BSN still feels like the right name for the forums. But if I have to pick a new one I have to admit (with a bit of shame) that I'm partial to Scuttlebutters.

Same here, Scuttlebutters got a certain ring to it

[JeffZero]

I really detest it personally, but I will make this heroic sacrifice and embrace the darkness if required.

I would like to join my fellow Scuttlebutters in voting for "Scuttlebutters".

 

Scuttlebutters.

Scuttlebutters is the cutest name ever.

[Robtachi]

How is everyone going to feel about that name when there isn't anything to scuttlebutt about at that time?

Too long, needs to be shorter.

Considering that whole "toxic forum" image we've had in the past, making us the "butt" of the Internet, I'm not sure creating a nickname also involving the word "butt" is really a positive, fresh change to move forward with.

 

But maybe I'm being too prudish about it. I suppose I could say it with a whimsical state of mind. I just get more of a feeling of all the rest of the Internet pointing and laughing at us with that moniker, though.

 

Not that they aren't likely already doing that, I'm sure. LOL

Keep it as BSNers. Believe it or not, it was me who actually coined the term/abbreviation BSN years ago in early 2010. Seriously, way back then I pretty much read through every other post on almost all of the boards, when it was much smaller community than it is now and 'BSN' abbreviated didn't exist. There aren't all that many 2009/ early 2010 BSN starting members that frequent here often nowadays, but I at least like to check the boards now and then. This whole forum change was an end of an era,, I tell y'all young pups.

Stay classy, BSN.

I don't mind scuttlebutt in its original meaning, but using it as a label for us...it sounds like we don't know how to clean ourselves when using the toilet.

that could be fun in it's own right, just imagine the looks on people's faces.

 

I vote ether stick with BSNers, or go with scuttlebutters,, butters for short.

Scuttlebutt sounds too much like Scuzzlebutt for me to take it seriously.

[Jack Druthers]

It just reminds me of the "butter face" conversation that Zevran has with Leliana, which then leads to Simpsons references..idk.

Hey guys,

I was in a thread and a player pointed out there isn't an endearing name to replace "BSN'ers" or anything of the sort. So I thought I'd go ahead and start a topic to see if anyone was interested in discussing a moniker to call one another. Good for me to have a moniker for you guys too when I'm singing your praises (which I have done quite a bit in the past week or so). Plus I like solidarity. Of course, I'm sure you will all organically come up with things as time progresses etc. Or not! 

But the thread is here anyway if you want to use it It's midnight and I don't want to answer my emails. This sounds more fun.

 

Cheers,
Jess

 

OMG! That was me! That was me!

BSN.

Or -

"The Social" 

"Biower Pls"

"Bioware Socializing" 

"Social -9000"

[SwobyJ]

Legacy - BSNers, to use in retrospect

 

Neutral - TBFers (The Bioware Forum), to use in the Internet at large

 

Positive - BFFs (Bioware Forum Frequenters), to use within TBF about those who are particularly frequent and prominent posters, the community itself, etc

Scutters  be too much like "Red Dwarf"  Can anyone actually scuttle their butt?

I like BFFs - Bioware Forum Frequenters. But scuttlebutters also gets my vote.

What about "Biotes" (rhymes with "zygotes")?  Since we're Canadian, it works in our second official language, too:

 

biote:  Représente la somme de la faune et de la flore vivant dans une région donnée (represents the total flora and fauna living in a given region)

 

Sad but true:  this was significantly better than the other "gems" free word association brought me:  WareBears, WareWolves... (shudder)

 

I do think "Scuttlebutters" is a mouthful, its natural devolution over time being "Butts".  I'm not sure I'd like being called a "Butt" again (flashback to junior high...more shuddering).
