Lurker Lounge now a hack site

[Kyrene]

Just to make sure that you realise, the admins at diabloii.net were also classifing the Amazon Basin as a hack site also.  I ran into this earlier than the incident that Juarlf ran into concerning the LL.

Ruv,

No worries here mate. I was last regged at dii.blah.gossip.net during 1.03. I have never regretted leaving.

Oh, and, yeah I got the innuendo (actually it was blatantly stated) in Elly's 'axe grinding' sniffing (sniveling?) reply. She actaully mentioned LL and AB by name in her P.S.

Way back when (IIRC Jan/Feb 2002) I wrote a little Avg Dam Calc with info gotten from here, AB, D2Realms and the german WSC site (mostly Heri for the Jab stuff back then). I approached AB, D2Realms and dii.net (I can't recall if I approached LL) for linkage, since I had worked hard on it and wanted the peeps out there to have a nice lil tool to help them decide between axe A and sword B. To date I have gotten 11.6K hits on the download page and it is even Googled, but have yet to receive a reply from Elly to say that they will not indeed have any need to link to it. No great loss, as I lost the source code recently and won't be continueing the project anyhow (WSC does a better job anyway for weapon speeds), but it was just once again an indication of the rot that has set in at dii.

Perhaps I give them to much credit on the download page:

DiabloII.Net (Some good, some bad, but overall Elly, Gaile and Flux run a good site)
