From Lexicanum

contradiction

this article is confused. First it states that in canon the tyranids ate the squats, then it says that in canon "the squats never existed". Which is it?! --Obscured 16:59, 27 June 2008 (CEST)

Officially they were retconned out of the fluff, the tyranid-thingy is not really official AFAIK. --Inquisitor S., Großmeister des Ordo Lexicanum 17:56, 27 June 2008 (CEST)

So It's True...?

The very last bit about the Squat sources bugs the hell out of me. Is it true that the moderators would ban and delete the thread? Were they trying to squash the existence of the Squats by removing any information about them that links to the GW sites? --Lygris 22:22, 24 September 2008 (CEST)

I'm not sure. I hadn't visited those forums for some time before they closed (and didn't know they had closed until I tried to go back to them a couple of months ago).

When I was active on them, mention of Squats wasn't completely banned, but there was very little you could ask or say about them without incuring the displeasure of the admins (you could for example safely ask or answer the question "What were Squats?", or tell people that you had your own Squat homepage or forum, but not much else.

Whether or not they got even stricter after I left, I don't know.

IIRC, the reason why they banned discussion of Squats (or at least the reason they gave) was that they were not going to bring them back, at all, ever, and they were fed up with people bugging them about it. Which to be honest, I think is a stupid reason for censoring the boards, but that's what the mods there were like, which was one of the reasons I stopped using the forums. (Discusing model prices, or saying anything that was in any way critical of Games Workshop was also strictly prohibited).
