The need to improve our community's visibility is getting serious and we need your help please: I have no reason to believe that those at the top of BioWare want to kill off all 'long form' fanbases, but here are some inconvenient facts: 93% of traffic on BSN Prime comes from guests following google links - we don't have that. BSN Prime has backlinks 'disabled' for google purposes, so any 'here are our lifeboat' posts don't get traction. Whilst this forum is now more active on a daily basis (sometimes by x2) than BSN Prime among registered members, the 30,000 posts we've created don't actually create any google traffic. However successful our community is, unless those that are still unaware that BSN Prime is closing, and new fans post-N7 Day can find us, we will not grow. Here is the backlinks challenge, after three weeks, they are limited: checker.monitorbacklinks.com/seo-tools/free-backlink-checker/bsn.boards.netSuggestions for action (SEO aware please suggest more): One. Share to as many people on BSN Prime Signature suggestion: >1,000 fans of Mass Effect and Dragon Age landed at the new BSN forums. bsn.boards.net Will you make it? Two. Welcome those from other smaller fragmenting forums At one point there were 7 competing forums (many of us joined several), please welcome those people back here. It isn't a competition, we were all looking for the best option with best intentions, so everyone is welcome. This forum presents a clean slate for all. (we can always ban people again if they behave like an ass, but they have a choice not to be). Three. Twitter / Reddit / other sub-optimal locations No need to spam, but let people know we are here. Follow us on Twitter: twitter.com/BSNforums Share our forum: bsn.boards.net/ Let none of us underestimate the task of building and maintaining a fan community without the marketing pull of EA/BioWare. Please do what you can. Thank you for being a hero of the last days.

For my part, I've been tweeting out about it. I also, conveniently enough, logged into Facebook this morning to see it as a news article with a newsfeed full of ALL the gaming sites who made Facebook articles about it. Guess who's gonna go post about this site in the comments section of every single one?
May be good to do that with the gaming sites that are tweeting articles about it, too, if someone wants to get on that.

That feeling when you promote this board on a Facebook article, with your real name, and someone replies, "Good idea, DR!" and you have no clue who they are.
Not that I've ever really been concerned about hiding my identity (maybe not smart, but eh), but that just kinda made me chuckle and go, "Oh, boy..."

Made the suggested changes to my signature, and tweeted about it; I'm not sure my help will do much good, though, considering I'm avoiding both the Dragon Age and Mass Effect forums (trying to stay away from the marketing for Andromeda, and still haven't played Trespasser yet) - that, and I haven't actually been the site in almost a year. But I hope it helps, and I'll try and find some safer areas of the site to do posts.

I'm following on Twitter but I don't tweet. I'll make a signature on the BSN, once I figure how to do it. I tried to PM a couple of people on BSN who I don't think I've seen in here. I actually found out one of those people is a DA reddit moderator.

I have been posting links for here all over the MP section. and speaking of The Purge.... when should we start discussing what we are going to be doing during the final 24 hours of BSN prime? I would kindly ask that you do not. This forum isn't meant as a middle finger to BioWare or the BioWare forum nor is it meant as a protest to the decision for closure. It is a place for people to migrate to in order to continue the discussions of which we've all enjoyed being a part. It would be juvenile and a discredit to this forum to advocate any sort of sabotage or final rule-breaking protest over there. So, any sort of conversation of that nature should not happen here. In the open. On our forum. As we do not condone it.

Speaking about that...the other language BSN communities? I know they tend to not have a lot of people , and moderating might be an issue... But what to do? I send a PM to a Polish guy , and I might send a PM to the Polish BSN moderator.I'm not sure they are still very active , but I just asked what was going on with the Polish community and if they were planning anything.

Maybe when enough people will be registered and active and asking for it, with at least one volunteer to moderate, for each language ? Until then I understand that it could be hard to keep alive and moderate such a section...
