Why would they change names ? People with a history at the old place wouldn't want to throw it away.

I changed my name (I was tdonadio on the old Bioware forums). The reason is simple: I'd wanted to do it for years, because I've used the handle "Andarian" ever since I started releasing mods in 2006. Maximus agreed to retire my old tdonadio account on the Vault and let me create Andarian, but switching over on the old Bioware forums was problematic. That was because someone had actually created an "Andarian" account on them back in Feb. 2002 that they basically never used (4 total posts, all archived long ago).

As it turns out, that even made it problematic on the new BSN, which was first unveiled at the DA Builder's Event last summer. As a participant there, mine was one of the first two dozen or so accounts created. The BSN was very primitive at the time, and it was at least initially set up to import all of the names from the old Bioware forums. Unfortunately that meant that when I went to create my new "Andarian" account, the same unused name from the old forums was still there to prevent it. So I had to settle for "AndarianTD," which to be honest I actually rather dislike -- though at least now it recognizably includes my builder's handle. Chris Priestly was looking into seeing whether "Andarian" could be freed up for me and my account name could be switched over, but unfortunately it looks like nothing ever came of that.

Someone tried to take my name. I killed him and hid the body under the floor boards of the old NWN toolset forum.

I changed my name. Look at my sig and see if you recognize it. On the old forums I was closing in on (hard to believe) 30,000 posts. I don't feel I've left anything behind or thrown anything away. It's all still there under my other name.

LOL!   I was thinking that they only counted posts on the main forums and not the guild forums, but they must have, though i checked my account and it felt like i posted alot more than the 1300 or so they tagged me at.  30,000!  Its all good though as many of the posts were rebutts to morons who questioned your numbers or your wisdom!

Someone jacked my old name so I just put a 0 at the end. You guys probably don't remember me, I only swing by every year or so to have a walk down memory lane.

[Eat2surf]

I no longer exist... I'm but a figment of your imagination... an undigested bit of stew in your stomach causing a bad dream.

[ffbj]

Yes Zandoro I remember you, and Eat2Surf: 'There is more gravy than grave to you.' As long as we're throwing around Dickens references, and it was a bit of bad beef.

The full quote from A Christmas Carol the speaker is Ebeneezer Scrooge and the target of the speech Jacob Marley: ""You may be an undigested bit of beef, a blot of mustard, a crumb of cheese, a fragment of underdone potato. There's more of gravy than of grave about you, whatever you are!"

Just noticed the link here today..lol

[SuperFly_2000]

Wow....congratz!

[Arwen73]

I am new here! I mean I always registered at bioware to store my keys and stuff but these boards seem so technical I never participated.

Then I decided to post here for the server I am at. So yes I'm new to your community here

[SuperFly_2000]

I think it is where nice to have "represantitves" from the some of the PW's here. It is a shame many PW's totally ignore theese boards...and the ones that are interested are usually only a few people from every PW.
It is like people forgot where it all came from...

[Arwen73]

Well I'm no one official at my server or what not. I just play and like the place. It's been through a rough time recently and things are slow. I'm  here for myself at these boards and for Myth Drannor even though I made some posts to help the place.

But yes! This is where it all came from!

*waves* I'm here.  

I'm with ArgentumRegio (but you already knew that), and our server is still growing.

I've always been a lurker on the ol' BioBoards, with a few posts here and there. When I moved here (and still got my original name) I broke out of lurker mode. :-)

[Bassix]

Haha, well I suppose I'm still a lurker.

^^^^ HA! You De-LURKED!

[c9040op]

My hope is that more people show up here over time. I never posted much on the old boards, but I read alot and learned alot. I don't get on my computer as much when weather is nice, and just found out the old boards were gone.



My understanding is the old bioware forums will not be accessible even for read only over time, if that is correct, then our best bet is to make these forums work the best we can. The forums are just to good of a resource to give up on.

Someone must have a De-Lurking device running. Or magic, it could be that too.

[ffbj]

Well since people are delurking themselves:



//delurker by ffbj



#include "x2_inc_switches"

void main()

{

int nEvent =GetUserDefinedItemEventNumber();

if (!nEvent == X2_ITEM_EVENT_ACTIVATE)

return;



object oPC = GetItemActivator();

string sPC = GetName(oPC);

string sMessage = (" The persistent lurker called: " + sPC + " Has temporarily de-lurked themselves. ");



object oTarget;

oTarget = GetFirstPC();

while (GetIsObjectValid(oTarget))

{

FloatingTextStringOnCreature(sMessage, oTarget, FALSE);

oTarget = GetNextPC();

}



}

Thanks ffbj. Let me see if I can modify this script to make it work with Romulan cloaking device.

Anyway, it's true this new forum is kind of empty it feels like nwn nursing home or something. The truth is in 100 years none of us will be here to post anyway. 

[tmanfoo]

It does seem like there are fewer responses by the day. Maybe we can take that as a sign that people are modding so much that they don't have time to check the forums? Maybe we're not saying anything interesting?

[CalSailX]

Between RL issues and ironing out some bugs in some on the fly conversation selection code. I know I'm a bit of a rare bird. Here's to hoping that it's just because there are some great modules in the pipe out there!

[virusman]

I think for the most part the poor usability of these forums contributed to people leaving.
I used to search old forums every few days for posts with "NWNX", etc. Since there is no full-text search here, I can't do that anymore.
And the small gray text on gray background is barely readable compared to the old forums.
That's the 2 reasons why I stopped visiting these forums.

This forum is dead compared to the old one.

Probably didn't help that people only got one week notice of the change.

Yet from the ashes, some of the most magnificent creations can come forth. Look at volcanic soil, or if your more into the mythical... the phoenix.



Hmmm, maybe people just need to post up things others would be more interested in reading? For instance, I have no idea what all that garbawldi-****** ffbj said means... maybe someone can explain?
