Nepenthe Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 I found this funny. Yeah that was funny No, it's not. It just means that Bioware's forum consists of two groups of deviants, one who take it seriously and second who are way too creative in their trolling to be normal, either. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions

No I don't see it like that at all, what the guy did is obviously trawl BSN and look for the most bizarre, explicit and controversial comments he could find. We know these exist on BSN but we also know there are thousands of normal posts about DA:I. So we can't generalize and say this video represents all the people on BSN, that's an unfair characterization of BSN.

Good Fun! Even if each page on BSN contains one thread of " bizarre, explicit and controversial comments" there are on average about 25 topics per page , that means 4 % of the topics are " bizarre, explicit and controversial comments" This is a small number of the total number of " normal " posts. I stand by what I say, you guys are exaggerating when you suggest that most of the comments on BSN are like the comments in the video. And then even in a topic like Iron Bull not every comment in that thread is going to be about people wanting to have sex with him which brings down the total number of " bizarre, explicit and controversial comments" even more "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Haha I can only imagine the bewilderment when Gaider, Priestly, Woo, or some such sees one of these posts. that is not a post of ours. as to bruce, am thinking you misrecognize basic terminology. http://forum.bioware.com/forum/267-scuttlebutt/ that is a page. scroll down and notice at the bottom-- it gives a page number. there is approx 25 topics/threads we see per page given our resolution... each thread typical has between one and a bazillion additional pages. ... all o' which is pointless. am thinking the post we linked from bsn is honest. the guy claimed to have read 1/10th o' daily posts and he were believing a daily version o' such a ridicule/ridiculous video could be constructed. hyperbole? perhaps, but not by much. HA! Good Fun! ps is always amusing that we can rare get our moniker when signing up for a crpg message board or game because some other "gromnir" has already taken that name.
