Wrath of Dagon Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I used to live on Bio forums, but after DAO I finally gave up on Bio. By then the forums had way too many people, it wasn't any fun anyway. 1 "Moral indignation is a standard strategy for endowing the idiot with dignity."

Mamoulian War Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I used to live on Bio forums, but after DAO I finally gave up on Bio. By then the forums had way too many people, it wasn't any fun anyway. I was frequenting Bio Forums more often than Obsids at some point, but it was before they moved to the "more social" platform. Even when EA was already their masters, the old forums were solid and seemed friendly to me. Never visited the new forums, becuase I heard only the worst things about it. I like these forums, becuase they feel very civil and I like it.

Tel Aviv Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I never was fan of BioBoards, but I'm sad to see them gone. I think developers not interacting with fans is a bad thing. I agree, though I suppose Twitter and Facebook fulfil that purpose now. The humble forum is dead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chilloutman Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 plz don't take down "ObiBoards", as I then do not know where else to go. Aren't you at home on NMA? I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future. Do you know what it is?

Bokishi Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 The old Bioboards was like the first discussion forum I ever joined. It has been offline for a long time now. I never joined the newer boards though, so I don't really care that it's gone now too. Long live Darth Woo Current 3DMark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoraptor Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 We've got some great forums here, haven't we people? Believe me, I know forums, and this one is great. Something something build a wall around the forums something something make Bioware EA pay for it. I wonder what happens to the NWN2 forums, would be ironic if they ended up here after being off site so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
