The mods. they were the worst part of that place........ also, the inability to post stuff like ^^^^^^ or not being able to say a cuss word above Damn or else I would have to look over my shoulder and just wait to get the warning point for it.

People accusing you of reviving dead threads because you just got into the games and have no where to discuss them because you can't make a new thread if an old one of the same kind exists, yet at the same time you can't revive a dead one apparently.

I will not miss botmods.
I will not miss the absence of mods.
I will not miss the "Cassandra looks like a man" threads.
I will not miss the "there are no straight male options" threads.

Incompetent moderators that only go between the two extremes of doing absolutely nothing one moment and overzealously handing out warning points and bans for ridiculous reasons to the wrong people the next. Certain posters that I thankfully doubt will come over here.

Having left the BSN a year ago once they axed Off-Topic, I wasn't around to see a lot of the mod shenanigans. I also never ventured up into the game forums much after ME3, and I imagine I missed out on some crazy shit there.
There's not a lot I won't miss. Even those spambots, with their fervent requests that I watch ****@@@@free RUGBY ONLINE@@@@****.
Okay, maybe those. Just a bit.
But I've been without the BSN for a year, so I think I'll be okay.

Dickhead moderators. Closing topics as opposed to deleting bad posts. Censoring myself.
Yeah, those three. I like being able to drop an f-bomb to emphasize my posts and holding back just eliminates some of that. I also like having an off topic section to discuss all things outside of BioWare's creations.

I saw a thread yesterday that was older, and someone posted in it. Boom, it got locked for being necro'd. What the hell is someone supposed to do if they're genuinely interested in that topic or have a question? Would you rather have a repeat, a carbon copy new thread made when a perfectly good one already exists? So silly.

- Censoring myself and looking over my shoulder. It's been liberating posting here tbh. - The lack of an off-topic section. There's nothing wrong in silly threads, some of them are great actually and they're much needed. Without them? Well we've all seen what happens there. - Ppl being banned unjustly and having little to no recourse. And other things I won't think of until 3 minutes after I click the post button.

I know! I bought DAO a year ago and I felt as if I was being punished for not being a member of the forum when it first came out. That seems to be a prevalent attitude a lot of places online. People always at least poke fun at people for posting on old threads. Who, exactly, is hurt by reviving an old thread? It made my first visit feel very unwelcome. I found the Blanketfort after that and was lucky to be able to share my thoughts on anything I wanted or I probably would have left long ago. I basically remained a lurker everywhere else because of how distasteful that experience was for me.

I got a warning point once for multi quoting Deerber and Alfonse Dude in the same post, the warning said something like " meaningless quoting" lol . So damn silly.
So yeah, stuff like that. Mods and ESPECIALLY those people who kept reporting for the silly stuff. Why wouldn't they get a life?

I do not really miss anything about the old BioWare forums. Well... There were a few poeple on there who I thought were okay, but beyond that, like I stated prior, I do not miss anything about the old forums.

Something something fruit of the clue tree dude. Actually wait, I will miss that, the ability to annoy someone so much with virtually no effort on my part. The lol biotbots then, oh and some irritating posters who I'm kinda sure will miss the boat, but if they do show I always have my block option.

I know Gaider was gone, but still. Gaider. He was such a tool in the forums. Don't know Gaider, but in the same vein, Priestly. Fuck that guy. He didn't want to do his job, he should've been gone a lot sooner than he was. I think if Bioware actually pays you to mod, you automatically become a douche. Exhibit A: Priestly and the botmods. Exhibit B: most of the volunteer mods were alright, though admittedly I may have come in at then end of their term. Even the almighty Roo seemed a little more chill in his Ninja Stan guise.

I'd like to think that anyone that was still logged in right when it closed are now trapped inside without food or water and can't get out. It's only a matter of time they either starve or BSN sinks into the never ending abyss of the internet.

I won't miss anything, really. Goodbye and good riddance.
No, wait. I will miss one thing: groups. That was a nice/useful feature.
But not even that, actually. I had this group with a lot of content I had stored, only to find one day that it completely vanished. No warning, no explanation given. That's why I say goodbye and good riddance to BSN. Well, that, and many, many other reasons.
