I just wanted to come here and post something, in this thread... before it's gone...
One last time... all the history here, so sad.
I'm over on RDF.
Oh god, I'm gonna cry.
We should just make the next few weeks a non-stop train of Solas gifs and kiss screenshots or something. 
(and the people who hate him can post gifs of punching him I guess?)
But like I said in another thread about Solas a while ago - the great thing about blanketforts is that you can build them anywhere!

I'm so jelly of all the purdy gifs. I still don't have an animated gif of my Lavellan kissing Solas. This upsets me. Unreasonably. Yes, I know my priorities are screwy. 
Fraps didn't didn't work with our AMD Mantle API set up, the demo of Bandicam left that nasty watermark, and I can't import the Bandicam AVI files into GIMP to trim off the watermark. GRAAAA!!! It's on the to do list anyhow. Any ideas y'all?

Haha, I don't have any gifs of my Lavellan kissing him either (yet). 
I really should figure it out though, I've had the game for almost two years now.

Yes! Open Broadcast Software! Open source so it's free and it's great for recording or streaming your game play. I did have to mess with the settings to figure it out, but there are tutorials out there that help you get the settings right. Here's the link
for anyone who has signed up to RDF,
there's some regulations you might wanna peruse
"Thanks for joining! We don't have many rules here but there are a few all new members should be aware of.
1. Treat everyone here with respect and tolerance.
2. Please keep any "mature" posts in the sections labelled "Eros-"

6. All new members MUST select a unique avatar in the "Edit Profile" section. Site default avatars are not allowed.
Thanks for taking the time to read!"
Yikes, I ran over there and did those things. I also told them I "followed" you there even though I'm not usually a Solas follower in the game.
It's pretty neat you get to see where everyone who voted is in the world
I wasn't even considering ERC honestly purely because I couldn't see it...
But I'm in Texas and it didn't show anyone in Texas after I voted.

I am wondering what woke Solas up from Uthenara ? He was slumbering for millennia and he woke up a year before the Inquisition started. Why did he wake up then and what caused him to wake up ?
If you like Solas fanart, Capricornsun keeps pretty much all of it archived in her tumblr, and you don't need an account to view any of it:
http://capricorn-sunny.tumblr.com/
(and her old blog - http://capricorn-sun.tumblr.com/ - though it's inactive)
Thank you so much for pimping out my blogs, dawnstone! 
And yes, for anyone who wants to check out the latest Solas-related fanarts, feel free to check out my blogs. I pretty much try to keep track and reblog almost all of them. (Because I am weak for Solas...)

*clutches heart*
It really pains me to see this wonderful place gone. But like a lot of people, I'll be over at RDF. And I'm also a member of the Elfroot Club so hoping to see you guys again in either of those places!

Yay for Solavellan kissie gifs! 
Here's more.
I guess I could still share some of the awesome art I've found.

Regarding the guest access - we can enable guest browsing on the Blanketfort board on Elfroot Club. You will not be able to see any other board on the forum neither to post as a guest. Each topic created in that board will then be view-able by guests.
However as it has been pointed before this post, it may as well be that both the forums serve different purpose, in which case we'll keep it closed as it is. If some of you move to us, just let me know via a message on EC we can discuss it there 
(Same username and avatar as here)
And please, do not feel intimidated one bit. We're all nice people there You do not need to be an artist to join (hence why there's a 'Blanketfort Refuge'), but definitely feel free to drop by the art boards and participate if you wish so! We're a welcoming bunch. 
Anyway, good luck guys on the RDF forum or wherever you in the end go. I used to hang out in here a lot before I slipped out of the Solavellan Hell (/gasp!) and it's definitely sad to see this go.
It's all good! Blanketfort welcomes politely-expressed Solas critical opinions and you don't have to be a Solas fan to post here, discuss him or participate in the thread's community.Yikes, I ran over there and did those things. I also told them I "followed" you there even though I'm not usually a Solas follower in the game.
RDF's admin has also been saying that migrants can tell their friends and other BSN users to move to RDF too, Blanketforter or no.
I am wondering what woke Solas up from Uthenara ? He was slumbering for millennia and he woke up a year before the Inquisition started. Why did he wake up then and what caused him to wake up ?
I've wondered about this too. Perhaps the foci being fully charged triggered an alarm...like the button popping out of a turkey. Or perhaps while wandering the fade he was actually fully aware of the passage of time and knew when to wake himself up. Since according to Dalish legend elders sometimes awoke from Uthenera and shared the knowledge they acquired in the Fade, they must have known how to wake themselves up.
Is EC invite only?
No. You may register at will, however the registrations undergo a mod/admin approval in a bid to weed out spammers and bots. Usually it's done within minutes (the system sends out an email once it is approved). On occasion, it may take longer but never more than several hours. If you wish to speed up the process drop me a line on tumblr since I can access that via phone at most times and check the registration queue after that.
We could make the registrations without the mod approval for the time being however it attracts a lot of automated trash, so please understand that it's something we do not like to enable often. Also, most of the current residents are there exactly because it is mod approved and clean of spam and bots, a trusty place, if you will.
We've enabled guest browsing on the little BSN part so you can check out how, roughly, the forum topics look like.

Sweet. Thanks for the info.
I'll go check it out.

So then...if he was acutely aware, then he spent over a millennia walking the Fade? I mean good for him and all but, at what point does he decide, oh I should probably try to the fix the world now after every one has screwed it over a couple of times.
And if he wasn't aware? Well I find it very difficult to believe that he just woke up from a sleep that long. It just seems too convenient. Why then? Sure it has to happen some time, but why not earlier? Or another thousand years later?
I think someone/something interfered with his sleep and woke him up purposefully.
Now I'm thinking if Mythal had something to do with it.
Now I'm thinking about if she's manipulating all these events to get her revenge!!!
Sorry, tin foil brain engaged for a second.
Still sad about this.
I want to say that, even though I don't really contribute much, I still adore everyone in this place and I hope that things will work out with a newly built blanketfort.
As the winds change their direction, so too, must we build anew.... (this was meant to be terrible and cheesy.)
*poorly made wind sounds*

I am personally of the opinion that even if she didn't wake him up directly, like with the Hero of Ferelden and Hawke and even the Inquisitor, she very much had something to do with it. 
She can't get her revenge unless/until Solas takes down the Veil after all.

I don't know...Mythal is probably using Solas toward her own ends, but I don't think she woke him up. Remember Solas is an expert at long term planning.
I think Solas kinda sorta set an alarm clock before he went to bed. He knew before he went to sleep that his plan was to use the orb to restore the world of the elves, and he knew how long the orb had to charge. Or perhaps he knew how long the veil would last before it began to fail and the magic of the Crossroads would also begin to fail. I also believe that no ancient elves are currently immortal unless they are in uthenara (essentially suspended animation). Solas knew the only way he would live long enough for the orb to charge was if he slept the whole time. Ta-da!

She might very weeell be using him, that's the feeling i'm getting out of this, I don't know to what extent and it makes me way too sad to try to figure out. But HEH that's something that would be useful towards the redeem road, We're so not over yet with teh crushed feels fmnzeuqfzomùuz

I started unpacking at both places. Everything feels alright. I think it'll be alright

I'm too tired to get into speculation mode right now, but I love the idea of Solas setting an alarm to wake himself up when his iFoci was fully charged
I think something happened that disrupted Solas from his slumber.
In the fade we find codex entry: Whispers Written In Red Lyrium
We are here
We have waited
We have slept
We are sundered
We are crippled
We are polluted
We endure
We wait
We have found the dreams again
We will awaken
Seems like more than just one old magic is returning to the world.
Why is it happening right now or who "they" are? That's anyone's guess.
It could be that whatever magic Solas used to create the Veil and seal the Evanuris & Forgotten One's away is finally breaking...
So this was posted in the 3rd Party Community thread.
I started writing a forum scraper yesterday , parses through the BSN and extracts forum posts, users who made the posts, users likes and stores it in a database. With how busy work is, I will probably finish it in a 1/2 a month or so. If any forums wanted, they could use this tool to migrate the BSN data.
Might be useful to keep an eye on.
