The unanswered question is why the domesticated fowl, although in all fairness, it could have been wild, unlikely as that may be, traversed the right of way. The answer may lie in its final state, but truly it remains one of the great imponderables.

My understanding is, according to the Mass Effect codex, the fowl arrived at the conclusion 42ish.

Regardez.

Will the last word on the matter be here or there? Here is preferred but unlike those whose last words bear themselves glory and return the unctuous mask.

Putting all the classical pseudo eruditics behind us, are there any new boards? We are in the last week of this place being open, so if anyone is offering safe haven, this may be your last chance.

 

As registered members continue to come here in lesser numbers, the 7 forums previously discussed, are it.

I don't think further additions would be helpful.

It will a challenge for those 7 to all remain viable without 'official' traffic.

Edit: Nevermind. This one should stay on topic and productive.

You just don't get it, man. The dead crayons are standing on the precipice of the hand, that is calloused, but also firm. So firm, that it holds the grindstone and would rancorously throw caustic grist at BW. Those, who do not agree, sit hypocritically behind their transparent walls.

No one suggested snubbing anyone. The first person to mention anything actually spoke in favor of offering everyone a clean slate, and the person to respond to them also endorsed that approach, while stipulating careful moderation. 
 
It seems that you may have perceived a sentiment that wasn't actually expressed.

As my previous response to this was to that general idea and to the open and closed hands that hold it, this is to answer you directly and plainly, Lady Artifice:

The concern that some individuals and groups would bring their petty grievances to bear upon others they dislike to new places and old is valid. As the words to which you and I refer appear to convey. Your and mine's interpretation varies as to future dealings of the speakers and of those spoken but who can judge whose slate needs cleaning and whose doesn't as only one side is speaking and deriding the other.

As to that "careful moderation" of which you speak, this brings the question of "What does that mean exactly?". That doesn't sound like a clean slate but a probation with history in mind and special treatment.

And what of keeping an eye out for usernames of those labelled and dehumanized in the registrations in these new forums? Creepy behavior to say the least.

However, to give you the benefit of the doubt, you may be right. Although, it seems unlikely the way crosses are borne. Time will tell.

Again, what's the point to all this? If people want to get baked and exhaust their thesauri, good on them. But why do it here?

1. Because with 4 days to lock, normal conventions are breaking down?
2. Because they can? (excepting interventions by those who may not be named)
3. Because, well it's like that point nearing the end of a game when you stop picking up every Elfroot?
4. Because (to keep it on topic) the cross-forum networking is largely done?

Though we should still leave the breadcrumbs until the end so that all may find a lifeboat

What kind of fool does that? You never know when they will come handy post credits!

[Fexelea]

A heads up the Fextralife forums are undergoing a redesign in about 24 hours. This will make the Bioware subforums more prominent and easy to bookmark and use.

After this is done, we'll work on adding a white theme option.

 

If anyone has time, feedback is appreciated! Follow this thread for details.

 

Oh, and there's still time to sign up to get your post history associated!

Brevity is the soul of wit.

Brevity is the soul of wit.

 

Words, words from microwaved cabbage whose fault was birth under stars where fortune misfired. Unfair and unlike the Wizard behind the curtain lying quietly disguised. Yet, alike in the mad barking followed by a merciless prodding bringing resolutions from that act and the thought that one or the other was someone worse or better.

There once was a snooty eruditician

Whose sole and primary mission

was to misuse words

into teeny tiny _____

and post music videos without permission.

There will be sorrow.

 

More poetry.

Perhaps, there is stoked an uncontrollable consuming lust in the furnace to draw upon a big whale.

Or, in the prose of Ishmael upon Moby Dick:

Spoiler

Is it that by its indefiniteness it shadows forth the heartless voids and immensities of the universe, and thus stabs us from behind with the thought of annihilation, when beholding the white depths of the milky way? Or is it, that as in essence whiteness is not so much a colour as the visible absence of colour, and at the same time the concrete of all colours; is it for these reasons that there is such a dumb blankness, full of meaning, in a wide landscape of snows--a colourless, all-colour of atheism from which we shrink? And when we consider that other theory of the natural philosophers, that all other earthly hues--every stately or lovely emblazoning--the sweet tinges of sunset skies and woods; yea, and the gilded velvets of butterflies, and the butterfly cheeks of young girls; all these are but subtile deceits, not actually inherent in substance, but only laid on from without; so that all deified Nature absolutely paints like the harlot, whose allurements cover nothing but the charnel-house within; and when we proceed further, and consider the mystical cosmetic which produces every one of her hues, the great principle of light, forever remains white or colourless in itself, and if operating without medium upon matter, would touch all objects, even tulips and roses, with its own blank tinge--pondering all this, the palsied universe lies before us a leper; and like wilful travellers in Lapland who refuse to wear coloured and colouring glasses upon their eyes, so the wretched infidel gazes himself blind at the monumental white shroud that wraps all the prospect around him. And of all these things the Albino whale was the symbol.

 

Wonder ye then at the fiery hunt?

[Innocent Bystander]

As silencing voices that only dead crayons fill voids within acceptable lines of one or another judges fare are those stones hurled toward BioWare enduring from the calloused hand of those housing behind transparent walls at the grindstone hypocritical pitchers drinking deep.
If in the acrimonious words exchanged in the backrooms there avails a justified end it is in the grist not unlike the millers tale.

Snubbing people at a new ventures christening. Folklore has something to say about this in relation to children. Best hope you don't offend a Fae.

It's not difficult to imagine why established communities are wary of taking in people from around these parts.

Dude, those are, like, big words. But you should put at least a semblance of sense (and be a little on topic) in between them. As it is now, it ammounts to just


On topic: I would like to thank Fexelea, Cyonan and other nice people like them, for what they're doing for the remnant of this community.

[Lady Artifice]

I think I'll make a poetry thread in the lobby on new BSN. I already have one on VSN, but I haven't shared anything in a while. 

[Fexelea]

A heads up for the interested - Fextralife mod applications are now open!. Click here.

[Lady Artifice]

So I just noticed that new BSN has a french section now, which is pretty cool.

For me it will be one of these three. What do you guys think?

 

Well, I've claimed an account on fextralife and I will look into the other options, too

 

ps: Nice that someone compiled this list, I was just looking for all those options again and resigned myself to looking through all those postings in "Concerning our Forums" till I found those I had already looked at and like, which are:

 

fextralife

biowaresocialnetwork.boards.net

BSN.boards.net

 

pps: I still hate that Bioware is forcing us to do this instead of hiring a community manager and giving him/her a great team to work with (not people like current moderators which don't even have a damned NICKNAME - no, they hide behind aliases (bioware-mod-something...instead of say my own nickname: DarthLaxian which I've kept for years now...even friends call me LAX already in some cases because that's the center part of my nickname and I've used that handle even longer!) with less personality than a nickname like KKK-Members behind their white masks!)

 

Then again: Their hiring decisions of late have been totally bonkers anyway, I mean that anti-white-racist guy with his white-tears mug and that GTA-Online-Virtual-Rape-Girl? Come on, those people need to see a shrink, they don't deserve well paying jobs in the gaming industry!

So the forums are getting closed down today? Well, was nice chatting with you guys. We may or may not meet each other again. Somewhere.

Somewhere between 22 and 46 hours hence, we don't know for sure.
