 The Solas Thread has officially moved to Cyonan's BSN - Solas Thread 2 - Electric Boogaloo.

The numbers are pointing a certain direction, but I don't want to make a Dwarf thread at BSN until we can settle on a name.

 

People have said the Dwarf Support Thread sounds pessimistic. 

 

I have had a few votes for "Keeping up with the Cadashians."

 

Does anyone have other suggestions? Please chime in.

 

We could call it the Awesome Dwarf Thread Full of Awesome Dwarves!

 

More seriously: the elf thread here is called Arlathan. Maybe we could call ours Tapster's Tavern after that fine establishment in Orzammar?

 

(Elf thread: named after mysterious lost city. Dwarf thread: named after nearest pub.)

I really like this. It has my vote.  :)

I'm dwarfed out for the day. Spent most of my day, literally, copy/pasting and formating the first two posts of the Dwarf page on DAF

 

https://realdragonag...t-thread?page=1

 

I know the formatting isn't lovely. I'm arguing with the BBC code page more than I'd like  :(

 

Like, I think I spent 20 minutes trying to get the Dwarf names list to not be hidden under a spoiler tag with the Dialogue and... yeah, I figured it's more important to move the info rather than try to make it pretty right now.

 

We're doing it! *thumbs up.*

 

EDIT ADD:

-----------------------------------------

In forum news:

 

So the Twitter thread is going to: http://bsn.boards.net/

 

The Blanketfort has also re polled, and they are going there as well. (although members heavily mention that they will be on 2-3 forums depending on their mood anyway)

 

And there is a rumor that at least one Bioware Developer made an account on there as well. (Hi, Irony)

 

Looked at the numbers as of Aug 3 12:30am:

 

RealDragonAgeFans:
Users Online in the Last 24 Hours
2 Staff, 105 Members, 261 Guests.
Total Members: 213
 
Bsnboards:
Users Online in the Last 24 Hours
4 Staff, 352 Members, 1,085 Guests.
Total Members: 440

 

I thought I'd share that for folks.

I'd like to see the thread started by a long-time regular (maybe Vertigomez or Merela?) if for no other reason that it makes it easier to make changes to that first post on the thread where people tend to look for info. We've had over 2 years experience now with a thread with an absentee OP. Not saying we don't appreciate the enthusiasm, etc., but we've been stuck between being unable to make changes, or deserting a thread that's shown longevity/activity...

Oh, I like Tapster's Tavern! It's more inclusive than any of the other dwarven locations/organizations I can think of. I don't want something campy, it tends to stick long after it's stopped being funny or cute.

On the topic of New Title:
There were suggestions on the thread name somewhere in the late pages of 200-300. (It starts at 279)
TEWR suggested: The Assembly: Praise the Ancestors -- Where Dwarf Fans Gather
Tishina suggested: The Dwarven Assembly
Bhryaen suggested: Delving the Deep Roads: Dwarves and Allies. Also suggested merging some old Harding thread names in the mix: Little Package of Murder and "Delving the Deep Roads: All Things Dwarfy (and this means YOU, Lacey Harding)" and "From the Assembly to the Deep Roads: etc."
Vertigomez mentioned fondness for the old: Dwarven (Master Race) Appreciation Thread
Olwaye suggested: "Delving Deep : the dwarven community" , Stone Halls of the Dwarfs( in game title of a book by Genetivi), Children of the Stone and Crotchgazers( wait... scratch that one)
Thesuperdarkone2 suggested Tapster's Tavern
 
I quite like The Dwarven Assembly, Children of the Stone and Little Packages of Murder. :)

"Tapster's Tavern - for all your dwarven needs" :lol:

 

So apparently either Verti' or I should start the thread on the BSN board?

I think you should. You were really good with the Cassandra's Thread.

Just joined up with the BSN and RDF under the nick I prefer to use these days: "ToSch".

 

I noticed on the RDF that I actually missed the awesomeness of the page 200 dwarf picture... and my good Thoryn is actually included!

Shame on me! Shame! *dingding* Shame!

I'd forgotten about these, it's been a while. I do think Tapster's Tavern is more inclusive than anything connected to the Assembly or even Children of the Stone (either of these to some extent exclude casteless or surface dwarves,) and has more staying power than the funny ones. Novelty wears off fast.

Yes...

*coughs* Alright then, unless anyone else has an objection, I'll start the thread later today. And maybe I'll post some advertising on Tumblr too.

I've signed up for all 3, for the moment, but eventually I'll narrow it down to one (don't have time to check multiple forums all the time.) Right now, it looks like RDA has the most dwarf activity (Phoray, I saw the name, thank you! And nicely set up, I'll post when I get time to read things.) But I think the other thread I follow is probably heading to the BSN...

I've never been namedropped so many times on one page. :lol: Thanks for the vote of confidence. Big thanks to Phoray and Merela for starting the new HQs and to Krypplingz and Seven and everybody else who's been combing through the thread, saving precious dwarf content.

I don't think it'll pose too much of a problem to have two (or more - however many sustainable lifeboats we end up with) threads on different sites. We're a fairly closely-knit bunch, all things considered, and we'll likely be sharing content on both threads anyway? So I'm not worried.

(By sharing, I mean that I'll be recklessly spamming dwarfy goodness from one site to another, because reasons.)

(Elf thread: named after mysterious lost city. Dwarf thread: named after nearest pub.)


Priorities. B)

Dragon Age has established from the start that Dwarves are just more metal than the Elves.

 

Spoiler

I do believe, guys, that this entire thread has been scraped for lore and various links.

 

It had been consolidated here in the first two posts:

 

https://realdragonag...tapsters-tavern

 

But has also been given to Merela for those of you who prefer the BSN boards:
