I'm sad that it took the forum closure to see your awesome screenshot-gifs.

 Ha, it's true that I haven't posted as many lately, and I try not to overuse the same ones. But desperate times and all. Maybe I'll make up for it by posting way too many now! Or all in one post!    Closer to the end, of course

 

Gurl I'm gonna miss you and your extensive rolodex of your inquisitor's reactions and expressions

Aww, thanks people

 

It is definitely saddening, but fear not, as I am now on Cyonan's BSN and may try others. I'll be out there, somewhere! I hope we all run into each other again! I'll miss you and your posts too if not.

It's somewhat exciting to see the end of these forums. Having been here on and off for a few years, mostly as an observer, I've seen a few things. Some good, a few very bad. Mass Effect kept me here; not the fans who were mostly all dispensable and easily replaced with another name and avatar who would speak and act out the same as thousands of others. It was fun enough at the time to read the theories or jokes, get some news, and mess around a bit.

 

Not everyone can be a special assembly line snowflake with a single modus operandi as yourself. Cut the mortals some slack.

It could be better said that there is a general hum to the conversation. A consistent but pleasant noise that accompanied the ebb and flow of the current news around the forum isles. The ticker tape of the twitter threads. The clickty clackity of keyboards doing their thing and transmitting the thoughts of hundreds of people brought together by BioWare games from various walks of life with various needs. For a few reasons I made the effort not to attach avatars and names to posts and was successful. Natural inclination perhaps and a desire for objectivity. So many variances to consider in conversations already. Lots of users have come and gone too.

Well there goes the neighborhood.

Sadly I don't really see myself joining any of the new fan forums (though they do look great and the creators have done an awesome job). I want to see the BSN through to the end but after that I'll probably be done with BioWare. Their last few games have had juuust enough of the things I like to keep stringing me along thinking "maybe the next one will be more like ___" and buying each new installment but I can't keep doing that to myself. I think Trespasser was a make it or break it moment for DA for me (and well, you know my thoughts on that) and the thought of playing a new protagonist after that "broke" it just as ME3 "broke" Mass Effect for me. I've become way too gloomy and bitter and would pretty much be a detriment to any new BioWare related community I joined. If MEA ends up being amazing and having all the things I like and miss and word gets back to me about it somehow(the BSN was my only place for BW news) then I will play it and I will seek you guys out on those new forums but I just don't see it happening. I'm not the target demographic of BioWare's new games and will probably just fade into the digital ether.

On a bit of a more humorous note, this gif came to mind earlier. Quick impression of BioWare deciding to take the forums offline. It's probably my last chance to show it off here.



To make sure this is on topic: This is a bad idea, forum heads. Please, take the time between now and October to reconsider this.

Sadly there is probably no chance that Bioware will reconsider. It seems like this has been something they've been considering since at least 2012, and the closure of Off Topic was probably around the time the decision was made. A lot of people were predicting that was likely just the first phase of this place being wound down. Turns out they were right.

Heya

[ModernAcademic]

Well, if someone has a friend on Anonymous, now is a good time to ask them for some action. Before the Reapers come and obliterate the BSN come August 26.

Sorry, but this is overwrought backpedaling to avoid commitment to your own text. If you EC your post, at least keep the narrative intact and own it.

Ive been feeling the same way about Bioware's direction with their recent games.

I'm still curiuos about hoe mea will turn out. I'll be following the new forums to see peoples impression s at least.

You could always join either TSG or VSN which were always meant to be off topic forums rather than a surrogate BSN. Same community (or parts of it) but with very little BioWare discussion.

[Alan Rickman]

Could we please get a very clear and detailed list of what we ARE allowed to discuss?

 

I feel like it would be very helpful. Thank you in advance.

[GoldenGail3]

We can't talk about the mods, or else they'll ban you for it...

First rule of mod club.. we don't talk about mod club.

[GoldenGail3]

But I can still hit on Mod 2 , can't I?

[Biotic Apostitute]

In general, is there anything sadder than quoting yourself? It really is rather pathetic.

By gosh, I am so right on this point! And when I'm right, I am right!

We can't discuss *redacted* or *redacted* not even *redacted*.

 

Hell if I wanted to ask *redacted* to *redacted* my *redacted* I couldn't which is sad because my *redacted* needs *redacted* *redacted*

[GoldenGail3]

Well, *redacted* choice to block me for 48 for talking about *redacted*\

 

And I though *redacted* loved me. Why did *redacted* ban me, instead of *redacted*.

[Dio Demon]

Well, *redacted* choice to *redacted* me for 48 for *redacted* about *redacted*\

 

And I thought *redacted* *redacted* me. Why did *redacted* *redacted* me, instead of *redacted*.

Had to make sure this post met the new guidelines.

[GoldenGail3]

Indeed, it did. Now, where's my favourite *redacted*?
