BioWare official forums shutting down! END OF RINE!

[abnaxus]

In turn, you’ve built your own fantastic communities in places like Tumblr and Reddit.

Beyond any doubt.

Sorry, I didn't specify and the new posts appeared before I wrote mine but after I started writing it. I meant a link to:

I'm linking the 'dex in my sig on BSN and posted a link in that forum deletion thread as well. I received the predictable lulzy responses to the latter already, kek.

I really hope a lot of them comes to 'dex.

I think a fresh infusion of furry's, romance fags, genderfluid, and SJWs would be good for this place. Right now a lot of discussion are circle jerks involving the same people talking about the same stuff. Fresh blood could only help.

That problem could be solved if half the edge lords came out of the closet on what they really like in RPGs.

No need for desperate measures.

Ironic since bioware forums contained the people who liked his writing.

 

[Azalin]

End of rine...

I don't think the Codex can handle another refugee crisis.

Build the wall!

And make Bioware pay for it

 

[Morality Games]

Ironic since bioware forums contained the people who liked his writing.

In the same way the faeries in Jonathon Strange & Mr. Norrell liked humans -- they would be gushing about how great friends they were one moment and then tearing out their organs to divine the future the next.

The Bioware forum was as Byronic as the Codex in its own way.

 

[Coma White]

End of the line.

I think this decision is being driven solely by accountants

Nuh uh. Fuck you, random bioasshole.

Management makes the call. We just tell 'em how much it would cost/save. I'm glad your forum is dying. Hear that? Glad.

To be fair, he could easily be a codexer if this place ever shuts down.

 

[Neanderthal]

I'm gonna puke.

 

[Stainless Veteran]

And yeah, I know that they both left long time ago, but the cesspit only got even worse somehow, so.

 

[Neanderthal]

I've puked now.

 

[Coma White]

Does he have a Dragon Age tattoo sleeve? Or is that some kind of armlet?

DRAMATIC RE-ENACTMENT
-----------------------------------

Bioware CEO (on the phone with EA HQ): Ok...yah. Uh huh. Yup. Gotcha.

*hangs up*
*walks into CFO's office*

CEO: So I just got off the phone with EA. They said we're gonna need to bring up margins again.

CFO: What?! Why? We're already crushing it with DA: Inquisition!

CEO: I know I know. I told 'em the same thing. They said something about making up for the costs that all the recent new hires are gonna suck up since we had those departures.

CFO: *scoff* As if it takes that much to replace that bald bastard and some other random weirdos.

CEO: *chuckles* I know right? Anyway, can you take a look at some low hanging fruit to cut? No salaries or personnel. Just something we haven't cut but been meaning to.

CFO: Hmmm, well we always talked about getting rid of those forums. They're a pain in the ass to maintain, cost-wise, and I don't think they're all important.

CEO: Yah, do me a favor and take a look.

-= later that day =-

*CFO walks into the Director of FP&A's cube*

CFO: Hey, so we're trying to bring up margins again.

DFP&A: Huh? What for? They're solid.

CFO: Long story, but it's mainly Gaider's fault.

*DFP&A nods*

CFO: Anyway, let's look at some low hanging fruit and build a model to see what it looks like. I'm thinking we can cut the forums. They're a waste of space really.

DRP&A: K. I'll get you something this afternoon.

-=an hour later =-

Analyst: So yeah...umm the marketing guys say we won't really lose all that much if we cut the forums. Maybe a hundred people max who are too upset at us to buy product. But overall it's a net gain when you look at the maintenance costs.

DFP&A: Sounds about right. IT costs pretty high?

Analyst: Yah, mainly healthcare costs

DRP&A: Wut?

Analyst: Yeah, apparently it sucks up a bunch of costs related to mental health on the admins. Go figure.

DFP&A: Jesus. Why didn't we cut this sooner?

Analyst: *shrugs*

DFP&A: Ok, so the loss isn't that much?

Analyst: Nah. I modeled out that most people will just go to other forums or create an archived version. They basically do our job for us.

DFP&A: Nice. Those losers finally do something useful.

-= that night =-

CFO: Yeah, so basically we can cut the forums and the end result is actually a gain for us. No one really is gonna stop buying our product.

CEO: Nice! Yeah, let's just do that ASAP. The faster the better. It'll be like getting new carpet and removing the old stinky one from the building.

THE END

EDIT: Not much drama. We are accountants after all.

 

[Dux]

As if their abject buggery of all that's pristine and decent wasn't bad enough, they've now gone and expulsed the fucking leper colony. That's just splendiferous, isn't it? Splendiferous.

Does this spell more trouble on the horizon for BioWare? Meanwhile, in a particularly fucked up alternate universe there exists a copy of me who actually gives a flying poop about any this.

 

[Stainless Veteran]

He wears some kind of a cloth thingy, don't know what's it called in English. Bioware fuckbois fanboys, though...

 

[Mustawd]

Jesus christ....

 

[Coma White]

Dear fucking God.

[Immortal]

All around me are familiar faces...

Worn out places...

Worn out Faces....

Bright and early for the daily races...

Going Nowhere.... Going Nowhere.....

Their tears are filling up their glasses

No expression, no expression

Hide my head, I wanna drown my sorrow...

No tomorrow, no tomorrow

And I find it kinda funny... I Find it kind of Sad..

 

[Maggot]

Does that last one come in adult sizes?
