It breaks my heart to see what has become of this site. [Not Sep7 >.>]

Not sep7agon obviously, but this place http://www.blacklibrary.com/

40k shit and bitter old fan time so if neither of those things are your thang then you can go <_<

The very first forum I ever joined was here, then they burned it all down. One day I woke up and they'd literally just torched the whole thing, all the fanfictions people had written and the community was just gone like that *clicks*.

But at least they still sold books and posters and other merchandise, so it was alright.

Except that's no longer the case. They sell maybe 20 actual books on a bookshop website, instead it's all Ebooks (The heresy of this place calling itself a library makes me cry) and MP3s. Sold at paperback/hardback RRP too.

Can I find any of the Cain Novels? Nope, they canned them apparently.
Can I find any of the Inquisition books; Ravenor and Eisenhorn etc? Pfft fuck no.
What about anything other than fucking generic space marine battles #21312434? LOL no.

So now I have to get all of my books through amazon or pray that Waterstones sometimes has the one I'm looking for.

Now one of the more embittered theories as to why the Cain novels and the Inquisition ones have vanished is because of the whole 13th black crusade retconn. Where they quietly just undid any references to it ever having taken place because they didn't like how it played out (Global Campaign that ended in a stalemate a few years ago)

*sigh*

And they are still trying to tempt me back with the promise of Mechanicus figurines, which is working but it seems that GW and it's affiliates just get worse and worse every bloody year.

One of my favourite authors wrote a 40k novel: Eye of Terror. It was pretty decent. Imaginative.

So I bet that isn't available. Hm?

This one right?

Given how I can't even find a paperback version of First and Only, I would really doubt that GW/BL have this in print anymore :/

I think revision has got to me today, on my break now and clicked on the website only to laugh at the word "Assasssinorum".

OT though, I've had a similar experience with the old EAUK forums when I was getting into BC2 and later BF3. Stopped lurking there for maybe a month and said my hello's, only for it to be closed down (many "vets" of that place insisting because of the negativity towards BF3 in there and to spread the plague that is Battlelog). Most of them kinda shifted towards other games like ArmA after their distaste, though I can't say too much against BF myself.

Many just left and created their own offsite in the same way Cheat has here, although a few years on, that place is kinda dying out too. Not that that is a sign of our future here or anything.
