Trying to task people to not be angry about it is like trying to get people to not think about a red ball. Too late.
So If you got some pent up shitposting that is screaming to get out like a Legion Inccubus go nuts. Do it here and leave general for #reasonablediscusion
Only restriction is to try and steer your unbridled rage and unmitigated hate away from personal attacks against individuals. Individuals actions is fair game AFAIK. If you can't help yourself then please use "PPS_Strawman" as your target. It's his fault anyway. No seriously he's a total jerk.
Mk1 Page 5 rules apply.

Ok, anger management...nice I needed this.
Dear PPS_Strawman,
For a long time I was and still is subscribed to your forum. Even if I didn't post a lot, I was there almost everyday day for the last 4 years. Oh the amount of incredible advice and useful tactic I learned from the numerous forum member. Weekly I would take that knowledge and furiously beat the crap out of my friend in mindboggling duel of will, strategy, guts and metal.
As the saying goes "knowledge is half the battle". The other half is PAGE 5. That's how you win (I should know I ended second and fourth on my last Steamroller). Yet, you killed page 5 with MKIII...hmmm... that shouldn't hurt too much you still have knowledge. Oh, wait, not anymore you just killed the faction and general forum too.
What the hell man? Now you're stuck with an empty head and no plan to live through the fight! Poor Holden got nothing to look forward if you drive him like this. "Courage or Coward?". More like "Tolerate Criticism or Alienated Fan?"
I want to vent steam, to be angry at you and curse my head off at you. But the fact is, I love this game. I have a lot of great moment with my friends playing it. So what I have to say to you is what you told us from the birth of Warmachine.
"Play like you've got a pair." Stop opting out. Do not disappoint us. GIT GUD!

posting this now: Haight has said that a certain staff member is in no way responsible for the forum issues, and that the crackdown is very uncharacteristic of them. Keep your stawmen straight, and your fingers away from actual people  |

Dear PPS_Strawman.
Why the actual [Censored] have you cancelled you Pressganger system so very close to re-organising your forums.
Don't you know how short sighted that it makes you appear to be?
Aren't you worried that people will take the two (hopefully) separate events and link them together and claim that you're turning int GW?
Don't you think that people will see that you've 'streamlined' your forums and dropped the press gang and think that you no longer care about the community of your game?
OK PPS_Strawman, I know that it's your company to do with as you will, but please remember that trust and positive perception are not infinite resources, and squandering them in this way only serves to make you look like you're unsure about what you want to achieve.

Honestly, that's the weirdest thing about it, in my opinion. When they did the Free Rider policy (yay, now it's super expensive to buy WarmaHordes in my country) they *very* quickly announced Mk3. That felt like the "spoonful of sugar" to help distract from their less popular policy. But, with this, it's just two bad things at once: stop saying bad things about us, also, all those people who say good things about us, you can go away. . . .  They go on about LGS being where all the community will congregate and what-not, but that's only good if you're in a place that *has* those, and, there's no guarantee that they'll push PP stuff over something more profitable (looking at you, Magic.) At least GW has their own dang stores that push their product and only their product. What does PP have now? |

I guarantee PP did not choose to ax the PG program, they were forced to (very likely due to legal ramifications from an ongoing case regarding the use of volunteers for organizing Magic events). Nobody's happy about it, but I'm sure it couldn't be helped. It's unfortunate that PP has to remain circumspect in their communication about this as well, but that too can't be helped. For what it's worth, every PG I've spoken with feels treated as fairly as was possible given the situation. It sucks, but it's not a complete catastrophe either: most ex-PGs will just keep doing what they've been doing and PP will still try to support event organizers, they just can't do it with an official volunteer program. |

Yeah, someone offered to help run practice games at Adepticon. He was told that he was not legally allowed to do so, or more accurately that PP wasn't allowed to let him.

Dear PPS_Strawman,
Why didn't you allow give the Khadoran community enough time to archive the KGB's? You have pretty much obliterated a large amount of effort by the authors to share their knowledge and experience with others. A large number of writeups were very beneficial to newbies who were just entering the game (like me) and allowed development of ideas for lists.
Also... Why remove page 5 from subsequent rulebooks? Its what made Warmahordes diff from other games.

PPS_Srawnan:
Killing the faction community forums was a mistake. Yes, I will freely admit that Khador was better than most because somehow that's just how we did things. Yes, it's somewhat personal as this killed what was perhaps the single most awesome thread in the history of PP Forums. However, I played other forums and when asking questions on how to proceed with list building, the other members were happy to offer advice when solicited, steer a new faction player from familiar pitfalls, and give suggestions based on directions desired, and this was all on the official forums. It was a familiar central place.
In the end I believe you've thrown the baby out with the bathwater, and told us that you never liked the baby anyways.
Respectfully,
Crazy Uncle Doug
