Well well well. 
They just shot themselves in the foot where I'm concerned. I don't attend cons unless I want to splash $$ I'd rather spend elsewhere. Looks like any news about Bioware / games will be third hand. I'll miss you guys though. If we still want to hang around one another, best decide on a location.
P.S. I'm moving to home for DA fans, it also has ME forums over there. I'll still be around till they kill this board.

I need a hug right now.
Wow, punch to the gut on back to back days is not nice, Universe. 
Sadly, I'm not really surprised. I kind of had a feeling this place was ending when they closed down the off-topic a while back. I started copying all of my "what I did today" posts into "[charname]'s tale" folders on my hard drive. Guess I better get back to it.

I think I better do the same with mine too. Those were just droplets of inspiration.
I've already started looking for a home for GUIDE and reference material, like builds. This thread and our little group can find a home elsewhere, in a subreddit, or a new forum. If you all want to keep this going.
Shame that the forums are closing, but I'm in for finding a new home to keep this engaging thread and its many adventures alive. If everyone in the group wants to stay connected.

I've been going back hundreds of pages and saving my story related stuff on separate documents too.

There are some ideas being thrown around in this thread:
https://forum.biowar...tyforums/page-1
I'm a member of a couple of forums on proboards and they seem to work ok. Just not nearly as busy as this place.
They're batting ideas about but I've lodged a foothold at DAfans and transferred some of the stuff I've been writing over there because most of the sections are already established. I doubt I'll dig too far back for what I wrote.
Silly me, in a lot of cases, the only copies of some of my screenies are in this thread. I use a no-account/zero-signin upload service for photos, so I can't go back and fetch them from an account. If you don't keep track of the link, it's the same as losing the photo. And I deleted the originals to free up space on my drive.
I back up my pics on an external drive. It's a work habit of mine.
DAfans forum? I'll check that out.
Are there any fan sites for Mass Effect as well?
Well, with BSN winding down and all, I should do some sort of update on my Inquisitor while I still can.
I finally managed to get to Skyhold and meet Hawke which was always going to be a very testy affair since I designed Baldur Hawke to be... well...
So, after much wrestling with the face creator, I got a face I was kinda happy with.
So, here is my Inquisitor with Hawke!

Good job on recreating Hawke!
Also, "Dawn will come" Turned on on my youtube at the exact moment I read the lyric in your pic. Coincidence be awesome.
-----------------------
I created a profile on DragonAge Fans.
I looked at the DA Subreddit, started reading their thread about BSN closing. And can you believe this?
RANDOM POSTER....If anything right now I'm scared of all the forums users coming here and ruining this place too to be honest. I hope this won't be the case since I absolutely love the DA and ME communities on reddit. I'm mostly a lurker but I come here everyday and I would hate to see this subreddit end up the same way

12 hours agoRest assured that the mod team is aware of potential issues, and we're in the middle of discussing how best to handle any potential fallout. We will do everything within our power (which is not insubstantial) to make sure this sub remains the friendly, awesome place we all know and love.
WTF.... there are whole other communities welcoming BSN refugees with open arms and reddit? REDDIT IS KIRKWALL.
I kept reading just to see if that was a freak comment. No. MULTIPLE people preparing for our horribleness.

Don't give up just yet. There are some other possibilities besides reddit and Facebook (gack!) Well, maybe not for news, but for community/fandom stuff.
I don't know... Are those places BioWare's official forum? Because you have to admit, none of fan-created sites/forums are going to be as busy as this one. People will scatter between places or just give up.

Ah, yes. Because reddit is such a wonderful place *rolls eyes hard* Great "toxicity" of this forum seems to be some kind of outside knowledge, since I never found this place more toxic than others.
Sorry if I'm a bit blunt, but now that first shock and sadness faded, I'm just angry.
Also afraid that Spork will not see my message about BSN closing in time to say goodbye to this thread.

I dropped by Reddit once before out of curiosity, I don't find their style fluid or user friendly. They can rest easy, this BSNer not going there.
This one doesn't seem so bad for now http://biowaresocial...ork.boards.net/
Yep. I signed up a short time ago. Someone has already created a What did you do today in DA thread
Btw, anyone knows how to archive whole private conversation? I only get few first pages
To not get too negative and OT. Some scenery screenshots. For old times' sake.

That one is set up on Proboards where I already have an account.
Man, I don't even feel like playing anything. Probably just as well since I have a ton of stuff to copy/paste out of this thread. I got DA2 Malia copied over yesterday, now I'm up to DAI Tanith. After her I have 3 more Inquisitors and a couple of Hawkes. 
While there is still time-started up the Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts quest. Got court approval to 87 before heading upstairs
Seriously pissed now. Not sure which is worse, that they are closing the forum or their stated reason for doing so. Thinking about just giving up on bioware all together.

I'll follow you guys where-ever you go, but I want to put a vote in for this. Read Fexelea's OP, it's pretty impressive.

I'm hoping we can settle on one or maybe two new homes, rather than get split 12 ways from sunday. I've already seen a dozen suggestions, including building a new forum from scratch (https://forum.biowar...ommunityforums/), and I'm sure more are going to come before shutdown day.
I made a profile on RDF but overall, I want to be where the people go. Blanketfort is holding a poll, but I think that is aimed at the people who post Blanketfort all the time.
1-2 homes is okay, but if we all split and go to 12 then the fan base will be too watered down; at that point, Kirkwall/Reddit would have the best fan theories from sheer numbers. And nobody wants Kirkwall, full of blood magic and templars, yo.

I've already sign up but it's more cranky for me, keeps asking me to login every time I go there and then it doesn't recognise my password so I have to jump through hoops just to get in.
scratch that, Proboards is whanky. I'm jumping through hoops for all of them being on the same host. I'm annoyed. Now I have to do the same stupid thing for Dfans.
