I know this won't work here:

I've tried so before...

But maybe this will:

And if that ain't an available color, maybe this will be:

UBB Code must work, right?
Oh yeah, probably, since it says to on the left side of my screen while I'm typing this... Silly me...

We have a whole load of made-up ranks here, check out the SYM forum.

I am currently a "Flirtmaster" but am working towards "Pantless Marine".

The Ultimate goal is to be a "Butt Pirate", like Ubik

Hey kewl! At least this site doesn't have "flood control"! But I'm starting to look like a flamer... And to what use? There isn't even a Legendary Champion status to achieve... Boohoohoo...
(pull yourself together man!)

Alright I'm back.

A test to see if I got over it:
Change my start page to GameBanshee instead of BGDungeon... D@mn this is hard...
AARGH!!

Yeah diablo was an @$$... He insulted Belgium! I showed him good, heh heh...

I got 1500 posts and I was still an Expert Dragonslayer! That should've been a Grandmaster! But I don't care about status that much anymore.

Nam is right. I've seen comments here and elsewhere proclaiming the end of BG's boards, but it's significant that he left himself an out in his phrasing, just in case he wants to restart 'em. I'm hoping he'll calm down, and do so. The great thing about the boards were simply the volume of messages they contained; you could turn away for 15 minutes, come back, and find plenty of new posts. It was extremely easy to get opinions about anything, as a result.

yea, no offence to this board, but sometimes i waited more than an hr and not even 1 post has been posted

Hey, I know some of you.

I share your pain.

Hey all,

I was rather disappointed at the closing, too. After I went through so much just to get a password - and there was great information.

I don't know about financial troubles, but I did watch the posts over the past few days. My guess for "why" is the entire brotherhood stuff. Someone started a new one (fighter/mage I think) and it really got out of hand. People were posting some pretty rough stuff (explicit cursing and all).

Frankly, I don't blame the person for shutting stuff down. Some people really needed to exercise restraint.

Sorry to double post

But

Elysium?
What's the url?

fable · Post by **fable** » Thu Mar 22, 2001 4:31 pm

Frelic, a good deal of information is still there--it's just not in the message boards. And many people used the message boards because they were, frankly, lazy. They'd post stuff like:

Topic: PLEEZE!!!! HELP!!!!!!
Content: Wherz th Crom Far???!!!???

...And of course, somebody would tell them. But they could have used the Magic Items link on BG's BG2 page to get a complete list of all magic items, with their placement; or they might have done searches on the words "Crom Faeyr," and pulled up threads mentioning where it was, what perils to expect, etc.

I don't know much about the "brotherhood" stuff. I gather it was all talk, and pure steam. I hope it doesn't get out of hand here, because I've seen it starting up.

frelic · Post by **frelic** » Thu Mar 22, 2001 4:37 pm

Hey, I hear you. I just know the last few brotherhood posts for the one really had someone letting loose - words that really should not be repeated - and no creative "*" were used to disguise stuff.

However, I have found gamebanshee to have more up to date information. Much of the basics were there, but it simply wasn't updated. Of course, that's a big job and I applaud any efforts that were made to begin with.

Nice to see civility on this side.

Ya, I think it's cause the use the same type of BB called Ultimate bullitin board. It's the best IMHO. By the way do you know the url for Elysium ?

I know that it is a sad thing that the BG Tavern had to close down. I don't know all the specifics, but it is always sad when message boards or sites have to close down.

I however feel that you are not giving GameBanshee enough credit. You have to realize that we have a lot smaller community than BG Tavern, but it is still a pretty active one.

I know that it is not your intention to be disrespectful of this site and this message board, but some of your posts could be seen that way.

I hope that all of you will like it here at GameBanshee even if it is not BG Tavern.
