Warseer

Warseer (also known as Whineseer) is one of the foremost forums related to Games Workshop. It is particularly known as a hotspot for rumormongers, although it also has active fluff and crunch sections for both Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Fantasy Battle.
Warseer is also known for its extremely strict rules, to the point that the mods are frequently compared to Commissars (the mods refer to themselves as the Warseer Inquisition). They WILL delete and edit your posts, and they are known for locking threads whenever they stray from its stated topic (even if a single poster or two gets off topic). They're so stringent about copyright that linking to a site that links to another site with leaked images from White Dwarf is not allowed. They also aren't fans of naughty language, so you can't link to 1d4chan or /tg/.
The forum is sometimes known as "Whineseer" because its populace has a tendency to whine about almost anything GW does. This is especially true of new models, which are almost universally hated at first. In another example, Warseer has seen a multitude of epic, 50+ page threads complaining (and arguing about) Phil Kelly's disastrous 6th edition Chaos Space Marines Codex. Similarly, the inhabitants of Warseer whine about the accuracy (or lack thereof) of various posters' rumors (needless to say, they hate Faeit 212), thereby driving rumormongers away, only to whine that certain rumormongers left the forum.
Additionally, posters on Warseer don't much like the idea of Counts As or Your Dudes. For instance, with the new Codex: Space Marines, many Chaos Marine players (especially Night Lords, Alpha Legion, and Iron Warriors, as none of those Legions have a particularly strong relationship with Chaos) want to use Chaos Marines as counts-as Space Marines. Every time this comes up, most posters on Warseers basically say "but that's not really Chaos Marines, use the right Codex fucktard," and nobody bothers with any useful suggestions.
It should be noted that Black Library editor Laurie Goulding has gone on record stating "I hate Warseer and all who post there" (actually, it was even harsher than that, but we can't have bad language, now, can we?).
/tg/, by and large, doesn't know about Warseer, and most of Warseer doesn't know about /tg/; for instance, using the term Failbaddon will be criticized intensely. Still, it's a good site for rumors (though not as good as Faeit 212).
The more you whine on Warseer, the more you'll succeed, if you don't agree with people with a high post count, watch your posts get dismissed and smashed down with bitter sarcasm, winky faces and thinly veiled insults - just like any other forum,ever.
