Lurker Lounge now a hack site

I wonder if advertising revenues from # of hits is an unadmitted factor.  Sounds like the old story of Microsoft Gas only for Microsoft Cars.

Of course hits is a big thing and so is add revenues (just check the Announcement in the forums) and no wonder, must cost quite a lot to run that site, just imagine the bandwidth for example. I never understood why they need one million different domain names though :)

On the other hand, being paranoid and thinking that just because someone post information to some other site, people will go LESS to their own site simply is not nessecary. On the contrary. People KNOW you get good info in their forums and then come to them (and the site) more. Puting the head into the sand pretending there is no other D2 site out there is just follishly. But hey, it is their call.
