Fexelea's and the super green one were around before the shutdown, so they're sorta like TSG and VSN in that respect. Weren't purposed to replace the BSN.

Only two contenders I see for full replacement forums are Korra's (ugh) and Cyonan's.

Hopefully most of them will gravitate to Cyonan's BSN, but I have no interest in a recreated BSN. It will never be the same, just like this isn't really the same as OT. But at least I have a reason to preserve what I have here.

That's what Cyonan's forum essentially is an attempt at. We're already 170 members strong and have DragonRacer as our community manager.

Does it matter which forum people go for, though? This forum seems perfectly fine to me.

I'll wait and see where people end up and probably at least lurk wherever the go-to place ends up being for most people, in addition to being here. Where people like ElitePinecone and Hrungr end up will probably also sway me since they've been amazing at keeping the community up to date with relevant news just in general in addition to the tweets.

LOL

Barrett Rodych was always one of my favorite people from BW that actually posted on the BSN

The like. At least I thought it was pretty funny to see a company employee giving a cheeky like for that post.

And of course even that thread gets locked down by one of the shittastic modbots for being "redundant" since there is already a thread....and proceeds to link to a thread that's not about Cyonan's forum.

If ME:A turns out a good game and can convince me to buy it at some time, I might migrate to Cyonan's forum, if only for the datamining and MP folks.

Until such a time, here's plenty enough for me.

Well it appears this has become a trending topic on Facebook.
