None. I would put this down as a way to cut costs down. Why maintain their system when they can just delete it? That is a question they have probably been asking. It would be cheaper for them. Another thing is the vagueness of the future features they are planning. Not convincing at alljwalker wrote...

Jessica, whatever you guys do, do NOT phase out groups. You say you listen to feedback. This is my feedback.
I don't care if polls and projects are gone, but not groups.
lol, feedback... supposedly this change is based on "feedback". i wonder how many were asking "get rid of albums!!!"
polls can be bad, but for the most part album and blogs are a nice way to interact with people..... it'll be more quiet here
and projects ? that means modders... yah, of course they want to get rid of them...

And projects? You know how hard it is to find things? If you allow DA2 and Mass Effect mods to be added to categories under DA:O, it's logically going to turn into a giant messy furball.
You either don't allow it from the get-go, or you create sub-categories so the game-mods are split up. Now we're forced to attach things to groups to be able to keep it orderly and guess what? They're all being frozen, great job.
This is all about not having made any choices for far too long and the site has suffered for it, now making the wrong ones in trying to radically fix things.
I have no reason to be here anymore, my subforums were closed, the groupfunctionality was lacking, now also soon gone and you're taking away my ability to use this as my main modding hub.

It's funny....this is the third site in a relatively short period of time, to remove features I was rather attached to.
@Ottemis - still sporting an avatar with one of your mods, lady. As always, love your work. Will keep an eye out, for wherever you end up.

Whelp...time to make sure I backed up all my silly blog spots. Too bad our mod for a BW game, can't be posted as a project here.

Do you really expect me--or anyone, for that matter--to believe that a vast amount of users on this site were clamoring for albums, blogs polls, and projects to be phased out of the site. I don't give a damn about any of those things, but come on. What do you take me for, a punk-ass sucka'?

Why phased out projects? Your fans have spent thousands of hours creating content to improve your games and increases their longevity. And you are throwing them away? This is the only place where all this content is archived. Are there plans to have some kind of spiritual successor to projects? And of course, people don't visit those pages very moment of everyday. How many times a day do you reinstall your games and have to redownload all your mods? The only thing you will achieve with this sending us elsewhere.
I get that this site is broke; groups don't work like they should and projects are a hot mess. THAT is what I have seen people complain about. So you answer is to white wash the whole damn site and start new? Nevermind the blood, sweat, and tears your fans have thrown into this site.
Achieve the old projects; better yet have one of your moderators shift through them and organize them by what game they are from. They don't really police the threads anyways, I'm sure they have lots of time on their hands.

I hope they do remove the OT board. It was a recommendation of mine to do so years ago.
This is a video game website to promote video games made by BioWare. To have lengthy discussions about ponys or what is your favorite album or whatever serves no purpose and has become a breeding ground of nastiness (just look at the name calling and comments in teh posts at the top of this page alone).
I know that when I left BioWare they were planning some major changes to the BSN. I hope they follow through with the, The changes Jessica mentions seem like the first step.

I do not understand how on god's brown earth people can talk about the same video games over and over again. Just about every angle of ME and DA has been covered.
We all come here with something in common. Which are Bioware games for the most part, but most of all, we're all gamers. And sometime down the line of getting to know each other, we discover that we have other common interests like music, shows, movies, books, professions. The list goes on.
Thus severing all ties to pretty much everything and just having posts about gaming & gaming only is unambiguously foolish.
Bioware was already crumbling and it has a chance to be something again, but now it's just going to crash and burn.
Congratulations.

So is Bioware going to hire the same company that did Healthcare.gov to "improve" the site?
