Not quite sure why needed his permission to use the letters BSN. It's not copyrighted/trademarked like Bioware is. True. But the BioWare part of the forum really has to go before long. For legal reasons, obviously, but also because I think we as a community should transcend the connection to BioWare and really come to own our own identity. All of us came together because of BioWare obviously (for whatever reason we thought of their games), but we don't need to stay beholden to just that. I've created relationships with a few people on here that have carried on to other areas, such as Facebook, Xbox Live, Steam, etc. I know in at least one case of a couple that have married due to meeting on the forums and growing that relationship beyond the games. I think we've reached that point (especially in the Off-Topic Lobby) where we have established friendships and a community that goes beyond the games that BioWare made. Some of us, myself included, largely don't even play the games anymore. I for one have little love anymore for them. We're the new BSN, the cool cousin of the old BSN who remembers the day when polls were cool. There might be a time when the site goes about a name change but BioWare hasn't given reason for complete abandonment, at least in my mind. And i think at the moment, to distinguish between all the other forum outlets, keeping the name helps identify what the core DNA of the forum is.

How about Butter Sweet Nougat?
Or Bitter Sassy Naysayers?
Bisexual Straight Noobians?

Ballistic Serial Ninjas.
The BUFF acronym works pretty well, thinking about it... Especially if you have to include Unofficial.
