[Dargon Affected]

I thought I'd post this here just to give some people a little insight into this forums new name.
 
Basically, Scuttlebutt is slang for gossip and rumours.
 
The only reason I know this is because my parents were in the navy and Ashley Williams uses it when talking to Femshep about Kaiden.

I chose scuttlebutt because it was originally a nautical/military term (and later adopted as office slang). So it was appropriate for Dragon Age and Mass Effect as well as BioWare office chatter. You'll notice that there is no longer a "general discussion". It was our largest and the most "vague" subforum. I think it became a catch all, and so I started thinking "what kinds of things are going in here?" We split it up into a few other subforums that we thought would be useful in order to make discussion more focused and on-topic (so self moderation would be easier). That lead to some cool subforums like Scuttlebutt, which I think is cooler sounding than "rumors", as well as the Feedback & Suggestions forum. It also led to the New Player Guide & Quest Help subforums! We really hope they become useful ways to organize your discussions  


EDIT: Originally, we were going to call it "Scuttlebutt around the Web & Beyond" but we thought might be too long. Let me know if you think title would have clarified or if we were right to edit it down to just the one word!

The term has grown on me

 

(I also love that text emoticons more consistently become the emoticons)

Um, what?

 

Typically the BSN would not convert my text emoticons into actual emoticons.

Moved this to Forum Help mostly for clarifications for others, as this isn't really Dragon Age related at this point and the term is used for all the general threads.

 

Cheers.
