Yes, but the News page isn't too bad! :)

This exactly. Warlord is a particularly welcoming forum though, in any genre.

TMP, WD3, LAF, The Guild, GWP3, VBCW Forum, Steve Dean, SOTCW, WABForum and here. I've not found any others that offer the same value- they're either too focused on being idiots, or just simply don't strike a chord with me.

Besides daily visits on TGN I check BoLS and BoW once or twice a week, as well as Warseer. For the German area there is the Brückenkopf.
The German GW-Fanworld forum (despite the name it has much more to offer than GW) has an extensive news section,too. Last weekend we had a major upgrade of the forum and one of the improvements is the implementation of a news portal. So we will provide news there as well. Currently we are still looking for additional members for the news team.

TMP... good for news despite all the general negativity.
SD... nice bunch of very talented people..and friends.
The Ammobunker...every once in a while for sentimental reasons.
Here... well, it's like home 8-)

Cheers

Wamp is my go to site for vaguely mini related fun and frolics. They've had a big push to get lots of news recently so I find I don't need to go anywhere else.

As well as TMP and TGN, the Meeples and Miniatures podcast is great for keeping up with whats happening in the wargaming world:

I will confess to not understanding podcasts. Haven't found one I like.

Cant get on with an wargaming podcasts but I enjoy all of these history ones to a greater or lesser degree. You can download the episodes directly from their sites or easier just find them on itunes.

Generally visit/look here daily, even if not posting; often look at the Yahoo! DBA pages for news, and occasionally HC, TMP, TGN; rarely WAMP. Also visit Boardgamegeek for more general rules or board game news.
Perhaps a more pertinent question/survey might be which manufacturers' sites we visit ... :o :shock: :oops: :twisted:
