This place really does bring people together.

 

Blackholes tend to do that.

The Help section in general is widely discussing the New Site Issue. This thread was mostly about all of us loosing our heads at the news, grieving and (still) hopelessly trying to reverse the shut down.

 

But, I have some suggested places in my sig too if you want to take a gander. 

Thanks, though I've been posting over at RDAF already; of the ones suggested so far, I think it suits me the best. All I meant was that I think it a bit callous and counter-productive that people asking for advice on alternative websites were having their threads closed as being "off-topic" and were being sent to this thread, which, let's be honest, isn't the most efficient or necessarily relevant read.

I remember a friend of mine from school used to get odd looks because she loved reading scifi. Most girls were reading romance novels and fashion magazines. Scifi felt too unfamiliar to them (even though they had never read any of it). But she said she loved it and suggested I read all the books from Asimov and Philip K. Dick. I thought they would be too hard to read - because I was one of those people who thought scifi books were "overloaded with technobabble and complex scientific ideas" -, so she suggested I started by Fahrenheit 451, a book she considered an easy read. 

 

When I first read Fahrenheit 451, it completely changed my mind about the genre. Here in Brazil, women sadly prefer soap opera and romance over scifi. It wasn't until TV series like Star Trek were broadcast that some of them came to like scifi. Many still have that old prejudice that scifi is a typically masculine genre, even when you have women like Mary Shelley, Julian May and Ursula LeGuin, all well known scifi authors. 

Ah yes, romance novels. It's going to be totally off-topic but...

I remember when, many years ago, one time when I was in the Library I saw a whole wall of Harlequin romance novels. Most women were really into them then. Curious what all that hype was about I took one of them from the shelf, opened it on a random page and started reading...

...I laughed so hard they threw me out of the library. Fun times...

Ah. Yeah. Pretty much everything about this is crappy.

Excuse me?

 

Edmure was right, Robb was the fool.

Edmure can't tie his shows without making a decision that switches the war in favor of the Lannisters

Bioware may no longer see this forum as the best place to interact with their fans, but fans have built up our own communities here over the years.  This is especially the case concerning older games, like my personal favourite, the eternally moddable Neverwinter Nights.  NWN fans don't mind a bit if Bioware don't post.  We are just happy to have a place with long continuity where we can post about custom content, modules, scripting, etc., and read the old topics that go back for years. 

 

I am deeply disappointed by this decision.  I could understand it better and would feel more sympathetic towards the choice if it was to save money.  But to be able to afford this place and still choose to take it away from those who value it doesn't make the least bit of sense to me.  I wish those in charge of deciding this would reconsider.

...or TSG. We offer kittens. And dank memes.

Or just join both.

 

Dinosaurs too!

LOL. Now there is a good chance I will not learn of the release of Mass Effect Andromeda.
You expect me to use Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr or Reddit? LOL. Those sites are horrible.

I really don't know how people can only now feel that way about MEA. That's how I've felt about it ever since they announced they didn't have the stones to address the ending to 3 and were instead going to burn the lore to the ground by moving the series to another galaxy. It's pretty rare you screw up so badly so that you have to abandon an entire galaxy.

Yeah, ME3 as a whole (not just the ending) was what killed my love of Mass Effect. Since the day I beat ME3 (2 days after it was released) I've never been able to touch the first two games which I loved let alone care about any new games in the series.

It's been a bit. I trust everything is going well with you Sim?

Geth, House, and Dee are my online friends.

 

How can anything go well with them?

Maybe it's a good thing that you'll no longer be able to waste your time here, then.

This thread has totally devolved into: "THEY SAY WE'RE TOXIC? HOW DARE THEY. I ALWAYS [insert string of toxic comments broken up into dozens of posts]."

 

 

No, they never actually said BSN being toxic was why they're shutting it down. It's just not relevant anymore.

[Seraphim24]

They never didn't say BSN being toxic was why they're shutting it down.

This is true.

They may not want to deal with MEA meltdown and besides it's better to have people on facebook twitter tumblr spamming their friends.

The other platform works as free advertisement Bioware doesn't have to moderate too much.

Whether one goes to TSG or VSN, or elsewhere is a decision that people will make for their themselves. Whilst I am a mod/admin on TSG, I have no particular interest in pushing people one way or the other. I encourage people to look at the site, and if it's not for them, that's absolutely fine.

 

But I do strongly urge people not to put their eggs into the Cassandra Saturn basket. She is a pathological liar and an delusional narcissist. Her own bio states that she joined the Navy at 14, she's claimed that she's owned a Fighter Jet, and has been fundamentally dishonest about herself in just about every way imaginable.

 

Whatever problems (real or imagined) one may have with the splinter sites, I think most of us can agree on that.

Let's say Cassandra's lying about her history. Why should we care about that?

[Simfam]

Cass is the best damn troll in this forum.

 

We believe the lies about her lies.
