My first account was created with NWN as Lunatique. When that forum was transferred, I changed the name to Shazzie, a version of what was becoming my de facto online moniker, derived from my EQ1 character Shazanti. Same now as I was then, I'm overall more a lurker than a poster, aside from occasional random posting bursts.

Hmmm...that was...waaayyy back.
I first joined the oldest Bioware forums in...I actually don't recall, I think it was somewhen between 1999 and 2002, possibly when I planned and started making a BG2 mod (which never saw the light of day in the end). I wasn't very active back then, and consequently forgot my password as well as the exact spelling of my username eventually so I rejoined a few years later under the same name I have now here, must've been around 2008 when I posted my first rant against interspecies sex in ME. In November 2009 I joined the original BSN and have been quite active on it and all of its successors, including this very forum, to this day.
The current situation is somewhat nonsatisfactory because I am not interested in Anthem, so there hasn't been much for me to talk about in terms of Bioware games since MEA. So as of now, I'm mostly active in the OT section and in the Other Games forum.

Per the original question: On this board since opening in August 2016. Maybe 4-5 months on the old BSN, which is about the time I found the MET.

I highjacked my boyfriend's account on the NWN forums in 2002, I think, and it became mine. I think the name was DarkAngel-something. Signed up to BSN sometime in 2010 with the same name I have here.

Oh gosh.....I remember discussions about Imoen's backstory and the hate around Eldoth (who, in all right, deserves it). I didn't have my own computer with access to the internet reliably at that time (only available through college), so my appearance on those boards was hit-and-miss. By the time I had one that could connect routinely, BG II was on it's way out and we were all rampant with speculation about who'd be in and who wouldn't be. Good times those...when we were all still young and not as cynical as we are now But seriously, the last stuff that was posted on the old forums was the teaser regarding Throne of Bhaal. I will never forget the image they posted about "The Imprisoned One"....and like the first thirty posts asking, "Who's that?" My response was, "Oh shit..." repeated a few times. The boards died/got shut down around the time Black Isle disbanded and left Bioware by themselves. Then with the return of ME 2, I joined back up again and have been here since.

I think it was shortly before ME2. It was definitely before any of the DLC for Dragon Age: Origins was released but after the game was out.

Ooh, I don't even know. BSN1 was probably 2009ish, maybe before, but I was just there looking for stuff. I didn't really participate until 2012, when I discovered ME3MP, then I spent all my time there.
When it switched to BSN2 - I was there briefly, trying to get into DAI, and not really finding my way with it, then I just kind of... stopped going.
I missed the transition to BSNuf only finding my way here in late 2016.

This forum started in August 2016 so you couldn't have missed much. Three forums came out of the original but I think this is the only one that took off. One has the last BSN board archived and there other has no traffic. I had an account there, noted that it still exists, and see it has almost zero posts.

I don't think I'll be visiting there. Barely saw anything of BioWare related when I glanced at it. Also discovered it was run by someone people around here dislike due to her extreme views. In any case, it's not worth visiting, at least not by me.

I started posting on the "BSN" BSN in 2011, because I had to register (or.. something?) for DA2. But I've been lurking since 2008 when my Forgotten Realms obsession kicked off.

Just over 2 years for. I try my best to be civil and polite with everything, and I think it's worked well. Love it when I hear good reasons to play as a "non-mage" class or why a "less-kind" option can actually be better.
Or when I hear a different head-canon that completely changes my perception of a character, that's always a good mental exercise.

I don't recall exactly, but I can hinge it to games.
BG - No. BG2 - No. KOTOR - Maybe I checked into it, but not posting. JE - Maybe I checked into it, but not posting. ME - I recall reading, but not posting. DAO - I recall reading, but not posting. ME2 - I posted! I was really anticipating this one. DA2 - I posted, but it was more about ME as I didn't really know DA much yet. ME3 - A semi-frequent poster, especially due to the ending.... DAI - Kept up occasionally.
So I guess I started in the late 00s. KOTOR made me a Bioware gamer, ME made me a Bioware fan, and ME2 made me an avid fan posting on forums. I've since declined in interest since ME3, but I guess not enough to ignore the studio(s).

Definitely the original BSN (back in 2008-ish). Possibly the one before but I don’t think so. I think it’s about 10+ years now. But I’ve been playing the games since BG1 back in 2001.

I have been lurking and occasionally posting on BioWare related boards since January of 2012. It seems like a lot longer though. Damn, it can be stressful at times.
It is pretty clear that this fanbase is quite a wild pack. I also feel like at times that BioWare fans are equal part BioWare haters too. It's quite an interesting social experiment to watch unfold at times. Note: I don't exclude myself from that evaluation-I swear BioWare has made me hella bipolar. They will give me everything I want from a game one moment, then pull the rug out from under me the next. It's a roller coaster.

I think 2010? I certainly have the fondest memories of the time between ME2 and 3 where I spent sooo much time geeking out on the lore and possible endgame scenarios. That was my best time with BSN. I was still in college. There were a bunch of people I wrote endless PMs to.
I left BSN for a while due to all the ME3 ending hate that made it impossible to have a decent conversation. The negativity was unbearable. Came back for DAI. Had a great time in the Solas thread discussing lore.
Sort of took time off again since there was little to discuss. Started contributing more before MEA was released.
Now I mostly post when I'm bored at work lol. Terribly boring on the Bioware front for somebody not really interested in Anthem...

My first account was created in early 2010 and was permabanned that year. I had finished the university and I needed a place to talk to people. So made another! I used to seldom lurk on Lucasarts, Bioware and Gamespot in 2001-9 period. Muh first biogame was NWN 1 vanilla. Onlywith the magic of DA:O and ME1 and 2 I signed up to BSN. I had over 1000 polls Then my first full bio screenie-taken in 2012

Since 2009, a few months before Dragon Age: Origins came out. I'd been playing BioWare games since Baldur's Gate, but I didn't find the forums until I saw some DAO previews and got excited about Thedas.

I signed up in 2010 but I lurked a year earlier and even after I signed up, I still mostly lurked. I forgot my password and made another account a year later.
Those constant DA2 and witcher 2 fan war comparisons were funny though.

I believe i started my account on the BSN in 2010 after i bought DAO, started lurking sometime around April/May, 2012, after i ended my first playthrough of ME3 (while looking for news on DLCs), but only started posting when The Bioware Forum was created in 2013. I picked up the train for this Forum in August 1st, 2016.
