Then I suppose https://realdragonagefans.forums.net/ would be the next option.
I've signed up there as well. Nice forum. I'm also waiting to see how Fexalea's forum turns out. Says he/she will have something out by Monday and is just waiting to see about importing/archiving this forum. Here's a link to the thread:
https://forum.biowar...-collaboration/
No one has ever cared for nerds in the slightest, that much is clear. I mean, look at all the recent approaches in game publishing and the assorted cycles (journalists, for example). The current trend is "games don't have to be about nerdy people anymore, we want the hip, new audience, "gamers" don't matter, etc, etc".
Contrary to popular belief, my feelings toward most of them are still neutral. Though I feel like there is a reason they chose to stick up for the two we banned and thus like I said, it's for the best regardless. Though it would appear they have since vacated the premises of even TSG and I am awfully curious to hear the details about that.
Contrary to popular belief
You don't just censor.
You steal.
RDF seems alright. Definitely gonna take a bit to get accustomed to the site but at least they are friendly and openly welcoming, unlike r/dragonage which seems to be adamantly against BSN peeps and their inherent "toxicity".

And that makes Bioware look stupid expecting us to go to those places(reddit)
Among other things.
Steal hearts probably
The Big Bang Theory is incredibly offensive, I think. They have all these nerdy references, and then nothing. The nerdiness isn't the platform for jokes; the nerdiness is the joke.
For what minority group would that be even vaguely acceptable? So why is it okay for nerds.
I did not mean anything by it, I did not know of that person, and, there are many males on here who use female avatars,so one never knows unless it is brought up in conversation, Ieldra, for example.

Vindication?
"Gamers don't have to be your audience. Gamers are over."
You're damn right we're over! Just listen to those reactions we're getting week after week, town after town.

Cass is transgender and a notable troll who speaks in the third person, has multiple accounts, pretends to be different people thru those accounts putting themselves over, and pretends that when they repeatedly leave and return to a forum that everyone cares because its a momentous occasion.
I'm actually shocked that Bioware NEVER did anything about it after all the complaints they got.
They are the worst.
I remember having one and then when someone was giving me a hard time people were saying to leave "her"(me) alone. I was like C'MON
About the forum closures . . . .
Disappointed? Yes. Upset? Yes. Do I understand? Not so much.
I come to the forums almost daily. 'Post your inquisitor here' is one of the topics I follow regularly. I don't like using twitter, except when I've had a simple technical problem (usually DAKeep related). I enjoy reading theories about the game, nuanced discussions on the lore or characters, etc,
I can't count the number of times since DAO I've come here to find answers to either technical questions or gameplay questions. Maybe it's about relationships between my Warden/Hawke/Inquisitor and companions, why I'm not getting the result I thought I would, etc. I could always find the answers in the forum. These answers were, 99% of the time, from other fans. When I read through a topic and came across a reply from Allan, Bryan, or another Bioware employee I considered that a bonus or courtesy rather than an expectation. Well, except in the Feedback forums where I did expect some official posts either as replies or new topics. Whenever I posted my opinions on one of the Dragon Age games (have not played Mass Effect yet) I always tried to constructively/diplomatically explain why I did or did not like a certain aspect. For the most part, I didn't run across a great deal of the more toxic posts, and I always felt comfortable posting my opinions. Of course, that could just be selective memory at work, 
.
I am a big fan of Dragon Age, and value the in-depth discussions between fans. The forums make it easy to follow a discussion and easy to reply and get involved. I also check your news forums for information. I found out about the Keep, the books, and the comics from your forums, not twitter. I have all the books and the grapic novels except Magekiller. I'm waiting for that to come out in a 'library'.
You, Bioware, say you pay more attention to/interact more on other sites. I know about the DA twitter thread and your Facebook page, neither of which can offer the same discussion capabilities. Which sites do you interact with that have a similar capability and ease of use as your own forums?
Even if you think the best decision is to lock down the forums - why do you wish to abolish them entirely? The gold mine of information on your older games seems like it should be a benefit to new customers to those games. Then there are other, technical questions I have that should be addressed:
I really can't count live events such as PAX as significantly interacting with your fans. I just can't imagine that the number of fans able to go to these events is anywhere near as high as the number of fans on these forums. If you count videotaping your events and posting them, then maybe I'm wrong. Call me old-fashioned but to me interacting means live, with the opportunity for back and forth questions/discussions.
I prefer you reconsider your decision, but if you are determined on this course then please address these concerns first. Thank you.
To LPPrince...Well, I would rather be in her world right now then, than mine. Mine is too real, and, too sad. I need these forums, I need the fantasy, and, this has always been the place I chose. It can not end, it just can't.
They are the worst.
Speak for yourself.
The only thing that's worse are those weirdos who have anthropomorphic animals as avatars.
What about the evil eye avatars that stare right through your soul?
She speaks for us all.
Always have.
Always will.

There are better locations with more trustworthy management.
The VSN http://vroomvroom.freeforums.net
The RDF https://realdragonagefans.forums.net
Try those
...If you people don't give a damn about the community that the fans have built for themselves, then just say so. Be honest. Please don't try to offer platitudes that you actually care when by your very actions you're showing that you don't.
Showing that you care would be to acknowledge that you are killing this community, even if it doesn't change anything in the end.
In this whole situation THIS is what angers me the most. Although, over last 6+ years, I really enjoyed reading some discussions on this forum, I was mostly a lurker writing a post or two when I felt the need to do so. I'll be fine with the BSN gone, kind of sad but fine. The anger I feel is because I saw how much this place meant for some people. How much they loved being here and how much they cheerished having an oportunity to talk with others who shared their passion for this games. Bioware should show those people at least a little bit of respect and be honest about why they're taking away this place from them and not hide behind "pretty" statements.
What about the evil eye avatars that stare right through your soul?
Joke's on them because I don't have a soul.
