I linked this forum over at the Paint Adventures thread with an explanation of what it is. At least half of them are BioWare fans, and probably have frequented BSN Prime at some point.
Going to change my signature on the official forums, though!

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... It think it will require a [insert language] fluent person/people to start that work, but the concept sounds good. Could start simply and build from there. Please PM Cyonan or one of the moderators when any specific language community feels ready.

I have spread the word in the french section of the BSN prime, I hope my comrades will follow ! (Maybe we will have a french section here one day ?) 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. That sounds like a great idea. Especially if you can touch base with the language specific mods, if they're still active.

This may seem like an antiquated question, but how the hell do banners work on the BioWare forums? I never bothered to use one.
I know it's not as simple as copy, paste and save.

Here's some brutal truth: However much fun we are having chatting between a few hundred people, this forum's reach pales into insignificance compared to the BioWare official forum with strong google ranking and a natural draw to new players. By closing, BSM Prime is shedding thousands of community members and visitors and in lost potential joiners before Mass Effect Andromeda launches, many thousands more. Before BSN Prime closes, in order to preserve our community for the future, we need to get the attention of the BioWare community now. We have only a few days (to August 26th) to pump up our web presence before BSN Prime locks. 3 weeks to reach a critical mass so that future fans can find us. we must please: One. Share to as many people on BSN PrimeSignature suggestion: "Fans of Mass Effect and Dragon Age are launching to the new BSN forum. bsn.boards.net Will you make it?" Two. Welcome those from other smaller fragmenting forumsAt one point there were 7 competing forums (many of us joined several), please welcome those people back here. It wasn'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 locationsNo need to spam, but let people know we are here. Follow us on Twitter: twitter.com/BSNforumShare 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. Thank you for being a hero of the last days. I find this Poetic. Around 2013 the "Indoctrination Theory" was banned from all forms of talk on story, gen, etc. Had to be removed and instead head to the groups. Everyone that disliked it, trolls, or anything sought out anyone who talked about it and reported it. People being banned left and right, complete chaos within those few days. No Warning was given, nothing was ever planned, and yet now after 3 years the BSN is finally going down. Tis a odd feeling of how all those that did act ugly towards that way towards the ITers, and even people that started to see how Bioware was taking things quite too far, are now the ones complaining, the ones getting banned, the ones that are feeling enraged, etc. However at least Bioware has given a warning and a grace period up until the 25th to be shut down. At least now people can understand how those that were on the early January of 2013 feel about how everything changing and basically being removed. I do feel bad for those that just got alone with everyone on the BSN, and didn't partake in arguments, debates, and flame-wars. Enjoy this new place.

Like I said earlier, I feel that within the final 48 hours of BSN Prime....we should just spam the link / information to reach us here..in every thread / each forum. I know this sounds like some type of anarchy plan...but..in the past few days..I have witnessed first hand...threads being closed and shut down where Cyonan nearly gave mention of this site. Not to mention the thread Cyonan began in multiplayer that was merely giving suggestions as to come to this site, that was closed and locked almost immediately. I am not advocating some type of crazy retaliation towards BSN for acting as it did. I am merely suggesting, that within the final 48 hours of BSN Prime... we simply spam the location to here for everyone to see, so they may be able to make their own decision, as to what to do after the final day of BSN Prime. I do not advocate any type of provcation, I am merely trying to come across to the people that will feel left behind, that there is another alternative for all of them to re-unite with their friends, in a forum that is built for them, by the people who are just like them. Thank you for your time in this matter.

Thank you for your time in this matter. What do you think we ITers did. We tried our best to spread the word about the site we had set up (luckily we had already created one just a day prior to the lock down/mass termination). Loads of us made threads spreading the word only we DIDN'T have time too. It all happened within a flash. Many people had to join the group section to just get to the main site. Twas madness. You all have time to spread the word, and do something. We didn't. We were picked on, getting reported, etc. All being labeled and slandered harshly. Right now There are two groups. Those that want to give BIoware a chance and those that do not want to. BSn is divided in this matter and up to you all to get as many here.

Well, I did spread the word to our fellow germans, but I don´t have much hope for many of them showing up, seeing as how the german section seems vastly deserted. But hey, maybe I get surprised.

I was merely trying to advocate for a focused spam campaign on the final days...and to hear what you and others went thru......I, honestly, don't have words because I wasnt there and I didnt see what you did. I hope as many people can make it over here as possible before the final termination. I do thank you, for everything you did ....I am not a knowledgeable computer literate person...but I am very thankful for people like yourself, who know exactly how to do everything that you do and I know, there are an abundance of people that have come to this site because of you. Thank you.

Appreciate the sentiments guys.
I'm sure none of the moderators advocate a spamming campaign on BSN prime as we want to stay good neighbors with BioWare.
But we all have signature bars, and if the matter comes up naturally in conversation, that's fine isn't it?

But we all have signature bars, and if the matter comes up naturally in conversation, that's fine isn't it? If things are coming to an end then people should know. signs bars are a start yet further action is needed. Right now you all have the strength to do so before the final days come. Once the final days hit getting the word out will be much harder for that is when the will start shutting everything down. If you make threads quick, new groups, and create banners then you may gather more. There is no guaranty though that many will come, or those that purely troll will not come as well. Rally all those you can, and hope everyone makes it.

I don't have the reach I used to on twitter with other accounts. But I can suggest you make yourselves very visible there.
1. TheMikefest has restarted What did you do today in MET.
People regularly post about playthroughs look for them and alert them to the thread.
Do the same for other threads to like minded people, let them know the discussions are happening.
2. Butt in to @bioware when they tweet get some attention draw them out into commenting.
You have Jos and Barrett, use them.
Brag about them.
3. Lead the conversation on facebook and twitter and everywhere else. Let people know what we're talking about opposed to everywhere else.
Show off the amount of knowledge stored here with knowledgable fans (again I'll use TheMikeFest as an example.)
If they have a question they need answering they should say: Nobody knows more about it than those guys.
May the Biotic God go with you.
So he should go.

There is no way in hell he's going to officially endorse any particular site or forum. Not gonna happen. The official stance is for people to use Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, "or any of the other fan community sites and forums". They are not gonna show favoritism for one fan-run forum over another or they'd have yet another shizstorm. We gotta do this the hard way... grass roots style by ourselves.

A referral in a discussion is much more powerful than an 'advert'.
Cyonan should never have to plug the group on BSN Prime, members who are enjoying the group may wish to.

Let them just be fellow forum users with no added pressure. If anything, I would use the amount of people registered here to entice others to come over. From what I can tell, we seem to be the site that has the most users. (Aside from the gaming sites that aren't dedicated Bioware sites that is such as IGN boards, Neoseeker, etc.)

The great thing about forums is that it allows us to cast off our daily shackles and to start with a clean slate and without baggage. They should be known here not as Jos and Barrett of Bioware, but as their usernames (which may ironically be Jos and Barrett). My point is, they should be treated the same as everyone else here and not used to push any sort of agendas. If they want to advertise for this forum or promote it, then they are able to do so of their own free will and without being pressured into doing so, because they are both rational adults capable of thinking for themselves and making decisions. I'm not trying to soapbox or shame anyone, but I just wanted to chime in and say that it's a bad idea.
