obsolete kits sitting in battlefoam now. It's really annoying thinking about the time and money that went into them.

Lexington Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Still lurking, my creaky old account dating back to the ancient days of 2006. Don't usefully play 40K anymore, but it's hard to break the habit, and I occasionally feel the pull of Orks or Space Marine models at the very least. This one's the last forum standing, as far as those I've ever frequented go. Sad to see, a concentrated place like this is infinitely better than the post-and-forget world of Reddit and various social media. Hey, all you other old timers.

Ramell Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Been registered here for 15 years as of today, though I lurked for a bit before signing up. The B&C is still the best place for 40k on the internet.

StratoKhan Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Joined in 2005. I still think forums are better for community interaction and recording/keeping thoughts/discussions than the waterfall style of Reddit/Discord etc where everything kind of drops away… the internet is a vastly changed landscape especially since smartphone use went mainstream. It’s been interesting coming back to the boards after a long hiatus - I think the user base and how people use the board has also changed.

Pacific81 Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Been a member since '04. Mostly play Epic and other specialist games now but there is a great community for those games down in the nether-regions of the forum. You definitely get a much better sense of community here than on most social media (FB, Reddit etc) but B&C has also managed to modernise much better than most other hobby forums - being so easily usable on a phone and taking some of the better elements of social media (the reaction button etc), I think that's helped it to keep that healthy community.

templargdt Posted August 1 Author Share Posted August 1 Maybe it's because I'm old now but I find reddit simply unusable for what I want. I love this place for a lot of reasons even though I don't really play any more, but I think this forum is incredibly functional and useful. It's so weird to me it seems so empty.

refuse Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 (edited) Joined 2000ish B&C says August 25, 2002. I think that was the migration to the latest "incarnation" of the server, when there was a big shut down and people had to log in, and recreate accounts. Been playing Since the 80s. Still have my copy of "Slaves to Darkness" from back then. I Still favorite armies from that book. 1) Emperor's Children 2) Beastman Imperial Guard 3) Grey Knights But I also love the Imperial Fists, and Genestealers (From the old White Dwarf, Compendium and Rogue Trader books). I stopped playing for 12+ years when I left B&C. Friends and I had an idea for terrain with 3d printing and some concepts with friends so dug out my old minis (and bought some new scouts) and tried to get my painting skills better. I will never be good, just not my thing, but I will keep trying. Genestealers (ala Cthulhu) Beastmen (of Slaanesh) Scouts of the III Gray Legion And Daemonettes with "rollers" for terrain. Trying to learn new things as I go. Only had to buy the Primaris Scouts (Kill Team), paints and rollers. Still have a pile of shame bits, though I have gotten rid of much over the 12 years. So still around, need to update the Emperorschildren.net, got out of supporting the website after chaos got boring post 4th. But 2 kids through college, lots of job changes, and more! So 22 years on and off at the B&C.
