[A Geth With A Bow]

Hey all, I've been lurking here for a wee bit (under a different name), and I was wondering whether any of you have been to the Extranet.  

extranet.47.forumer.com/index.php

The Extranet is basically the result of a joke thread from another website, where posters wondered, "What if the ME Extranet is just like today's internet?  What if a bunch of aliens and humans were sitting around all day sending messages under ridiculous pseudonyms and discussing how the newest Blasto Movie couldn't hold a candle to the original trilogy or how that Salarian email scam cost the Council millions of credits?"



 
 The Extranet is a very small and extremely liberal role play community that's just getting off the ground. With no practicing standards for our role play community,  we're looking for the curious and the laid back amongst everyone who'd enjoy playing around in a completely free environment with a different mentality toward role play. A sort of sandbox for the Mass Effect universe, where different ideas, characters, situations and events can be immediately explored without stuffy regulatory rules. A playful and comedic gathering of fans that is at times awesome and at other times is almost horrifying. All ideals, characters, and role playing types are welcomed and supported.

 It has a few peripheral attachments such as a dedicated forum for roleplaying, but is first and formost a method of exploring the universe by playing it's characters in a web-setting--so you'll be posting as characters who are posting as themselves on a ficticious forum, from the mass effect forum.

Pretty nifty, eh? We hope to have caught your eye with our passing advertisement, we'd love to see what people from different backgrounds would do with the idea!
 
 So, to the Krogan Warlords, the Asari Lovers, the Salarian Scientists, Volus Entrepeneurs, Elcor poets, Turian Renegades, Batarian Slavers,  Quarian Engineers, Raloi Explorers amongst you- welcome.





I should probably add that we've attracted a decent amount of artists and shoopers-- which combined with our zany take on the ME universe, has resulted in some very amusing adventures.

Hope to hear from some of you!

What scam? You mean the "YOUR 2 SMALL" email sent by Morlan?

Well, in a way, I guess it helped inspire it; but I meant in a more general fashion.  We're basically taking what happens on the IRL internet, and making a mass effect universe related counterpart.  For instance in the current affairs thread there's a topic called  "So, Reapers"  which turned into a kind of "ARE UFOs REAL?! And BIGFOOT SIGHTING"  Thread.

Excerpt:
"This'll probably just degenerate into flaming, but who believes they exist? Me, I think it's just Geth. The only people who called them "Reapers" are Humans. Humans were also the only ones to fight them. Not
usually one to call conspiracy, but the signs are there.

What do all of you think?" (from user rich **** salarian)

Whereas in the race discussion section we end up with a variety of topics ranging from SUPERIOR MASTER RACE pseudo-flame threads (not really flaming since its humorously in character, like volus harping on Quarians and Quarians harping on Geth, etc) to...  " Inter Species Freaklations" (which is exactly what it sounds like).

"Why, hello there, you funky brothas.

My name is Jeremiah Funk Crosluex'yn. I've noticed a sever lack of
groove in this sector of the Extranet. I'm here to fill that that niche. Make no mistake, you brow-beatin', hot-feetin', Turian-meetin' bruthas, I am not some token card to be casually thrown in the mix so that your species quota can be met. I am a proud black Salarian man. A product of fiery African-Human power, and sultry, seductive Salarian magic. My words are like pillars of masculinity set atop a foundation ofsoul and smooth, sexy stylin'. Allow me to regale you with my story..."

Quick word of advice, dont go there. I used too thinking 'oh hey neat, a mass effect community, looks fun', almost EVERY thread devolves into talking about turian ****. Its basicly the mass effect communities version of a fursona forum

Hmm... that's very strange.  It's still working on my end, maybe it's being blocked?

Er...  I think you're a little confused pal.  Turian what?  I'm afraid I can't address the problem if I can't understand what you're saying.  I haven't seen anything of the inflamitory sort or received any complaints from the 100+ users online.  I suspect you either misinterrpreted something rather horribly, or are mistaking this site for some other site.

As far as the comparison to this... "fursona" thing, I'm afraid I am not familiar with the term, and you will have to elaborate further.  Whatever it is, I assume it has a negative conotation, which is a real shame, because you're missing out on dealing with a pretty decent, reasonablly intelligent, and light-hearted group of mass effect fans.

Constructive criticism is always welcome, but it seems like you're taking this a little too seriously.  I look forward to your feedback.

 Well helmet boy we apologize for your experience, we've tried to trim that obscene behavior back the slightest bit, in the interest of running a decent community for new members of different sensibilities, and though we have some work to do we're trying to build a more fair and diverse community. We do not plead for your patronage, just for understanding- we don't advocate the wild derailment of discussions for the sake of a bunch of jokes that we- honestly- are tired of just as much as anyone here. 

It's just 'furry' is a football field and a highway left of how we're trying to steer this community in it's revamp from this point. So you understand. We don't adhere to, but neither exclude.
