March 18, 200718 yr Back to atease for me, I think. Tis not what it once was though, times, they have a changed. I used to be big man on campus, now I'm little Johnny Small-Fry.
March 18, 200718 yr What if the boards become massive and bloated due to Obsidian's success? A Bioware clone. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.

March 19, 200718 yr Just curious, is there anything to this other than "what if"? Obsidian has only made two titles and both have been succsesful. Not like they are laying eggs here. But if it happens, I've seen a few of you guys on other forums around the web.

March 19, 200718 yr There is nothing else besides the "what if"-factor. Obsidian is doing well. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds
March 19, 200718 yr Author This sort of gauges for me how big a part the OE forum community plays in your time on the internet. I also think this gives some insurance for the community we have, even if you think it's impossible for Obsidian to go out of business. Edited March 19, 200718 yr by Blank
March 19, 200718 yr hmmmm lets see. well i guess id hang out at decklins domain's forums. Strength through Mercy Head Torturor of the Cult of the Anti-gnome
March 19, 200718 yr I think I'd just porn surf more. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
March 19, 200718 yr I come to these boards for the community only. I barely touched NWN2(bugs) and I felt KotOR 2 was rushed to a point that it hindered my enjoyment of the game. This forum is the best managed forum I've ever been to. The community is tight, smart and funny, irrelevant posts or posters are quickly removed or reprimanded(compared to other places), all the features are easy to use, the interface is clean, simple and attractive. For these and many other reasons, I don't know what I would do if Obsidian would close shop and these boards would go away. I'd probably try to use my blog space to reproduce a similar experience as I get here because the other forums I visit frequently, BSG and some french newspaper forums, are not nearly as smart and interesting as this one is. Not by a long shot. In any case, I would certainly be very sad. :sad: http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/
March 19, 200718 yr I suspect my life would be relatively unaffected. Given I've already grown disenfranchised with the forum, I'd probably only notice when reading about Obsidian going under. Though undoubtedly I'd bump into the odd familiar alias at times, for better or worse. Edited March 19, 200718 yr by alanschu
March 19, 200718 yr I'd follow the talent... And see where they end up... "I'm a programmer at a games company... REET GOOD!" - Me

March 20, 200718 yr I would just return to the BG modding forums and post there full time again. There's always Bioware to hang out also. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.

March 20, 200718 yr I don't think the invision software can handle 5 million bio-weenie posterz It would break under the pressure. Certain Naruto forum has more people online than Bioware every freaking minute and it works just fine. Level of discussion on the other hand is totally different thing.

March 20, 200718 yr ...I've already grown disenfranchised with the forum... Uhm.. I think you lost the right to use the word "already" TEN THOUSAND posts ago. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
