I was thinking of something along "The Refuge"... it might be treated as a joke and it's in now wa related to Bioware at all, I'm in no hurry anyway I have until the 26th of Aug (probably launch a week or so before that).

 

Just stop by to say THANK YOU!!!! for your amazing effort.

Hi.

I hope you don't mind me posting this here (someone else might come up with better translation), but I added Polish translations next to sections. Only DAO and DAI names are a bit different than English ones, so I added Polish equivalents. Also, word "lore" is hard to interpret in Polish, so I'll use what's used on this forum in Polish section, which is "universe of [insert game]". If you're looking for different translation, just say a word.

And btw, good you didn't copy those from here, since they're divided a bit differently.

Oh, and one more thing. In case you plan to add Fan Creations section, it's Twórczość Fanów.


Much appreciated m8, I'll be adding the Polish section today!

The German stuff :D We have the same problem as Polish regarding the word 'Lore'. There's nothing as pretty in German, so I'll just follow Rascoth's approach (also stealing the fan creations idea) :)



Thanks for working so hard,everyone!! <3


Much appreciated guys, thanks so much for the support :-)

Apologies if it seems that way, it's just a placeholder.. as you can see in the post after I was asking for name suggestions.

 

I wouldn't worry about it. It isn't like those board names are copyrighted or anything. Stick to your guns and give your boards the best names that you can think up :)

For a name that evokes the origins while still sounding like it's own, independent thing, maybe something like:

 

BioNauts

BioKnights

 

I'm a bit partial to the first one in the sci-exploration sense.

 

I was thinking of something along "The Refuge"... it might be treated as a joke and it's in now wa related to Bioware at all, I'm in no hurry anyway I have until the 26th of Aug (probably launch a week or so before that).

 

That's actually a great name. There is a forum born from BSN called "The Shelter," a name inspired by a similar process.

Hi everyone. 

 

Could someone please list the alternaitve threads that are popping up so it is easy for folks to compare and make a choice for their new home?  Is there anyone on here who is really keeping track of who is doing what? Apologies if this already exists somehwere...

 

Maybe something like...

 

Creator - Group name - Site Link (if it is up)  - purpose of the site (since there seems to be some different appraoches to what is important to preserve).

 

Is that possible at this point?  I am just a bit lost about who is doing what and where folks are going once this place shuts down...

 

Thanks! :rolleyes: (and hope I don't sound like a complete rube)

Others have linked you the current index, but I'll mention that the individual sites also have each other indexed somewhere prominent, as well. Or, rather, they are in the process of doing that, I'm not sure how many already have. So as we go forward, any one of them will serve to link you to the others, as well.

Hello everyone,

Sadly it was announced today that in August our beloved Bioware forums will be no more.

Now we can spend lots of time and effort trying to convince Bioware otherwise, efforts that might be wasted if and when they decide to go ahead with their decision anyway.

The alternative is we can actually start a 3rd party forum of our own and move over there, Reddit and other alternatives are good but they do not give a full forum experience.

What I can provide from my end is the hosting and technical work, a few Linode/Digital Ocean nodes for hosting and a couple of weeks to get everything up and running.

I'll need moderators and admins on the forum as well as any design/technical help.. maybe even with enough work we can make a bot to backup the threads here and archive them.

Haven't thought of a domain name yet but I have fairly concrete plan for the most important stuff (like community software and such).

I need your opinion guys if this is a good idea or not, I don't want to start working and wasting effort for nothing.. but I'd really hate to this community disperse like this.

Tell my what you think.





I am all for it lets pack our bags and move.

I have a question for the owners/developers of the alternate sites.

 

I write fanfiction that I also update in fanfiction.net and archiveofourown. However, I also have what I consider more of a scrapbook/diary for one of my Inquisitors, Jasmine's Journal. I can't mirror it on the other sites because text and images are interspersed. I don't like to leave things unfinished, but even if I weren't trying to finish my current fanfic before the site closes I still wouldn't have time to finish. It takes time to go through the screen shots and format them the way I want for each entry. Will any of your sites allow me to update JJ in the same fashion?

 

I am looking into alternate means of sharing, I just thought I'd ask. No rush, I know you are already working hard. 

 

Thank you.

Yes, it should work out fine.

 

As a writer I encourage writing and enjoy reading things, therefore my site has a User Writings section. If you would like to, you can post Jasmine's Journal on there and I can give you some feedback on it after this whole mess with BSN Prime shutting down ends (maybe even before then).  

 

I'd really love having someone else that likes writing on hand to discuss and share writings with, but no pressure or hard feelings if you don't wish to come to VSN :)

I guess something like "Dragon Effect" might be too on the nose?


If you are trying to make a site discoverable to new fans of old franchises, it's not possible to be too obvious. I really like Dragon Effect.

Another one: Skyhold Citadel.

The forum is providing plenty of drama these days, but not really of that particular variety.

 

People are all sharing information, providing resources to help people to connect to each group. Somewhat less exciting than the Mad Maxian battle for control of the dwindling desert space one might expect.

 

 

 

 

Now I wanna convince everyone to start having armed dunebuggy races.

Can OP edit the original post to list the forum options like they did in the closed thread: https://forum.biowar...between-forums/

 

It really is easier to find the information if it's update in the OP rather than somewhere in the middle of all the pages of this thread.

I don't think that other thread is closed anymore (at least for the moment). :P  But I agree that the post listing the forum options is very good. I've been sharing it with others who want to see it and having it in more places is a good thing.

Talks about Mass Effect, Dragon Age, other non Bioware games, nice chat box, many emojis to use, nice random threads section, and more. All free, and it a very fun place.

ViSeiRa, the forum design looks GREAT so far! Really appreciative of the work you're doing, please let us know how we can help if you need it <3

 

As for forum names, I'd say call it the Wasteland because of how apocalyptic this forum nuke feels, but that's the wrong franchise ;p Bioland? BeWare Fans? Order 66? I'm Too Salty To Think Up Real Suggestions For Names Forum? :P

Guys, the OP has been updated with the latest info on my project.. all feedback is appreciated, I'm almost done and soon I'll be looking for a couple of super moderators for launch, individual forum moderators will be chosen after launch if my plans don't change.
