Lurker Lounge now a hack site

[Ruvanal]

Heh, diabloii.net stopped shooting themselves in the foot and decided to use dynamite instead. Seriously, I have never seen anyone so eager to alienate their own forum posters.

I have felt alienated to most of the admins at diabloii.net for quite some time. I had already run into all of the problems that Jarulf had listed in the post he linked to and others to boot. When they started ramping up the deletion of entire threads to kill links to outside sources several months ago was when I decided that I would only do casual posts to some of the threads there. It is not worth the effort to try and even help some of the players if the entire tread will be deleted to stop someone from pointing to the more accurate information that can be found elsewhere. Particularly when such information had been offered to them earlier and refused because "...it is felt that there is not enough interest among the players in this type of information." One such case in particular is now the most frequently requested and refered information that I see on their site and others (dectgap's affix calculator).
