The moderators have been discussing the unofficial forum being 6 months old...( Cyonan let the first members in on August 1st after the BSN Forum closure announcement on July 29th.) We would be interested to know how you have been finding it and how we could improve it. Here's a quick 9 question survey, with all the results (except the written comments) displayed for you to see at the end. EDIT: All done, thank you. The surge of responses has filled up our 'free quota' so I'll pop the top-level results into the OP. Thanks for the specific pieces of feedback, both positive and negative. Top level summary: - Most active members migrated from BSN Prime.
- Forum's doing well.
- Mass Effect clearly the significant focus at the moment.
- Most focus on the single player game (with 1/3 dipping into multiplayer).
- Most of those filling in the survey also post (figures).
- Moderation needs to be a nudge tougher.
- Moderation bias >90% balanced vs. positive & negative views.

This was a good idea, just wanted to say that Oh and I love this place, I think the mods are all doing a great job, I really mean that. I've been to other forums these last two years and this is the only forum who has fair and decent mods

I agree with OWA. Mods have done a great job keeping this place fun place to be without being too strict and giving space to all kinds of conversations while keeping them in control. Thank you!

I was actually wondering if there were more community-driven ways for people to interact aside from forum threads? Like blogs, clubs/groups, and comment walls? I did include this in my survey, but I'm realizing that I'm still relatively new to the forum, and I may just be missing basic features because I'm not super familiar with the new site.

Only 6 months? Feels so much longer. FWIW even tho there are things I miss about the old forum I find myself quite comfortable here. EDIT - All done. Interesting to see the stats afterwards.

I knew you guys were doing an awesome job without the survey results. Nice to have it confirmed, though.
There is one stat that I'm puzzled... the one asking (Question # 3) "what are you mainly here to read/discuss?". The poll result shows 88% ME and 47% DA and 26% both. That doesn't look right (ie: sum of percentages = 161
The followup question #4 is right as the percentages are distributed correctly (sum of percentages = 100)
Just an observation.

I'm impressed with the forum. You guys are doing a great job allowing open discussion. I haven't really seen much that I would consider offensive, so I don't know if it's mods getting a jump on things or if the members are just that mature. Still, great jobs, mods and owners. And thank you.

Q3 doesn't have a 'both' Sartoz. Mass Effect Dragon Age Lobby / Other topics To allow people to click 2/3 they were mainly here for, more than one choice could have been clicked.

The surge of responses has filled up our 'free quota' so I'll pop the top-level results into the OP. Thanks for the specific pieces of feedback, both positive and negative. Top level summary: - Most active members migrated from BSN Prime.
- Forum's doing well.
- Mass Effect clearly the significant focus at the moment.
- Most focus on the single player game (with 1/3 dipping into multiplayer).
- Most of those filling in the survey also post (figures).
- Moderation needs to be a nudge tougher.
- Moderation bias >90% balanced vs. positive & negative views.

I understand. But the poll mechanism should have allowed for both by segregating the the selections into column percentages of: 1- ME only 2- DA only 3-Both ME and DA only 4-Lobby/ Other only 5- All the above.
Add the percentages up and it will equal 100. Multiple interests are clearly allowed. Anyway, it still interesting to see. ... and I like the idea of it. Plus that stats showed me that I was way off with Google. I was under the impression that Google lead more people into this fine BSN. Your idea of using "Mass Effect Andromeda" in the thread title is still valid, imo.

Plus that stats showed me that I was way off with Google. I was under the impression that Google lead more people into this fine BSN. Your idea of using "Mass Effect Andromeda" in the thread title is still valid, imo. That's fair, maybe next time. As you know, any survey is best taken with a pinch of salt. I would have expected to see a higher participation from Google joiners, but I think it makes sense: The most likely to respond were from the original group of 'regulars' who migrated from BSN Prime. Yet forum growth has been steady and is even accelerating. The BSN Prime migrants can be accounted for through August, September and October, but after that we had to be findable, so a high Google ranking and increasing Twitter/YouTube awareness has been essential, even if those folk didn't have a chance to click into our brief 'snapshot' survey. I still find it amusing that the 3 months closed BSN Prime still clings to #1 for 'BioWare Forum', though its URL must help that. The two answers I was personally most interested in were the two on moderation toughness and moderation bias. It's clear to me that the initial surge in membership in August was built on the huge community credibility of Cyonan and DragonRacer , with the rest of the mods running alongside. A community isn't built on a particular website or platform: Anyone can build a free forum for tumbleweeds to enjoy. Keeping the community and even growing it, must depend on keeping the balance right between the freedom to post and the control of pointless crap; between the fanboys and the critics. We ignore the importance of maintaining that balance at our peril. I can see two learns from the data: 1. moderation toughness can be a 'nudge' tougher, but only a little. 2. we are leaning very slightly towards the 'fanboys' over the 'sceptics', so just need to keep that steady.

"Fair moderation" suuuure, you mods are a bunch of politically correct cucks Hey, that's unfair, now just because some mods are unilateraly editing posts and locking threads or they shouldn't be allowed anywhere near some threads in a mod capacity because they're just crap at moderating that kind of discussion doesn't mean they have an axe to grind, it just means we have to be more understanding of their "feelings" Now stop being such an over priviliged shit lord by violating my feelings.
