Lurker Lounge now a hack site

[Archon_Wing]

I don't like seeing blatant ripping on the dii.net posters, since generalizations like that will just lead to dii.net posters making generalizations that LL posters are a bunch of jerks.

So yea, that's fairly true. I don't like snobbery of any kind. Of course, I can understand how many long-time posters here can have a err.... deep affiliation with this site. Obviously, many people do think LL is the best, for why would they keep posting here if they don't. I don't mind that.

Granted, I don't think anyone in particular is really a snob although I will admit that Conner was trying to be such, and I'm not sure he was... that... serious.
======================================
General thoughts, not directed really at anyone:

Like I said before, I do originate from the cesspool some of you may call dii.net, explaining my chronic use of smilies. :) I personally think this kind of cross-forum superority complex is kind of silly- the posters make the forum, not vice versa. Likewise, I do realize there are more trolls/fools there, and that would easily fuel some of your assumptions.

I'm not really offended. That's rather silly. I don't consider myself belonging to any one particular forum. But I would like to point out that the terms "good" "bad" "best" are subjective terms. As in one may prefer here and others may prefer www.battle.net forums (*shudders*) :D I do not think you can really compare them.

The Lurker Lounge has a small population, but has many mature and informed posters.

Dii.net has a large population, but the skill level of posting is someone dilluted. Is that really a bad thing? Not really, if you like to gamble. :) I mean more people ca be good in one way... more variation in opinions. This also means more fools, but you can't have everything.

I find I can post a little more casually on dii.net though ;) You can't expect me to make coherent posts all the time! But some jokes have to be cracked on the Lurker Lounge. I have no clue why.

But if for some reason, you wanted to stop by dii.net, I recomond you check the off-topic forum. You won't be disappointed.

Battle.net forums has errr.... GFrazier! :)

So whatever floats your boat.

So the main point of this post is not why dii.net sucks, but complaints about a policy that is potentially self-destructive. We can only hope they can approach this with an open mind.

Edit: as another stupid piece of info, when I first posted on dii.net, i used choppy sentences and used *cough* AIM talk. So believe it or not, I actualy matured on those forums a bit. ;) And no, I never spoke "l33t" although making fun of it remains my hobby to this very day.
