Just a heads up, for those who don't know, but still participate over at Beth. They're going to be making new forums, and from what I'm hearing, a lot of things are going to get demolished. Usernames, post counts, stars .... all of that is going to be started over. Actually, here, I'll just let Gstaff explain ...

Hi

We’re still in kicking the tires on Bethesda.net, and are very excited about the progress we’re making on the forums. We believe you guys will be happy with the changes and new features they will offer.

There are a few things worth noting at this time:

1) Usernames and posts will not be ported over. We will give folks a heads up as we get closer to the forum launch date so you can ready for the transition and claim your preferred username.

2) We will not transition all of our forums over at once. We want to make sure we’re testing functionality on the forums and gathering feedback from folks like you.

3) As forums transition over to Bethesda.net we plan to archive the existing forums so that folks can reference back to old posts.

Moving is never easy – there will be adjustments and we hope that you’ll pardon the dust as we all get used to our new digs. Knowing the longstanding efforts, love and attention, and general awesomness I’ve seen from all of you, I expect bigger and better things for everyone on the Bethesda.net forums.

Much more to come!



Personally I could care less about my username, my post count, my stars, all of that stuff. I was worried I would lose all my old posts there, the stories, the good times, but apparently #3 takes care of that. They're supposed to archive the old forums, which means all our ("Our", assuming you participated over at Beth) posts are going to be okay, we just won't be able to participate in old threads. PMs are also not getting ported over, but those are easy to archive, of course.

So in essence, we're all getting the banhammer over at Beth. yuk yuk. hehe.gif It's all good though.

You ho.

Honestly, nothing will be as bad as censoring parts of words because they contain letters that make up a naughty word.



Ditto.

That sounds like a simple fix, too. You can add whatever word you want to board filters, and usually there is an option for exact match only.

It's but a few clicks of the mouse to correct.

Too much work for Bethesda. They'll just wait until a modder fixes it bigsmile.gif

The Oblivion sub-forums there are still all but dead. The Mods sub-forum has few "official" individual mod threads. I had hope that that sub-forum at least would show steady activity. How are we supposed to keep abreast of new releases and updates/patches for existing mods? Has some other forum usurped that function? The Oblivion General Discussion sub-forum is little if any better off. Heck, its somewhat recently begun Screenshots thread appears to be locked. Still no forum-wide Community Discussion forum either. Gotta admit I don't help matters any, rarely contributing anything. It's just not an inviting place the way its set up. I'd likely participate more often it was more active, but at this stage I question if that will ever happen. Are sub-forums for more recently released Beth titles more active????

The Skyrim ones seem to be swamped with Xbox1 users demanding more free content. In particular, there are a lot of requests for somebody else to port PC mods over, even after the author has declined to do so. It's bad enough for me to decide that I'll not port anything new I create to Xbox1, nor allow anyone else to do so. Fortunately my mods are too demanding of the player (Build Your Own? Why can't the mod do that for me?) to be very popular.

There are a number of PC players and Mod Authors there, but I suspect the numbers are dwindling in the face of the toxic atmosphere from the Xbox1 people. PS4 users often chime in to blame Bethesda for Sony's restrictions on mods, which just makes it worse. It's that constant whine that makes me think the Creation Club is an attempt to get around the Sony issue.

The Oblivion forums probably suffer from the state of the others. The Screenshot thread was closed at Renee's request, with a "please start a fresh one" at the end.

Several posters have also made the point that the editor is less friendly on the new board, and a lot of content they intended to bring over can't be added the way they needed to. and there aren't any stickies, so stuff ages off, regardless of how much it's read, if it's not constantly updated. So they gave up.

Yeah, when I looked around over there it just confused the heck out of me. Since my current game is ESO and their forum is run by Zenimax, I gave up on the official BethSoft forums. Still not sure why they broke a good thing. wacko.gif
