I think this is the first time I read a thread just because I noticed a developer posted in it.
As far as folks bashing Obsidian at the Bioware fora... who cares? Hell, Rhomal, you gave me an unofficial warning there a couple of months ago for bashing Bioware. To be fair, however, I wasn't bashing Bioware. I was bashing the obnoxious NWN community.
So, folks bash each other. I would rather have the community here, but I suspect that Bioware won't let go of its share of the NWN license until you pry it from their cold, dead hands. Fine, let them have the forum over there. As long as they keep to their normal draconian measures, of which you are a practitioner, then folks won't get far bashing Obsidian once NWN2 hits the shelves.
Otherewise, I like the community well enough. Regardless of my rather harsh words, I don't even think you do such a bad job as a moderator there.
