Quick note about "MySuperSales.com" (the auction site linked on the fake Alla's): they bought the rights to a majority of the "mom and pop" EQ fansites over the last couple years. It really hurt alot of the communities that made EQ as good as it was. New moderators, fat banners everywhere, and iffy updates killed alot.

I'll try to find the press release, but Yantis, the previous owner of mysupersales.com, sold the entire network to IGE for something like $10,000,000. So, yeah, this #$%&'s big money.

Gibson-esque how they've commodified the subculture.

EDIT: Named Names.
