Lol, what "key drop" incident... My guess is that "key drop" is referring to the key dropping bug in DAMP in December 2014. To advance to the next map of DAMP, the last monster or so used to drop a key that opened the locked door to the next level. Due to a bug, that did not always happen, so the team of players were stuck in a level without monsters and without a key, so they couldn't advance to the next map. The only workaround was to kick the host, force a host migration and replay the current map, hoping the bug would not occur again. When people clamored for a quick fix, they were told that pretty much the entire DAI team was off on holidays already and it wouldn't be fixed until next year. I suppose that didn't end well. I don't know any more details though, because that was about the time I quit playing DAMP.

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. That's actually pretty likely. Most trolls probably wouldn't think of making up that rather realistic signature that mentions NDAs and such...

Someone is just having fun with troll account is still my take. Or Mod02 is really Mod02, but it's still troll account for fun

That's very sweet. 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. That's actually pretty likely. Most trolls probably wouldn't think of making up that rather realistic signature that mentions NDAs and such... But it wouldn't be some random troll, it would be a member from here. So I could see them doing a better imitation job than normal.

Oh, yes, but how do I know that that's truly 02? I won't press the issue. Regardless, all the bots will hold a special place in my heart, no matter their number. That's very sweet. 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 it was actually YOU who I was pestering and serenading, and spamming your wall with pics and gifs back on old BSN. Sneaky sneaky!!! You are such a gem. Thank you for answering, my dear. You have the patience of a saint. I meant it when I said I loved the numbered mods.

Someone on the old BSN forums had mentioned that the place ran with a Reddit or Tumblr type mentality. I'll admit I've lurked and participated on a few Reddit subs (JJBA & RPDR) and it's usually ok if you can handle constant joke/meme threads but the absoulte worst part is the rabid hivemind/pack mentality that EVERYONE on /r/ seems to share, like if anyone has a differing opinion "F*** you, MY feelings first me me me!" (an exaggeration but you get the point) and I saw like a lot, a lot a lot of that kind of behavior in the BSN and it seems like the devs were encouraging these kinds of blind-worship instead actual constructive criticism. Now that they've shutdown the forums officially, and with all of the Andromeda BS I am more convinced than ever that BW gives no shits about the opinions of the fanbase just the contents of their wallets. So yea when I said it was full of preachy, bleeding hearts types --- where's the lie though? I'm not a huge fan of Reddit's upvote/downvote system either, and I agree that Bioware seems more interested in shallow praise than meaningful criticism, both positive and negative. That said, I still don't see the whole "preachy, bleeding heart" infestation you do. BSN wasn't a hivemind, and it certainly wasn't a padded echo-chamber. There were plenty of threads and posters that were critical of Bioware, and also plenty of people more forgiving of them as well as threads praising things. To me, if anything, it seemed like there was more criticism than praise oftentimes, but negativity does tend to stand out more.

I'm trying Reddit but I find it so 'Finding Dory', you're having a conversation and then the attention shifts and the conversation is dead, or ignored. I'm not saying we don't have our diversions here, but eventually, we drift back to topic

The downvote system can be useful but it can also be abused. I think for niche subreddits a hive mind can be good, but all the ones I have been on do respect differences in opinion Those are the ones I follow adventuretime

My problem with Reddit is that I find it hard to identify anyone. I couldn't name one username of someone I've chatted with, but on here the avatars do all the hard work for me. I know if I've been seeing a giant cupcake or a guy doing suspicious things to a horse over and over again and get to know them. Just doesn't happen on Reddit at all.

I can't prove my identity in any event so I won't worry about that. I have seen enough "alt" people in my work to last a lifetime and I can even see some accounts here whose fingerprints I associate with others I have known before. Perhaps I should not have used the BioWareMod02 username here as well, but with recent events in mind, I hope you will understand my brief moment of (to quote your username) rapscallioness too. This group has some pleasant people, sometimes discussing interesting ideas, it was too tempting not to take a look. I won't post very often, I have already raised more fuss than I was expecting.

Nothing wrong with posting in the ME and DA sections. If you play the games, you can post your playthrough in the What I did today in ME/DA threads. Who knows. You might see something that someone posted in their playthrough that you might want to try in a later playthrough
