My cousin sent me here when I was just getting started with 40k.

**Wolfun**

Google. <3

**Yggdrasil**

[other] : I don't remember.

**btemple0**

I was looking for pictures of painted SW for building and painting ideas

**loranafaeriequeen**

People I know told me about it.

**sgtpjbarker**

The big guy at my local game store said. You should post your army on Dakka Dakka, let others enjoy it. I hope they are as much as I enjoy all of theirs.

**SilverMK2**

I think I was looking for painting tips/tutorials on google.

**Waricck**

I had heard of it from a friend, but I had seen it a couple of times in web searches but clicked on other sites.

**ChronoCupcake**

I found it whilst deliberately looking for a 40k forum / message board community on the net, it was either this or heresy online which seemed pretty suck in comparison.

**Happygrunt**

Searched "Warhammer 40k forum" First link. Ran with it.

**boyd**

a friend of mine told me about this place and portent.com about 15 years ago. Not a fan of the new portent forums but I think that was the *new* management that took over the place. its still the best place to find rumors, but has too much drivel there as well. I still prefer Dakka even though I rarely post.

what they said. specifically gorechild's one. I thought I was a regular, daily dakkaite, until I saw people who've been here half as long as me with twice as many posts...I gotta get posting...

**Morathi's Darkest Sin**

I can't really remember, probably just looking for something 40K related.

I didn't have net access until late 2002, and I believe I found the site either late 2002/early 2003, and began posting by late 2003. I know I lurked for nearly a year before I posted.

Oh and this is my third account, first was Captain_Reaper, lost to the mists of time when the site switched over to those orrid boards for a while. Then I was fuzzy_spiral, which I lost my sign in info for when I moved to Suffolk in 2006. (It's still here, I'd transfered it over from the other board) so when I finally got settled in Suffolk after pulling nearly Seven day shifts all through 2007, (family buisness, first year equals ugly) I created MDS, mainly as I'd been using it over at Seer.

**Devastator**

found link in sotu and ended here

**oni**

I was searching Google specifically for a 40K related forum. Dakka looked like it had a decent amount of traffic.

I've joined numerous other forums over the years, but I always found myself coming here as the other forums became bland. I've now pretty much renounced all other forums.

**Cable**

I have followed a number of game sites in the past year or so. Enjoy the painting/converting aspect of the hobby and usually follow these types of posts. Also keep up with various "new and rumors" posts.

DakkaDakka was my first website choice to join!

**hungryp**

I followed Google here. It led me to the "Simple Two-Piece Mold for Casting with Resin" article, and after looking around the rest of the forums, I decided to stick around.

**Ma55ter_fett**

I was trying to find gameing groups in my area useing da google... had no luck finding one before I was back off to university, but gots lots of links to this site (lots of groups in MN but none round about me).

So I lurked and I lurked and behold...

**Arrias**

I googled for 'green stuff' and 'conversion' and found a thread in dakka forums that glued me to the computor. Been here since

**djphranq**

Heard about it from a podcast.

**Element206**

was googling pictures of 40k armys and some of the pics on this website caught my eye (thanks RAFF).

**rzsanguine**

I found this site while looking for similar sites.

This.

**kronk**

Found out about it from Bolter and Chainsword.

**Just Dave**

Saw it as a link on Lexicanum under their supported sites.

First and only Forum I've ever joined.

**Sturmtruppe**

If memory serves me correctly, I think somebody was handing out buttons with the web address on them at Games Day 2000 in Baltimore.

**sarge stokes**

via 40k radio

**Kid_Kyoto**

A link from www.thewarp.net, probably around 1999.

**Ribon Fox**

Found this place when looking for conversion ideas for me IG, so glad that google found it for me

**Dainty Twerp**
