Seriously, what sort of manufacturer thinks that their interests are being served by crushing fan forums??
This is the lowest thing I've seen GW do.
It's not like the specialist games forum is any decent sort of replacement, since it didn't even exist for an extended period. If they can't provide a decent forum, why go to such lengths to remove the most successful one that exists in the community?
Are they actively trying to cripple their own bloodbowl sales?
