Well you're lurking there, right?

 

Only occasionally, and usually I just search for my handle to see what others are saying regarding me and my continued presence here.

So, why is BJ posting on Vroom and not here?

 

*shrugs*

 

Because that place has its own discussions where people are pissed about what happened here. The exiled version of this.

I've done a lot of brainstorming today and wondered if you guys could tell me exactly what you would do to change things around here? How would you do it? What rules would you like to see enforced?

 

Man I've posted ideas so much that I don't even feel like going over them again right now.

Maybe it's a troll account (I have my doubts, given the bravado shown with the "do you want me to private message you from my BSN account?" comment). Maybe it's not tied to any sort of Bioware computer or account he could be officially linked to. Maybe posting on the BSN has some sort of agreement Bryan can't violate, but can when he posts elsewhere.


Or... maybe he knows the only people who know about that site are Bioware forum regulars or people in this thread. And he knows no one else from Bioware is reading this thread to know to check the site out and see his responses. Who knows? Heck, maybe they issued him his two weeks notice and he just doesn't give a rip.

 
I compared the IP Address to that of all of VSN's registered users and it was unique, granted that there are multiple things that could have been done, but make of it what you will.

I hope the doxxer reads this message. You're a *****. Get over yourself, loser. No thinks it's cool, and you're not cool either. So quit being a ****** and grow some balls. If you're not happy then vote with your wallet. I still haven't bought DA: Inq, and I probably won't either after this. 

Brojo confirmed this happened a while back. Pre gamer-gate while back.

Community Manager Conal Pierse could start by actually addressing the community and at least explain the decision beyond the nonsense he gave us in the OP, if not discuss whether it was a good decision and consider reversing it or suggesting its reversal to those who make the decision.

As far as addressing the 'problems' in OT, it really wasn't that bad to begin with. Certainly no worse than any of the communities that are still open. So I'm disinclined to address the issue of how OT needs to be fixed unless you broaden the scope to the whole BSN. In that case, again I think it goes to having stronger community management. Conal Pierse has barely any presence here at all. No one even knew he was community manager until today. Compare that to Chris Priestly from before. Something changed. Change that back.

I'm ambivalent about the use of Bot Mods but I think it wouldn't hurt to bring volunteer moderators back in addition to them. Certainly plenty of people would be willing.

Wait, so BJ is posting in the new forums when we're practically begging them to come post here? Have they been told to stay away from here?

Keep the spoilers and no spoilers forums separated, return OT and have an active CM.

 

Maybe should start a petition at change.org , but all that's to be said have been said here , the ball is in there field now , it's a shame Conal didn't keep up with the thread so far.

I'm not sure what I hate worse: being considered part of a toxic community as a whole or the fact that every time someone utters that word, I get that darn Britney Spears song stuck in my head for the next several hours.

Well, you already know my major bullet points and thoughts from the 6-page manifesto.  :lol:

I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango?
Thunderbolt and lightning,
Very, very frightening me.
(Galileo) Galileo.
(Galileo) Galileo,
Galileo Figaro
Magnifico.
 
So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye?
So you think you can love me and leave me to die?
Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby,
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here.

Change.org isn't gonna do anything for us here. Starting one of those would be looked at with mockery.

EA, just killed off topic, put a gun against its head
Pulled my trigger, now off topics dead
EA, sales had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
EA, ooh, didn't mean to make you cry

They are probably bound by rules in regards to posting here, on the other place not so much. 

 

He and everyone on the forum are getting along just fine by the way and that makes me really happy :)

There is actually precedent to a bioware employee going to talk with people on another forum. I remember Priestly doing the same thing back when the Holdtheline forum was still a thing.

I've seen weirder stuff, still it was a passing thought seeing no one has replied here.

 

I would've tried reddit but someone already had.

They will be back when the next game info is announced and it is time for pre-orders.
