I can feel that I am stepping on some peoples social interactions.. I wouldn't want that to happen to me when I am out with my friends, so I will stop questioning the need for "Adult only" sections.. Just consider if this forum really needs a section that is more adult than the underhive..? Because some of the stuff in that sub forum really is quite adult already.. I'll keep doing what I do and keep answering all the PM's from members who wants help with their "basic table top gaming".. As will I, along with PMs about fluff, or how to find the cheapest prices for minis, or a bunch of other gaming stuff, and non-gaming related stuff. Don't make the mistake of thinking it's an "either or" deal when it comes to a gaming forum vs a social forum. If you want pure gaming though, I'm sure there's room for another member at Bolter and Chainsword. Also, I'd be careful about saying the older members don't contribute to army lists or the like for a few reasons. First, since you joined in 2010, you weren't here when, as Req said, many of us DID do that kind of thing. Go back and search the older pages of the list thread, you'll see myself, Ymmot, Envoy, and Armstrong all responding to lists. I, for one, stopped doing that for a couple reasons, but mostly because a few members (like yourself) joined that were very, very good at it and seemed to enjoy giving feedback, and also because I didn't feel like keeping pace with the metagame of 5th Ed (I've been more interested in playing for fun). Also, some older members, like Westrider, still DO provide gaming advice. Lastly, I'd be careful about making a statement like that because it comes across as somewhat condescending (and I know that wasn't your intention). Incidentally, I'll send you the comms center password via PM so you can poke around there and see what goes on in there now (hint: It's not much...) Reds

I'm still learning with 6th, you have been very helpful in that respect krasimirova, I answer rules related questions when I can, that is because I can read and trust in my ability to comprehend what I have read...but currently I have no business giving advice for army lists or tactics because my knowledge in such matters is outdated and I am still catching up.
To many of us this forum is about more than that, there is camaraderie and friendship between some of us, others seek advice from trusted opinions about matters other than toy soldiers on tabletops, I'm not sure why or how it happened, but for some of us there is a community here and it is open to anyone that wishes to participate. As it is the Comm Center hardly ever gets used...but it does serve a purpose from time to time, such as when it came time to vote for mods...and that's about it really. Oh, and manicorns...and pictures of dolls in inappropriate poses. yeah...like I said, I've been putting weird stuff in there already...otherwise I do not particularly censor myself, well..I do, but that's just kind of part of my personality...online and in person.

I'm more of a modeller than a painter or gamer, but I'll get involved in a thread if it involves something I have a lot of in my armies. Rough riders and heavy weapon teams come to mind. And the random deathstrike that's either very good or very bad in games.. the basilisks of old were just better. I still haven't played 6th yet, so I'll reserve judgement till I do.

I guess I qualify as an "old one" at this time so I consent to the idea of miking it a little bit harder to get into the Comm centre but turning up the heat there.
And I have also stopped giving advice and stuff, but still enjoy this community.

This may anger a few, but I've always considered the Comm Centre to be a place the 'Old Ones' of the forum can go to post things that are truly, truly meaningful. The Comm Centre password should be handed out only to those who have proven to not be douche bags. Members that are in good standing and such. This is laughable:D "post things that are truly meaningfull" seriously..? This is a 40K forum, people come here for advice, to read and learn from other peoples experience.. Why shouldn't truly meaningfull posts be available to everybody..? It is surprisingly few of "the old ones" that actually help out in the army list section and with questions asked by new members as well as old ones.. We have just experienced a new edition, we should ALL be out there enjoying the game that this forum is based on!.. What I find is that "the old ones" are spending most of their time on "none 40K related" posts with a questionable amout of "meaningfullness".. Hell there is even some of them openly declaring that 40K is a bad game, which in it self is a joke.. And who's job would it be to decide who is too much of a douche to enter your little playground..? Members that are in good standing..? By whos standard..? Now ofcause I couldn't care less about this elitism, since I never really go out of the armylist / strategi / advice threads anyway.. But saying that a closed part of the forum will contain "things that are truly, truly meaningful" is just silly.. Now this post will most likely be edited by an admin on a internet powertrip.. So I'll just leave it as long as it is allowed to stay.. Until then i'll be helping out with the transition from 5th to 6th that alot of our communities players are facing.. Good gaming to you all... Kras.. You didn't read the post where Reds said 'thank you' to the community in the Comm Centre did you, because that was meaningful? To me at least. And to say you don't care about the elitism is bullnuts. If you didn't care you wouldn't have posted. Man, Kras I really expected a more adult response from you. That post felt like a personal attack. I guess I was right when I said 'it may anger a few'...

To Rook, I am sorry that you felt it as a personal insult, it wasn't my intention to direct the post at anybody specific.
And No i havn't seen Reds "Thank you" post, if i had my response would properbly have been different. I won't take responsebility for not reading a specific post, since none of us read all the posts on this forum..
I don't care for elitism in any situation except in a technocracy, I was under the impression that this closed off part of the forum was used in a game related way (Yes I am alot about the game, but i respect that other people use this forum for a wider range of topics) I see the error in this assumption now, but at the time it wasn't clear. (ei closed part of forum..) Reason I said I didn't care was basically that I feel that I have a okay grasp on the game and that this was enough for me to help other members; read in conjuction with the above..
Again Rook, and everbody els who might feel my post as a attack, but primarily you Rook, I am sorry..
I misunderstood..
Kras..

You tell it like it is. Thanks for the apology. I woke up this morning thinking "there's no way Kras has anything against me, why would he?" Again, you are an asset to this board, and thank you.

Just consider if this forum really needs a section that is more adult than the underhive..? Because some of the stuff in that sub forum really is quite adult already.. That was rather the point Kras. Separating the (possibly) NSFW stuff out to make policing the Underhive easier. I just came here for the hawt babes. Stuff like this. Inanity. The internet has enough of that. Also, 40K is a bad game. Beautiful universe, nice models, inept rules writers. Fun? Absolutely, all games can be fun when played with the right crowd. Also, go back...to '07-'08-'09 for my Army List posting. Nowadays, I really can't comment as I don't play much 40K or indeed much in the way of wargames (with most of my modelling kit being in storage.)

I think in a nutshell RT wants to suck off the Underhive's layer of scum and spit it out into the Comm Centre.
I think the real question is about accessibility. If it really isn't elitist then anyone who asks for the password can get it. If it is then it is by invite only.

Since RT clearly has a better idea of his plans for the comms center, you can direct all password requests to him.

The prophecies just said Reds would bring balance to the IGMB, with no mention of any anatomical miracles.
