Lurker Lounge now a hack site

[FenrisWulf]

Whoof. Tough set of posts to respond to. :P

@Kyrene:
Sigh, valid point of view. Again, I don't see things in quite the same way as you concerning the general malaise of diabloii.net, so it's difficult to offer up acceptable defenses; we both reach our conclusions in appropriate manners (well...I think I do), but we're not starting at the same place. You (and just about everyone else here :P) are right, there is a sizeable amount of bad among the good over at diabloii.net; I just value those goods enough to live with the bad. Eh. Point, advantage Lurker Lounge.

Owwwww. :D I worked hard on my guide. Though you're correct...it needed more Volcano.

I'm not sure that I could really counter your opinions on the subject except by giving my own, and I'm pretty sure that everyone and their brother has already heard those. :P Soo...I disagree! *runs*

Owwwww. :D

Okay, now for the entire quote:

You mean we are not allowed to discuss something at another place (at a site that is NOT the one in question) just because you feel there are other ways to "deal" with something you have obviously no idea what it is all about and obviously don't have the whole understanding of?

No, sorry. Don't get me wrong, you have every right to gripe at diabloii.net both here, there, and anywhere. I'm just exercising my right not to like it very much. :P To me, all this talk about how diabloii.net content is "mountains of manure" and how the members there are "arrogant and ignorant" (while I understand the subtleties of this statement a bit better now, Kyrene, it's still insulting)...well, it's pointless, for one, and it seems to be fairly blantant self-inflation, which always annoys me. You guys are great, yay. You have the best damn Weredruid guide ever (thanks, Jonathan Spectre!), and perhaps a few other decent ones. :D Your game knowledge is l33t. Do you really need to fluff your egos by pointing out that, hey, we're awesome and diabloii.net sucks a nut? The fish in the barrel, they're asking, "Please stop shooting us!"

You know how Conner MacLeod recently left due to the outcry over the misguided way in which he defended the Lurker Lounge and maligned diabloii.net? I don't see a lot of the content of this thread being much better.

Anyway, that's just on the general anti-dii.net vocality for a host of random reasons, not at all concerning the administrative policies of dii.net staff. On that note, I must leave for a trumpet lesson; I may have to throw in my towel for further argument, though, because I can't make a valid stance any more without actually knowing what's going on inside the heads of the diabloii.net admins. Thanks.
