I can understand you guys if you decide not to post there anymore (just saw your post there, Jarulf) - I am certainly not happy with that though. I don't like their policy either, still, the statistics forum has always been a tremendous source of information for me and I am pretty sure for others as well.
From the beginning, when I started to post there, the forum on diabloii.net had some kind of "cold" atmosphere, which I had not known and still don't know from any other d2 forum - I thought that was because of its huge "community" (or shall I better call it huge amount of members?) but from week to week it became clearer to me, that it was the, let me call it "strange" policy of the site owners and the forum moderators. I never visited any other subforum than the statistics forum though - so I could not and still cannot evaluate the whole site. This thread solidated my suspicions though, no question.
Personally, I visit several english-speaking forums to learn more and discuss about technical stuff. Many german diablo2 players have benefitted from the discoveries and explanations which some you guys have made throughout the years since the game has been released and I try to transmit even more and as much as possible to them. Well, what am I trying to say? It's not my intention to convince you to forget about all the stuff that happened and still happens and continue like before.
I just wanted to express that there are a lot of people out there, who benefit so much from your work, much more than you might think, and who would probably suffer a lot from a boycot. Yes, there are other forums, and yes, I don't like diabloii.net very much either. But maybe there is still a slight chance that a poor website policy does not necessarily lead to a quit for good.
Still and again, I can understand your step.
