Well, bottom line. First Iraq, next Dii.net.
I'm happy to see Bolty is on board there. LMAO! Let the outright carpet-flaming of Dii.net begin!
While Dii.net is not an evil empire or anything, it's filled with the lamest of the lamest posts and the most mindless drivel you can find. Read any of my posts and then downgrade them by a factor of 20 and you have a Dii.net post! Easy formula, try to keep up.
I also point my finger at any of the mods over there (except Worgus, who does a bangbuster job with the MP). It used to be an interesting site, but they are completely out of touch. The mods seem to think they are the end all be all of Diablo. And as for a community, I would call it a Communistity. The gang at the top are always correct, and their policies are based on a whim or a time of the month. There is nothing to be learned at Dii.net about this game that is at all meaningful.
My case in point. I was perusing the "Community Forum" and someone asked for help with Shopbot. Not only was this a truly illegit post that has no place on their site but was also a thread that was 30 replies long, with a few posts instructing the original poster as to how to get the most benefit out of it. Only 2 or 3 flamed the guy, and the rest were assisting him! A few posts mentioned that it should be deleted, but I guess the moderators over there are too busy basking in the glow of their power that they overlooked it or something. Truly lame.
A site like that should change it's slogan from the "Un-Official Site" to the "Un-Official Hacker Helpers Site".
As for them ripping off that Hacker article of 3-4 weeks ago, I wouldn't put it beneath the mods there or anything, they are trying hard to skirt the Blizz rules so they can be in their good graces. They can't attract anyone to Flux's annoying rants and such, so why not post hacks? Well, that job is taken, join another forum. Top things I would suggest to Mods of Dii.net:
1) Learn how a hack works
2) Learn about the various hacks
3) You must be 110% stupid not to know what is shopbottable or not. I mean comeon - ban all .08 items and not ban Cruel Zerkers, Hydras, and Ward Bows? WTF?
4) Learn how that last dupe hack worked. 120 gems max for a trade? OK, that's as dumb as bricks. Ban something that couldn't be duped. Let's exercise our moronically given power a little.
5) Read Lurker Lounge to learn how the game works. Do it between coffee breaks or something, because you guys obviously don't know the game at all. Call us hackers when we are kicking your butt with legit items.
This is my rant, I truly hate that site's forum side, but their Marketplace is a good place to get rich.
