Prof, first of thank you for all the effort you put into building this great community. I came here in 2006 after have been on plenty other fora (Frothers, Warseer, Dakka Dakka, to name a few) but had not yet found the place where it is as much about the joy of the miniature hobby in general as it is over here. After having followed you blogs for a while I stumbled upon LaF and immediatly felt at home.

I would like to spend more time over here as well, especially with regard to posting, but juggling RL time and hobby time also puts a limit on what I can do and I often end up merely browsing news and pretty pictures with occasionaly joining the LPL , so I understand you passing this on.

Nick, good luck! I'm sure you will do a proper job.
You did make me very curious though abouth the copplestone mini :D

Just want to add my thanks to Prof. W for starting and maintaining a fab forum full of friendly helpful people. Over the last 10 years I've seen some of the greatest examples of wargaming modelling, painting, scratch building and home-brewed rules. I've posted pics and recieved friendly and helpful commentary, I've asked for advice and been positively inundated with great hints and tips from the wonderful people who populate this place. Good luck to Northstar Nick with the beginning of his reign and long may this haven of internet sanity (relatively speaking of course) continue.

Professor, it's been a great pleasure enjoying your site. Ever since I found out about it I have been regularly checking it out at least once a day - it's my favorite wargame site ever. Thank you for doing a FANTASTIC job.

Cheers, and best of luck in the future!  This is my favorite online forum, by far, and I'm glad to see that it's going to stay in good hands!

First off, many thanks to the Prof for running this forum in the past, and to Nick for taking it onwards.

Couple of points:

1. I really only go to the Frostgrave sub-forum, so missed the announcement, and subsequent forum move - is it possible to make a "global" post so that others like me don't miss threads like this in the future (I know some forum types can).

2. Related to #1, I had the site bookmarked, specifically the Frostgrave sub-forum, which obviously stopped working, but there was nothing on the old address to tell me the site had moved or pointing to the new address, I assumed the site was down for maintenance, and only managed to get here by accident when I deleted the "/index.php?board=92.0" off my bookmark - is there any way to add that info to any old link?


(I've posted the move to our club page on Facebook, as I'm sure I'm not the only one caught out!)

I have been in my own little world for a while, and missed the announcement until yesterday (Neotacha never tells me anything).  Professor, thanks for creating and maintaining such a wonderfully informative and friendly site!  And I will take this opportunity to say thanks to all the moderators who have helped make this site the excellent one it is.

Nick, thanks for stepping up to keep the place running!  And additional thanks to the moderators and staff who are and will be assisting.

While I am at it, thanks to the extremely talented membership of this forum who have made it the gem of teh internets it is.

Alex, I look forward to still seeing you around.

-Michael
