I don't know if you'll see this and I can already feel the hate and flame I'm gonna get thrown my way by other members of BSN, but on behalf of those who enjoy the interaction of the devs, and as some one who has recieved an anwser from you in a post let me apologize for the hateful posting of one of our fellow  and  now former BSN members in another post(you know who and which post). Thank you and Eric and Derek for taking an active role in the boards. I know you don't have too and it's greatly appreciated. Thank you and please don't stay away too long.

Is an apololgy like a combination of apologizing and LOLing?

BroJo's a cool dude and I always enjoy reading his posts. Hope he comes back to posting frequently despite some of the dbags around here.

I think Bryan Johnson is a pretty cool guy. He posts on BSN and he doesn't afraid of anything.

I have no idea what this is about, but I'll echo my support. One of the things that keeps me playing is this interaction. It is very cool getting a peek behind the curtain to see the folks pulling the levers. That, and they just seem like good peoples.

Word! Above and beyond the call of duty, Bryan - in every sense of the phrase. The exact opposite of lazy, no matter what a full 20% of internet knobs insist. Cheers for mucking in, if you fancy coming back then that'd be cracking. If not, can't blame you!

Won't go into detail but one of our fellow BSner's was a total D-bag to him and he lost his temper rightfully so, and removed himself from the conversation stating he would be off the boards for a while. Siad D-bag is now banned from BSN for his troubles.

He reads his private messages, I'm sure. I sent him one once, he responded. Unless you just want to get the attention of the whole forum...


It's not about me, I'm not Oprah(yeah I said it and I meant it) I just thought he could use a little lovin' from BSN. No one should have to put up with what he was subjected to.

You know, after what went down in that thread, it's actually not a bad idea to get the attention of the forum. After all, there was a survey some months back about how to make BSN better, and one of the things that stood out was people wanting MORE dev interaction here.

Then, when one of our most active devs attempted to engage an already vitriolic crowd and explain to them how things work on his end, he was verbally burned at the stake and one former poster even had the audacity to quote him out of context and make it his forum signature.

What occurred there was barbaric and uncalled for. There are a few posters I have greatly lost respect for as well, thanks to that whole debacle. There is civil discourse, and there is barking like a pack of rabid dogs. The latter has no place on a board that is owned by BioWare. It is not a public forum. We are here as their guests. The least we can do is refrain from slapping our hosts when they ask us to kindly stop peeing on their furniture.

It was very vicious. I actually wanted to physically fight someone, I was so angry. White Knight syndrome, yes, but still...

Well, you got my attention, but I still have no idea which thread we're talking about, since I've been working 12-hour shifts in the past two days, and I don't have the energy to browse the BSN recently.

Whoah, wait...what did I miss? Can someone, please, give me a reader's digest version? No need to call names, I think I know who is the guy who left.

There are always going to be people who put personal objectives before others, some that have no idea how to respect others, the arm chair critics always bug me as they do not have the details to often make the comments that they do, some posts I think are by a very young perhaps spoiled generation, and the I must have it now my way group.

Bryan and many others have been very active in the boards and in the game with many of us, I believe they have thick skni, big sholders and know the vast majority of us really appreciate what they are doing, show me any area of life be it games, cars or whatever that os perfect, it simply doesn`t happen. I believe they have done and are doing an outstanding job.

I remember back in May or June with these balance changes for example, I would get upset, I wouldn`t post it and at the time I thought it was the end of my small world in game but I kept at it and you know what, I found a way not only around the change, but something better, they were right all along, not always but generally with changes they have made.

In closing they have told us if we want them to be active here, to treat them with respect, they probably go through enough crap at work, the last thing they need is to be getting it from the forums, I am reminded of the saying, If you do not have something nice to say, say nothing at all because in game or in life, if you burn a bridge it will come back to haunt you.

Thanks Bioware, I speak for myself and perhaps others, we appreciate your efforts, this forum is your home and we appreciate the oportunity to stay for a while but kick those out that are not respectful, that simple.

I'm not sure what this is about and I wont apologize on someone elses behalf, but I will show my support and gratitude for the effort BroJo and the rest of the devs make to stay connected with us and delivering quality work.

Looking forward to seeing all else you have to offer and stay in contact - we appreciate it!

Just read the Bioware replies, when NPlewes becomes involved, IMHO in a matter like this, it`s not a good sign, you will see a BSN`t has been banned by him, this thread became totally out of hand and uncalled for

Please keep this thread active. it's like 5 am where I'm at and I haven't gone to bed and need too. Thanks for showing your support for the devs and Bryan especially as he really stuck his neck out in the forums and as you can tell by a lot of the posts here it was appreciated.

That has to be the most convoluted mixed metaphor I think I've ever encountered :huh:


Anyhew - I've no idea what this brouha is all about (missed that thread obviously) - but alongside CPP and EgoSoft, I think BioWare do a decent job of community involvement... be a shame if it was scuppered by some "Internet Legend" being a c***.

I probably have quite a few earth years on many here, doesn`t make me smarter but with time comes some wisdom and in that reflections in all areas of life.

I think the title should be "With Love, to Bryan Johnson."

Not because I don't think an apology is warranted.

But, because I think the point of this thread should be to serve as a counterbalace, and its focus should be the appreciation for the work and effort we benefit from, and the people who do it.

Bryan Johnson has answered me a couple of times. Once in a thread where I asked about Melee Damage for the Dog of War banner (my first banner, thank you Bryan for getting me on the right path.)

And once in a thread about my pet topic, weekend challenges. He wasn't the only volunteer to take extra time with that thread, either (Bryan's time in the forums is, I believe, volunteer.)

So I thank them for their time and effort. :)

Did this happen yesterday?
I have a feeling that this happened on some game mechanic/system related thread.
