Did not know there was an official thread for this. 

 

Ok: Please don't shut down the forums. I like it here. To the fans, these forums are about way more than giving feedback to the devs. They let us talk to each other. They are part of the fandom. I understand if the devs don't want to interact with them, but that's not really the primary function of them anymore. Hasn't been for a while. They're a fandom community. Please do not shut them down.

I'm here to discuss with people, i don't need the developers here. I just want a place to talk about my favorite franchise with other people that share the same passion and you're just destroying it.

 

Let the fans take care of it and reconsider this decision, please.

[straykat]

Oh, man. Where are we going to complain about every single little thing now?

 

And I loved spending my night's shitposting and talking to people about futa, Gayliens and tentacle hentai. 

 

At least you stayed on topic.

 

I think?

You guys(forumites) will forgive me if I'm a little mad right now, right?

You advertised our forum here, you've earned a presidential pardon for today.

[LastFadingSmile]

...so long as that place isn't your forums. Gotcha.

[SnakeCode]

This is pretty funny tbh. Watching the various BSN splinter groups scrambling to get new members is entertaining too.

[Cyonan]

I'd say it's a stupid move, and it is, but it's clear since the closure of off-topic that BioWare doesn't want a community of fans anymore.

 

So **** it, here's another link to TSG: http://topshelfgaming.boards.net/

This really sucks. I remember being on these boards before it merged to this when EA bought Bioware. I've found many friends here who share similar interests. I know forums are seen as archaic but they still serve purposes that a Twitter can't ever do...

So basically, don't use anything at all. Blackout mode. 

 

Because Twitter isn't it. Who talks about RPGs (especially lore) on Twitter.

[Catilina]

In the social media I should look for the themes, here are all the in. But of course I understand. Need money and energy to maintain.

I'm just looking back on many of my positive memories of this place and wondering why the hell Bioware didn't fix this place so that more of those memories could be made.

Not even On-topic is wanted.

This thread is now on-topic. End of Line.

Ah, I've hit my quota of positive votes for the day.

We had a good run. 2010-2016

Tim Kaine here agreeing with that pardon.

[TheodoricFriede]

The company that cares.

 

Pathetic.

[Shechinah]

I'm sad and disappointed by this: this was the place where I came to discuss the games be it lore, gameplay or characters with other fans. There are in-depth discussions about the lore that I find unavaliable elsewhere.

I also admit that I genuinely do not understand the reason behind it since these forums are not used only as a way to communicate with the developers, it is used primarily as a way for the fans to converse and discuss the games. These forums are still very much in use from what I've seen.

[Someone With Mass]

The logic behind that first post is confusing to me. If you're looking for a more direct contact with the fans, this is not the way to do it. Yeah, sites like Facebook, Twitter or whatever the hell ensures more exposure, but you can literally speak directly to the fans on sites like this one.

What's really funny is that I frequently came to this site because it wasn't like Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter and other obnoxious social media sites.

But if that's the way you want to end it, I doubt I can do much to change that. The last six years have been a weird roller coaster ride and I knew that it wouldn't last forever. It's just sad that you don't want it to be more than a comment section.

[straykat]

This is just divide and conquer. No need for much damage control (if necessary) on the next release.

[LPPrince]

Yeah, and my tear ducts are like, "So, are we gonna do it? No? Okay, well you let us know."

They didn't care with Off Topic, they won't care now.

[Iakus]

The benefit of a forum is its accessible to less socially engaged segments of your market. We don't all have big online social networks.

 

Very much this

Aye, there are some great discussions to be had on here, both serious and nonsensical. It will be a shame to see it go.

I understand. I had over 20,000 posts here too before I deleted my account, before I undeleted it to debate
 

I wonder how the posters who were gleefully happy over Off-Topic being nuked to **** because it "deserved it" feel about this.

One of those guys.

Before DA2 and ME3, I actually had a lot of friends here discussing BioWare games. ALmost all of them left with the negativity and the rest of us stuck around for off-topic, but that doesn't mean we were inherently hostile to BioWare's products, as they seem to think.

[Salarian Master Race]

Translation:  All of our recent games have met with criticism and we can't let anybody see that so in order to curtail future criticism we are silencing everyone
