There are many ways to have a semi-private community. B.net is possible a variety of different ways, but in my opinion, each is inferior to a private server. The argument isn't that a private server is required, but that it is the best solution of those available. I would much rather play on a private server than fumble through b.net.
I was really looking for comments on everything else: Would making membership invite-only (from any member) help keep the server standards up? Is there really enough interest to "require" creating new characters only, not to mention all content? Would the member/character ranks encourage interest, or do you think they are too corny? Anything else the mod should fix/change that you have found annoying for 8 years?
I guess my goal is for my site to slowly evolve from what it is now (I know, it sucks:) to the place for a bunch of classic-Diablo-playing fools! However, I wouldn't really care to put a lot of time and effort into it if there aren't many more classic-Diablo-playing fools! besides me left.
