Also there was a post in my notifications that has since disappeared. But it pointed out, as many of you inadvertently have, the discordant references Kitten Orphanage conjures for a thread about a dog person. Of course the moniker predates this DAI forums incarnation of the thread... As well as Cullen's outing as a dog obsessed person who would invite his dog over his friends to his wedding (:eyeroll:).

So I'm also open to other ideas. I've always disliked cute thread titles. So we could also skip and just call it the Original BSN Cullen Thread. Or:

Came for the Cullen, Stayed for the Company (or shorten to the first part)

And they lived happily ever after...

Others? Bueller? Bueller?

Well, just because he's a mabari person (not precisely the same as dog person, though they haven't really followed up on the original concept, sigh) doesn't mean he's not a cat person too. I seem to recall a lot of fanart with Cullen and cats and kittens. Could just go with Orphanage? Asylum is opening the door.

Or how about something based on the end slide concepts for Cullen - a sanctuary for Templars trying to break the lyrium habit? I'm not awake enough to think of a good one right now...

Being a not-cat person myself, I'm fully ok with ditching cat references.

I'd been thinking about Templar refuge ideas for the same reason, but I can't get more creative than blatantly stealing Illusionary Ennui's name for the Cullen FB page, Templar's Rest. And now I've doomed all of you with this curse of knowledge. :D

It sounds promising, vieralynn (:waves:)

Something like that could provide for the occasional Culleny conversation, while not limiting us. So long as it's not called something something cullenites, a term no longer embraced by this thread, despite me coining it.

For the short term, we may still want to set up at new BSN and wait for the dust to settle. But imzy sounds interesting. (You had me at "fandom old timers" :lol:).

Other thoughts?

 

I like "Came for Cullen, stayed for the company" esp if it can be made clear that all characters are ok to discuss.

Hi folks, I've been absent for a few months now. Work is keeping me busy and I'm (still) looking for a new job, so unfortunately there's hardly time for Cullen anymore. But I haven't forgotten you.

Today I come back here just to find out that BioWare will close the forum in August :crying: :o . Argh. 

I always enjoyed the discussions and the creative projects in this thread. It was also a good opportunity for me to practice English. And I'm glad to see that some of the old faces are still around. What I'm trying to say is, that it would be a pity to lose contact. So, if you are all moving to a new home, take me with you, please. I'm fine with whatever you decide but I will be at gamescome next week and won't be able to read any messages. I'll be back around the 21st. But just in case that I miss anything important - or that I can't find it in the thread - could someone please write me a (private) message on Twitter with the link to our new home: @BWCaja . It would really appreciate it!

 

I skipped through the last page of this thread now and I realize that there is a new forum? I'm on my way out again, but please don't forget to send me a link! Regarding a thread title I would either stick with The Official Cullen Discussion Thread v. 4.0 (alive and kicking) or go with Cullen's fireplace. Something like that that invites everyone. But as I said before, I'm fine with whatever you decide :).

I'm mostly just an animal person, as long as they have fur or feathers. I'm about equally a dog and cat person, but birds are actually my favorite (though if mabari were real...) :D

 

Ouch, well, I didn't know about that (dang, that would have been perfect.) Err, The Home at Honnleath? (I've kind of headcannoned that since the village was overrun during the Blight, there'd still be land which hadn't been reclaimed after the Blight.) Or - We have Cookies! (I seem to recall that being a popular greeting to newcomers.) I actually kind of like Honnleath Retirement Home since we don't expect any future Cullen content and are retiring from focusing on him exclusively.

 

I like "Came for Cullen, stayed for the company" esp if it can be made clear that all characters are ok to discuss. 

I like it, except I keep thinking it's a little long for a thread name? But maybe that's me... :lol:

Someone put up an "Official Cullen Discussion Thread" before the rest of us had time to even register that we were losing the forums. But we want to stay together without crashing someone else's party, so we're trying to think of a new name that isn't necessarily exclusively Cullen anymore. Hopefully someone can send you the info, but I'm not on Twitter.

I'm leaning this way as well unless we can come up with something better/shorter.

Caja, welcome back!!

Once we decide we'll def post instructions around on where to find us. BTW new BSN is bsn.Boards.net ( someone please correct if I misremembered ).

There are complications with being the official thread but even so, we could still call ourselves v.4.0. Since we would be. :)

On Templar's Rest, IKR??

On cookie references DEAR GOD NO KILL THEM WITH FIRE.

on retirement home :snort: I could come around to something like that, that references his inevitable sunset. Of course... I don't think he would necessarily retire in Honnleath, but there are other ways to reference him.

Oops, didn't know that, OK. No cookies.

 

We could go with something that references "Curly?" :P

 

Edit: I was thinking Wicked Grace would be funny and kind of cozy, but that would be more suggestive of Varric than Cullen.

 Asylum is opening the door.

Agreed!

Double agreed! *insert vomit emoji*

 

I kinda giggled to myself trying to think of name options, leaning toward a retirement angle and I suddenly imagined a VFW hall full of retired Templars hanging out and telling war stories and smoking cigars.  :lol:

Templar's Rest may already be taken, but what about Commander's Rest? I mean his last job was as the commander of the Inquisition. The subtitle could be, "A place to come and discuss your favorite characters, or just relax and shoot the breeze."

Hey I'm new to this thread.  I played dragon age 3 last year and now I'm on my 3rd play through currently. The fact that my inquisitor is romancing cullen has brought me to this forum, I haven't taken part in a forum for a long time.  

 

bare with me anyway. :)

Welcome to the thread! ^_^  Unfortunately, with BSN closing you've come at a rather bad time. We're disuccing now where we are going to move and what to call our thread in the new home.

Final call!

Kitten Orphanage is now deprecated.

Currently I'm thinking something straight forward:

Cullen Thread 4.0: Came for Cullen, Stayed for the Company

Other options:

Templar Rest Home

Old Templar Redoubt

Ye Olde Cullen Thread v.4.0

Cullen's Coffee Klatsch

Rumor & Hearsay (building on the epilogue idea)

??


So after some soul searching and a couple of hurt feelings ( but just a couple ;) ) that someone scooped the Official Cullen thread moniker out from under us, I propose we just move to the new BSN, in the DAI character discussion section, with a new name. Right now I'm thinking something like The Kitten Orphanage (The Original Cullen Discussion Thread). In the OP we explain the Came for the Cullen, Stayed for the Company principle and that now we're a general DA Character discussion thread. Then folks who want to embrace All Cullen, All the time can do so in the other thread. And we can do what we do.

We can rename ourselves later on (presumably?) and remove the Culleny subtitle if we want. But for now it will allow people to find us if they want.

Thoughts?

Yes, welcome! Altho, you'll have to bear with us as we transition elsewhere when the BSN closes on Aug 26. But there's room for all on our Cullen's Ark! :D

:snort: Yeah, I was thinking the same after I typed it. Heck, assuming we can still change the thread title later on, we could even combine them. 

 

Ye Olde Cullen Thread v4.0: All aboard Cullen's ark 

 

or something like that.

 

edit: or swap it?

 

Cullen's Ark: Ye Olde Cullen Thread v.4.0

Some of the best stuff to come out of this thread have been happy accidents. Why stop now?

 

Cullen's Ark: Ye Olde Cullen Thread v.4.0 has my vote.  :wizard:

I think that's about as close to perfect as we can get since Templars' Rest is out. ;)
