Quite. Responses and statements like that are what keep us here and keep us away from other places. Because other places don't want us as a result of statements like that.
But what can we do? Bioware's throwing us out and expecting us to live with the wolves. Wolves who are starving.
I'd make a joke about gathering wolf pelts to cover my bear arse, but my heart's just not in it after all this.
The mods must be having the time of their lives.

Same. I had a good shedding of tears earlier due to years and years of good memories coming back, realizing that I won't have any more and neither would all the newbies that would've arrived in the future.
Yeah the worst is it wasn't just happening on the BSN.Even Neogaf had a main DA2 troll thread where everyone said it was crappy http://www.neogaf.co...ad.php?t=422971
Everyone on the internet was also mocking ME3 ending.
There were some altercation between fans and Bioware employee on Twitter , D. Gaider got chased away from Tumblr.
But somehow the BSN is that toxic cesspool where people are strangely negative about Bioware.Sure , like an isolated island.
Second widespread mockery about BSN is the fans are degenerate with their weird fetish about romance...Bioware ..."Ride the Bull"?
It wasn't the fan that did this.
Despite Bioware's recent attempts at courting NeoGAF I don't think those forums are ever going to embrace them the way they want. The Mass Effect thread get about five posts every few weeks and the enthusiasm just isn't there. There is essentially zero Dragon Age presence there.

I will ask however is will the Dragon Age Keep still be up? Or will that be moved to another area?
David Gaider said on his Twitter that closing down the BioWare forums was overdue. I'll never spend a penny on anything he touches.
I wasn't here when Gaider used to come to the forum, but judging from a few of his posts, he didn't strike me as a very nice person. More than often he would use a condescending tone. As if the player was stupid and needed to have things explained to them because they weren't clever enough to interpret the lore and characters he had helped to write on their own.
You've got to join one or two of these other forums springing up! We need the grand-daddy of the BioWare community!
I've been on the VSN for a while now. Its not the place to keep talking about Bioware products, but a lot of past forum members use it to keep connected after Bioware made them feel unwelcome.
More should join. http://vroomvroom.freeforums.net

I wonder about that too. My name is in the credits since I helped while it was in its infancy;I hope it doesn't just disappear.

I may be totally wrong on this, so feel free to correct, but I also heard something to the effect of him spiting Dorianmancers by stating he preferred Dorian with Iron Bull, like they were better for each other or something, which kinda sucks since those were the only 2 options for gay men.

If enough people join we may see about adding DA or ME subforums if there's really a demand for it, but I kinda doubt it. These ruffians are slandering our good name with accusations of uneven-handedness.
Would be cool, depending on how many of the people here catch on and join.

I want to clear up any potential confusion and say that discussing Bioware isn't discouraged or anything, heck, we've got two fairly popular Inquisition and Andromeda threads

Do we? Huh. I only ever use the forum to keep in touch with my friends since Bioware didn't want me to do it here.
Consider making sections for the games if enough people desire it.

Wouldn't it be best to put up some subforums and see what happens. If you build it they will come. Its not like they can't be removed later. Anyway I think I had enough laughs for one night.

That's the plan per Puddi 
Just out of curiosity does anyone know of other AAA devs that simply don't have any official forums of any kind?

Well Bethesda redid its forums and it was totally anti user friendly .Does that count?

I think it was [mainly?] about Doribull, but because the ship is seen as ultra ~problematic on tumblr, because for some of them it promotes abuse. And that Gaider has no place writing a moc, of course. Basically BioWare should hire poc to write [straight] poc, and *poc lgbt to write poc lgbt.
*Don't forget gender! You can't have a white male writing a queer woc. That's very troubling.

It'd also be great if the VSN offered complimentary hugs to people who feel burned by this news. Make that a thing.

~goes to check his old account~
That is pretty ugly. But I'd prefer ugly over non-existent.
I am going to gag every time Bioware delivers "we listen to our fans" from now on swear on me mum.

Thanks. I still want to punch things though.
