This is the post I made that had the link to Sam's group Follows link. Follows second link. Reads a bunch of new stuff I'd never known regarding Traynor co tent. You, sir, are the living repository for Mass Effect trilogy content. I'm pretty sure no one has played more variations on the story than you have. I'm always appreciative of your sharing this stuff. Thank you.

Every variation... unless it involves Garrus. Haha. You get a double haha.

Just clicked on the groups tab on BSN. 'Groups are now closed. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.' Well what an understated, shitty, passive aggressive way to shut us out of the most social aspect of the site. Screw you BioWare. PLEASE STOP GIVING ME REASONS TO HATE YOU. "Apologize for any inconvenience"? Yeah right, you did it on purpose, and for no reason. They've been gradually removing every social aspect of the forums for years. Ironically enough, ever since they named it the "Bioware Social Network"! They removed our awesome signature-banners, they removed off-topic, they even changed their name again so it wouldn't have the word "social" in it, so they were obviously aware of what they were doing. Oh, and they removed polls. A very stupid thing to remove, but I actually have a theory about that, and it makes a lot of sense if I do say so myself. It's simple: They didn't want to have another situation where 90% of forumites hated the ME3 ending Definitely an overreaction for a single inconvenient poll, but it's classic Bioware to overcompensate when "fixing" things. And apparently, they're still disabling social content even after locking the forum! I think there were some more things that I'm currently forgetting. So I will second the "Screw you, Bioware." I don't want them to be dumb, but they just can't seem to help it sometimes

Y'know I keep wondering (and bear in mind it'd be some exec thinking this, so a little knowledge really, really could be a dangerous thing) if they think that editing and locking out a load of stuff would make it look.. shinier, somehow, in any wayback archive. I know it's a dumb idea and makes no sense whatsoever, but execs. They're great at stupid. Hell, execs got Firefly cancelled...

Okay, I have no idea if this will work for everyone, but it's worth a shot. You can still get access to, at least some, PMs via social.bioware.com/You might have to log-in first, then it'll bounce you back to that main page, but then just clicking on your username'll take you to your own page and then from there, messages. Good luck!

That only gives you the messages on Social Bioware. Not the forums
Following a link to the Messaging gave me "You are not allowed to use the private messaging system."
Weirdly they're still posting in the forum under the Hk47 account

At a glance at times it could certainly come across that way. Inclusion and fan threads were very popular, not to mention the ever-present romance threads. I don't think it's a fair assessment though. Just like most of the community isn't a bunch of shitposting toxic trolls either. You've got your vocal minority regardless of what side of that spectrum you're on.
Most of the people I've talked to were pretty much like in real life. A few extremists, but most have their own beliefs while maintaining an open mind. Or were at least willing to be civil about expressing their point of view and reading the opinions of others.

It's the hard core liberals that the poster felt had taken over the forums. The eternal babysitters of the world, if you will. It's the opposite end of the whole "BSN posters are toxic trolls" mentality that much of the net seems to have. I don't agree, but I can see how someone might come to that impression.

Oh, BioWareMod02, where are you, my dear? I would love to have a word with you. I....found out some things, and now my world is turned upside down. Apparently YOU used to be Mod03... and the mod calling himself Mod03 was someone else entirely. I feel.... I don't know how I should feel. It's like romancing Solas or Blackwall and being hit by the reveal... My heart! I am so confused right now!!

Obscuring identities with numbering was intended to protect individuals. Only 03 and I worked through Inquisition. 03 used to be 04, I used to be 03. Both 01 and the original 02 left at the time of the "key drop" abuse incident, just before the holidays that year, which upset the whole team.

So you're telling us that you are indeed the real (former) mod of the BioWare Forums and not just someone who made a funny troll account? That might not be the best idea because some of us still have some unresolved issues with you and your fellow mods.
