Off Topic has never been reopened. Its still locked and no regular forum user can post in any of its threads.
You're right. I checked back and was confused for a second there ![]()
Thanks.

So many things I want to say that I can't because of the rules and my choice to honor them. Man, this is ridiculous.
Well so far we've had little two-way conversing and we don't have a clue whether they'll listen to us or not. What are we to do, take their word for it? The same word that said Deception would get revisions it never got? The same word that said ME3 wouldn't have ABC endings when its exactly what it had? The same word that the countdown was leading to a major thing for Bioware fans worldwide that ended up being a sale of items to people in most U.S. states and nowhere else?
That word? Because while I'd love to forget all that and let bygones be bygones, Bioware hasn't made an attempt to win back faith and trust in us after those pitfalls.
How am I supposed to know we aren't being led on right now?
That all this is pointless and will lead to nothing?
That I just lost 99% of the people I talk to daily here and will lose more with time?
Oh, I'm not taking their word for it. I'll simply wait and see if anyone comes talk to us. If they don't, I'll have my answer. ![]()

Sorry we can't talk about space anymore Cirilla Fiona Elen Riannon. That was a time to be alive.

Was that moved to OT though? ![]()
Last I checked it was in the ME:A section.
Prince... let it go. Let it go. Don't hold it back anymore.
Let it go... let it go. Turn away and slam the door.
Bioware bothers me far more than the cold ever did.
So, I'll ask again, do we have a Steam Group?

Nah the Andromeda thread still lives, I'm mostly thinking about my broader space thread that was inspired by Jimmy's EM Drive.
We can talk about Andromeda, sure. But space as a whole? NAAAAH
It seems like a lot of people have had ideas about forum management that they've forwarded on to Bioware employees or moderators, but those have been sent as individuals. Would anyone be willing to start sharing ideas and come up with some kind of consensus? We're all invested in this community and no one wants to be known as toxic. If we can show Bioware that we're invested and that not all of care much about Twitter, Tumblr and Reddit interactions and are more invested in the BSN then maybe it will make a difference.
And let me edit this by saying that the What Changes Would You Like to See thread has devolved into "just bring back OT." And a super weird gif of Vader sticking his finger in Leia's mouth. ![]()

Sad times. I'm probably going to let the White Frost kill me if they don't reopen the OT soon.
I'm not going to lie... I was nearly looking forward to the Frozen thread being revived with the sequel and getting to see that back in action, this time with the excuse to say I was forced to go see it with my daughter.
But... another thread lost.
Aye, I was excited to talk about Frozen 2 with Earthbound again and anyone else who intended to join the conversation. Preferably positively.
But as you said, lost. Because how dare Frozen not be a Bioware creation.
I would love to see an open letter to bioware kind of thing, signed by everyone, and sent to them all official like. Our tweeters could tweet the hell out of it, Facebookers could link, and tumblr... Well. They can just do whatever the hell it is they do anyway.It seems like a lot of people have had ideas about forum management that they've forwarded on to Bioware employees or moderators, but those have been sent as individuals.

The "What Changes Would You Like To See" thread was supposed to serve that purpose. Bioware knows what fans want. They just haven't done much with it.

I think we could even come up with fair rules for them and nominate our own volunteer mods. Make it super official looking.
Pictures taken to be posted on social media so they acknowledge they got it, say they read it(which they probably will), and then it'll get binned or put in a desk somewhere.
Sad times.
I'm probably going to let the White Frost kill me if they don't reopen the OT soon.
If that is what it'll take to bring back Off Topic, Ciri you are a worthy casualty.
Fiery Phoenix stays tho because phoenixes rise from the ashes and all that

If enough people want to do that, then the only question is where do gather to put together an open letter?

Well, that was a bit scattershot too though. Not the kind of forum overhaul I think a lot of us would like to see, and me in particular with how moderation works.
I don't see this thread going anywhere without someone from BioWare interacting with us.

I don't think it's meant to go anywhere , it's just a place to vent .
I think Conal said as much.

Kind of...
This thread won't be locked for now because it is a way for the rest of you to communicate with us on how you feel about this decision. People who are violating the TOS in this thread, however, may have their posts moderated.
Honestly this thread is just a place to vent. I wouldn't be surprised if someone ignored everything said in the first week after their sudden closure of Off Topic just because "they're heated, give them time".
As if time is gonna make a difference.

Just as planned...
