These boards should have been community run a long time ago. We can do better than this I'm sure of it. Halo has waypoint, the mass effect community is going to need an answer to it especially with multiplayer starting up again.

 

Imagine a bigger better BSN run by the community with more dedicated subsections and features we've never had before like class-builder tools for multiplayer, better social feature integration and chat and beyond. Anybody thinking of starting new forums share your thoughts here so we can get a list going all the would-be volunteer  admins/mods and developers who would all be going their separate all moving in the same direction and hopefully BSN can rise from the ashes bigger and better than before.

 

Nobody wants a post-BSN situation where we end up splitting the community far and wide across collection of tiny fractious rinky-dink fan forum backwaters. If the community pulls together and we get all of our would be mods/admins and developers working together and splitting the workload it would be the best outcome for the entire community.

Waypoint is community run?

No it's not but it the community is heavily involved - it's the best example of a community message board I've ever seen in this industry. It's crucial to Halo's multiplayer community and audience participation so Microsoft heavily support it.  BSN is pretty crap by comparison. I reckon some of the posters on here can and will do a better job of running the successor to this site than BioWare.

Well, I'm finally going to take up Drainin's invitation from like 3 months ago to join the topshelf brigade.

 

Because I need somewhere to be an excessively chill SJW. (Thanks for teaching me that acronymn, BSN!)

Honestly, a room full of Chimpanzees sitting at computers would do a better job than Bioware.

I wouldn't be surprised if BSN ends up turning into some chatboard on like, Origin or some crap. 10 bucks says that's the move EA makes when Andromeda releases... A real shame too. This forum used to be a fun place

10 bucks says EA charges you 10 bucks to get into said chatboard.

Farewell ZipZap2000. I didn't really know you. I didn't really like you. But you were obviously a long-timer here, and you even had that cute Ryncol sipping gimmick that everyone loved.

 

So, in honor of you...

It's like paying for porn. We have the Internet, what idiots among us keep paying for that anymore?

Now whether that's before or after they ask me to sell my mother too, that's anyone's guess

Before, but after they ask you for your firstborn.

Yet the fact that people keep trying to sell it suggests that somebody is buying it.

Oh, exactly. People pay for porn for the same reason people pay for day one dlc.

People are stupid.

And EA makes bank off of it.

I honestly thought you were an actual bot.

Hahaha. Maybe it's this "Ryncol" but that was hilarious.

Brevity is the soul of wit said this dude once or whatever.

Good luck though!
