There's now an 'official' goodbye thread (by popular demand I guess)

I'm sorry. *hug* I'm at the point now where I wish it was over. Just kill it already. Stop letting it go on. I've gone from being upset and trying to make the most of what was left, to being disgusted and just wanting it to close already. They didn't just close the forums, they shut the door in our faces whilst pouring hot oil on us from above just for good measure. And catapulting a cow over the wall. And calling our mother a hamster. Fuck 'em. They clearly can't even be bothered to give 2 shits about any of us. And I've only been there for a year, it's so much worse for those of you who've been around for much longer. Thanks *hug* All of that is true. The treatment of fans has been terrible, so put it mildly. As for your wish, well... not long now. One more day after this. Apparently not only am I toxic, but so is everyone I have come to know and like through their forums. Good to know... We can be toxic together. Alright everyone, toxic group hug How good of them. Should've done it a week ago... I should mention that it only exists because someone on the BSN Closure thread PMed Conal and asked for there to be one. They didn't think on their own that maybe it was a good idea on July 29th, and they still thought locking all the individual threads was a good idea. We, the community, had to make it happen. But yes, it's a bit late now, with so many people gone, some of whom left because of their goodbye threads being closed I'm considering replying to the thread saying "Better late than never, right?" but I'm not sure if that would be a good idea

I ain't re-posting my shit in that goodbye thread. They wanna see what I said, they can go through the nearly 300 pages of "Concerning Our Forums" and re-live what they have wrought upon us. And when I'm this bitter, you know you've done goofed.

How good of them. Should've done it a week ago... Yeah, as BansheeOwnage said, I had to PM Conal and ask if we could have a thread that wouldn't get nuked by BioMod02. What a terminator that one is (which I actually said to him). My actual hope was for a sort of sad party thread that would be visible to everyone that logged on tomorrow. That way, anyone who wished could drop in and wait out the end together, if they wished. What we got was a "Farewell" thread that was at least safe from the terminators. I appreciate that he responded quickly, at least. :/ It's been really crappy watching people wander in, realize what's happening, try to gather their thoughts and say farewell, only to get crushed by Mod02. I noticed a couple Mods who weren't touching those threads. That mod, though, has a passion for kicking the helpless, or some type of social disorder. I asked Conal if he thought a bit more empathy might be in order, and if they might call off the moderation-terminators for the last day. I suspect Model-02 will be on patrol, fully armed, empathy heuristics disabled.

Now that it's about 23 hours away, I'm largely resigned to the closure. It still stings, but it's just about done. At least the modbots have cooled their jets for now and there is an official goodbye thread.
However, another aspect of this whole thing made it smart just a little bit more. Since I've never played the ME series on the PS3 from the PSN, I've run into a couple of bugs. One of them was involving decrypting (ME1,) since it makes the buttons to hit run way too quick. When I googled for a fix, it took me (naturally) to the BWF. I got my answer and went on with my game. Thanks to the forums.
I'm very happy that I know the posters here and that I can get answers for things like that. Otherwise, it would be a royal pain in the ass to find help. Thanks in advance for any possible advice I might ask for. This ME run is going to be a little melancholy.

1,200 people have already made it. With only hours until The BioWare Forum (BSN Prime) locks, let's see how many more of our friends we can save. There is no need to 'send the old forum down in flames', but to savor the past and get as many fans of Mass Effect and Dragon Age onto our lifeboat as we can. Please spread the word.

Yeah, I'm..pretty pissed about how this portion of their fanbase has been treated. I'm probably a hypocrite because I like to think it's not from the "devs", but rather EA. It's pretty antagonistic; and they're like that. So, whereas I like the BW folks, the real BW folks, when I think of EA...I try not to hex them, but you know...when a woman's fed up...

You have more restraint than I do. The only thing stopping me from addressing a thread to the mods containing nothing but tubgirl and goatse (don't google them if you've been spared) is I don't particularly want them in my browser history at work. Work, which I leave in half an hour... hmmmm.

There's now an 'official' goodbye thread (by popular demand I guess) Yeah, I left my little bit in there. I ain't even mad. Never was, actually, just disappointed. I've expressed my disappointment, several times, over the past weeks but, screw it, it is what it is. We have this now and it's a damn fine place to be.

U even made me toxic, how dare you! In all seriousness, I think more people complain about being called toxic than anyone ever actually accused them of being so, I only recall Gaider ever using that word. Also where is the pron spam, I wanna see how long it manages to stay up.

I think I may have finally come to peace with BSN Prime closing.
I've also been watching this video on repeat, which helps. I don't recommend watching at work, the language is very loud and foul.
