I was sad and worried at first but this place is coming out so nicely that I don't go to BSN Prime anymore. The only thing we are missing is Sylvius the Mad and a thread about silent protagonist vs voiced, then this place will be complete * ahem * Sylvius was seen entering the building... Let's get that silent vs voiced thread started... Yay!! Thanks for the heads up! *goes to stalk Sylvius*

Reading about you guys getting so many warnings...you've convinced me. They're expecting a shit show and are trying to weed out all the 'trouble makers' beforehand. Because I'm such a troublemaker And Natashina, and other posters who've never tried to stir up trouble and are always civil. That said, I think you're probably right. Trying my level best to be fair (and having a tiny insight into moderation these last 3 weeks). What I suspect has happened is that the decision to close the forums has naturally led to an anticipation that some will try to 'burn it down' before the end. That was no surprise and was one of my first expectations after the announcement, that the ending could be rough. I don't expect that there has been any edict to be tough on people, but I could quite expect that the moderation company were alerted to the closure (naturally) and that moderators are moderating hard to 'nip things in the bud' in the expectation of the trouble that might be brewing. In short, the 'guards' are on high alert, and low-level cheek that might normally get waved through is being jumped on, hard. So I kind of understand what's happening and why. I'm not convinced that there was no edict, nor am I convinced that the mods think they're doing anything remotely constructive. Going through old, dead threads looking for excuses to give people warning points, going into invite-only groups to moderate, removing any post that so much as mentions "moderation" or any of its derivatives and giving bans for it, banning people for "spamming" when they didn't even double-post, giving warnings for inappropriate language for quoting someone, giving warnings for asking people to stay on topic, giving warnings and banning people for asking mods to clarify site-rules, closing goodbye threads, and ignoring any PMs does not qualify as "understandable" to me and it doesn't remotely excuse their incompetence No offense to you or anything. I'm just ranting

I just posted this on BSN Prime and Mod02 removed it and gave me a Warning Point literally within 3 minutes. I think that's a personal record now, even beating out the Andromeda Incest Love Interest thread, which got deleted after 10 minutes. She called it "spam", but it even included text stating that it tastes great with garlic bread, and you can make that yourself with a bread maker that you can get at Wal Mart for like 50 bucks.

Honestly I feel good here. I'm very proud that the community kept together on this new forum. It's even better than BSN prime IMO. So I will certainly watch the closing but I honestly don't care anylonger. And what the mods did those last weeks, banning people, warning them for nothing etc... just made the BSN prime looks totally ridiculous. They shot themselves in the foot. Not only that, but they amputated the entire leg and it's going to backfire on them immensely.

I've already mentioned it here, but I'd love to be there for the final hours. Preferably together with those other people who care. Not for trolling or spamming or something, just to say the very last goodbyes bfore the RO. It's like holding a hand of a dying man, if you know what I mean. I can't say I hate them, but I feel cheated. I know there were people who cared (like Allan, who helped even when he did not even have to be there), and as Evil as Chris had been, I missed him. I didn't get a goodbye, but I did get a thank you from a fellow poster I saw this, and liked it both here and there. Han is one of the best. I hope he makes his way over to this community. I know they didn't want the forums swamped with "goodbye" threads, but it was annoying how they'd ruthlessly close or delete 90% of them pretty rapidly. I ended up sending PMs to a handful of people, thanking them for making the forums a fun, engaging and worthwhile place. Most of those people are here, now. Still, there are a ton of you guys, themikefest included, whom I'd have included, given a longer while to think about things. It's crappy that the ModSquad has made it so challenging to tip the hat to those we appreciate, and great that this forum means we didn't have to part ways forever. Ultimately, we can regrow the community if we keep building awareness. The core of the community has survived intact, here on the BSN.

Oh my gosh, I haven't been over to BSN Prime in some time. I went over there to peek..ack, goodbye posts..I mean really touching stuff. Sof aJockey posts that ME3 Citadel dlc end with "..the best." And I get all worked up and dare I say a little teary eyed all over again. I thought I was done with feeling like that. edit: but then I read the Introduce Yourself thread..

Because I'm such a troublemaker And Natashina, and other posters who've never tried to stir up trouble and are always civil. That said, I think you're probably right. I dunno.... Spamming threads with your erotically charged avatar of Cullen, having a username with 'Banshee' in it (clearly signs of the occult there), then the passive aggressive insinuation of 'ownage'. You're disgraceful and you know it. Seriously though, that's why I put troublemakers in quotes. I know you guys weren't, but they're being super sensitive. And sometimes downright crazy and nonsensical. I'm waiting to see how many actual trolls are quietly lying in wait, ready to pounce on the last day. Blast! You've figured out my true colours before I could fully enact my evil master plan of enslaving the BSN in the name of The Cult of Banshee and using my ownership to force its inhabitants to worship erotically-charged avatars of Cullen! Curse you! Curse you all to the Beyond! Seriously though, I know, I just felt like ranting about it anyway. I didn't actually think you thought that I or others were troublemakers And they definitely are being super sensitive, crazy, and nonsensical. You forgot option 4. Pick off their eyelashes when they're asleep and put them in a jar. Clearly, Shepard realized this is what's been happening to him. I mean, can you see any eyelashes on his face? That's what I thought. They've been plucked 'Goodbye' threads are being locked for being 'off-topic'. 84 hours to probable lock... That's just... sad. I wonder how long my goodbye thread will last
