Do you miss the Wargamers Guild?
« on: March 20, 2018, 07:37:04 PM »
I’m sure there are many ex Guilders and new members around here who are not aware of the new place, and would welcome the chance to join in with the community and cameraderie of the Old Guild.

The Wargamers' Forum is the new home.  Have a look and if you like what you see come and join in at http://thewargamersforum.com/

Already signed up and it seems to be very much like The Guild, at first take, perhaps even friendlier.

Either they're overwhelmed with tons of membership requests, or they've gotten lazy. Been waiting over two weeks for my membership to be approved.  :-[

To be completely honest, until the original post on this thread I’d never heard of it.

 :?

Had a quick look just now and it didn’t look particularly busy, so on those rare occasions I’ve got a bit of spare time I’ll be on here or failing that, probably Random Platypus.

First I'd heard of it, as well! Put an application in to join a few days ago, but nothing heard yet.

I used to be a member, and the WIP board and the various grand Guild games pictorials (especially Red Tide 2010, IIRC) are sorely missed.

I didn't register for the new one as there was some ruckus about it at the time and the Battlegroup forum was more relevant to my interests.

Well still nothing heard here after a week.  They're not very responsive to new member applications...

Same here. Received the auto reply to say a person has to authorise, then nothing.
Beginning to wonder if it is worth bothering.  The old Guild was none too appreciative of those of us who gamed WW2 in 6mm at the best of times.

It's probably because they know it's us...  ;)  o_o ;D

To be fair I had no problem re-registering. Sadly, in my 'umble opinion, it seems as abandoned as a cowboy town after the gold mine's conked out.

I'm inclined to believe that!  :D

Harry, does it have all the eye candy it once had? I know for 20mm modern stuff, it WAS unparalleled.
