Ben

Thanks for the update Chris! Looking forward to this one

The reason is a financial one. This site still does not pay for itself. It's funded entirely by me, helped by donations and sponsors. Costs (From the software and hosting provider) and are based on the number of currently viewing members over a 24 hour period. i.e. currently, on average, at any one time we have between 300-400 users on the site, 24 hours a day. This is in addition to AWS Amazon media hosting and the email provider too. its roughly £350-400 per month As subforms are added, and they go behind a login I am hoping that the registered users will become more likely to be ongoing members of the community, and possibly help support the community rather than viewers from afar. Also, it's easier to show sponsors that we have xxx logged in and active members. If people are not interested in being members of our community then they will not visit as and the hosting costs may come down. I would prefer an amazing community with 100 active members that really support each other and love what we are all building here, over 60,000 casual readers (this is our unique monthly visitor figures) I will also be putting Google Adsense display ads all over the site that will be visible to only non-logging in users. I'm not a fan of this as it doesn't look great, but with more logged in users it will Its still free for members, its just going to need a log-in to access parts of the site.

Is it on now?

Morning all. Further to this trial I have changed the way the 'Order' forum is displayed. You now get: -Order - List of Sub forums -Order , Cities, so on.... I have also added a Stormcast Subforum as this is the next largest faction. At the moment I don't think we need a sub form for every faction (around 50 in total!) but the larger ones can be split off. I will continue to trial this in Order, but will roll it out to other Grand Alliances soon. I think Death might be next as they are distinct factions in FEC, NH, OBR and teh rest in Mixed Death forum. I have also restricted subforms to members. You can see the forum but need to be logged in to view.

I just want to say a huge thanks to everyone who attended Blood and Glory this year. We had a cracking time and hope everyone else did too. The winners are:

Thanks to everyone who cam to this! The armies and tables looked amazing.

thanks, i'll look into this.

What's your game face? Blood and Glory 2019, It's going to be Awesome. Don't miss out get your tickets here ..... https://bloodandglory.baddice.co.uk/shop/ #BloodandGlory #ageofsigmar #Warhammer #gamesworkshop #warhammeraos #warhammerageofsigmar #AoS #GW #40k #paintingwarhammer #paintingforgeworld #painting #chaos #order

I based mine as soon as AoS was released. No guidance from GW. I though they look ridiculous on 25mm's so went with 32.

Mine are all on 32mm

If only some had asked what changes the community would like to see....

This is what i'm not sure on. I don't want 100's and 100's of subforms everywhere, then again, a big lists of Order sub forums will clog up the order discussions thread. Its possible that 'Order' will become a container for Order Discussion forum, Cities Forum, xxx nation forum and so on.

Good spot! Moved now, thanks.
