As a thought-

 

I'm all for a parallel community like this, but it might be better to piggy-back onto some other forum. Since BSN's most remarkable thing is it's lore focus, another lore forum for games would be welcome.

 

I've heard things about RPG codex. Not all good, but it's an established community with a breadth of games and topics about them. What I have heard suggests that lore is a selling point- and that's what we all are, right?

 

I'm creating an account there- same name and all- so hopefully I'll see you there. I've seen some familiar faces there already.

 

Cheers,

 

Dean

Well I checked out RPG codex, but noped out quite fastly. That's kinda crowd that I don't want to be associated with- and that does seem to be even less into associating with me. They had thread already complaining how SJW's from BSN are going to ruin their precious forum ^^;

 

I did saw another forum option, but I don't remember it's name and I don't have link right here so I'll edit and post it in later.

I think the Romance Defense Force having its own forum works just fine, since "groups" on the BSN effectively separate us anywho.

As for more general forums, so far I think the above-mentioned Real Dragon Age Fans, Fextralife, and Top Shelf Gaming are all viable options?

[SmilesJA]

It's okay, I don't want to go to that cesspool of a forum anyway.

I'm sorry about this guys.

 

I'm a relative newcomer to this place and I haven't really been active on it for a while, so it likely doesn't mean nearly as much to me as it does to a lot of you. All the same, it seemed like a special place and I'm sad to see it go. I had some good discussions on here.

 

Hope to see you guys elsewhere. 

[Dean_the_Young]

Top shelf has more of the better people I've seen- including our very own Artifice- so I'll probably set up there most. RPG codex may be the lore hunt, but still.

 

Good to know Lady and Gorgi and some others will be around.

[Lady Artifice]

Top Shelf Gaming is worth looking into guys. There are some really great posters there, though plenty of contention. The energy there is also pretty aggressively anti-SJW, but it has a reasonable variety, and it's more laid back than it was at it's conception. 

[Rel Fexive]

So what's the plan?  Little community in the RDF forum, get our info and have big discussions from elsewhere, e.g. Top Shelf?

RPG Codex is like No Mutants Allowed, just a place to be a negative douchebag, so noping on that aswell. Actually found this comment there right now  about the forum shutdown.

 

"One of the biggest SJW shitholes for retards and perverts is finally shutting down. Thank you EA."

 

Will check out the forum you linked to. 

[nightscrawl]

To be honest, the fact that people keep posting these different sites, meaning that the forum community is just going to be scattered over the internet, has killed any desire I have to look into some other place.

 

Nothing can replace the BSN. The fact that these were the official forums meant something.

 

 

One silver lining... sort of... is that it won't be a struggle for me to drop out of the DA fandom after the announcement of DA4, since these forums won't exist. Hell, right now I'm not even sure that DA4 or Bioware will exist.

[Dani100]

Damn, this sucks! I tried to write a good bye post in the Sera thread, got so emotional.

I deleted my account once and wanted to delete it again but I'm glad I couldn't. There were difficult times for me but the wonderful times brought me some great memories and really good friends. This is so sad.

This is what I'm afraid of.

You have to adjust to the culture of a new forum, and so many places out there are hostile to 1) BSNers in general, and 2) people who aren't douchebros. BSN was like a happy medium. Occasionally it got sticky and gross, but for most of its history it's been a relatively welcoming environment - and no, I haven't forgotten ME3's endings or the post-DA2 meltdown. You can't find that everywhere.

Even if other gaming forums weren't hostile to DA/ME fans and everything Bioware creates (and they often are)... it's going to be difficult to find a place that's not inundated with a bunch of other games that I don't care about. /whinging

I'm holding out hope for Fexelea's place and maybe the Real Dragon Age Fans forums, but I don't know. I'm just so disappointed. If the company doesn't tank and DA4's still in the works, but I'm going to be sooooo excited to come talk about it and then I'll remember that I can't.

[vertigomez]

I wonder if Dave knows. ;______;

[nightscrawl]

^ He posted earlier in the Gay KISA thread.

[Lady Artifice]

So I'm joining most of the forums that are opening. I'm already a member of the two splinter off topic forums, both of which are at least worth looking into.

 

Just a word of warning guys, the manager/creator of the one being treated as a default replacement, can be a little sketchy.

[Rel Fexive]

Which one is this alleged default?

[vertigomez]

I've joined several, but I'm backing away from the "default" one (the one that's named BSN) because... yeah. Seems maybe... sketchy.

Right now I'm pinning my hopes on Fexelea because she seems to have the knowledge and resources for a big move. It looks like she wants to try to preserve as much content as possible and hopefully transfer current member profile information..? I don't know. Worth a look.

Other than that I'm still dipping my toes in the others. And grieving.

^ He posted earlier in the Gay KISA thread.

Ah, good then. Has anyone seen Nat?

[DomeWing333]

What manner of sketchy are we talking about here?

You don't say. Just read her... blog thing, I guess it's a blog. Well, not so much read as skimed through it and... yeah... probably one to avoid.

 

However, her forum is attracting people so I'll still keep an eye on it.

 

The graphic designer in me absolutely hates the logo she's got on it though. Yuck.

I...I see.

 

Well, I'll just--I'll just be, uh..walking....over here...then.

Nope.  I definitely want to see her thoughts on it.

In addition to what Gomez showed you, they tend to lie a lot.

 

And they once posted that they're "too good" for poetry, in my poetry thread. Weirded me out.

[Lady Artifice]

Nope.  I definitely want to see her thoughts on it.

 

 

Dave! ::massive internet hug::

 

Thanks for joining my forum. I'm a little uncertain what to do right now. I don't want the RDF to become host to mass of people, but I also want it to be active enough that we can all stay in contact.
