I personally think a better analogy is that Dii.net is a public library and the Lounge, the AB, etc are research libraries. A public library has lots of available info, but some may not be as in depth as you would like. So what do you do? You go to the experts. You also deal with a lot of stuff you don't like or think is garbage (I'm thinking of the book-of-the-moment type of reading).
Both are good in different situations. I don't post (under a different nom de guerre) over there as much as here only because I usually don't have anything to say/add to what's already been said. That is one of the benefits to Dii.net. The sheer volume of people practically guarantees responses. But I won't go into the quality of some of those posts though ;)

FenrisWulf (aside): Just curious, but where did you start posting first? Dii.net or the Lounge? Also, where do you do most of your posting? I'm just wondering if that is part of the reason why you have a good relationship with Elly and the others. More contact over a long period of time = Good Thing â¢
I started at diabloii.net, in the Druid Forum. Around one and a half years ago. Of course, Jarulf, Ruvenal, and Tommi have undoubtedly been in this business much longer than that (which must have included some posting at the dii.net forums), so I'm not sure it's entirely a time issue. Perhaps I'm less conspicuous than they are.

Maybe that's the difference? Moderator-wise there isn't really a problematic one at the druid forum, so most of the time the wouldn't be any poster-admin conflicts. With no such conflicts, impressions would be much much better than if the poster had been exposed to all sorts of conflicts between posters and the administrators.

Do you mind telling were you have seen this sugestion? Sorry. My mistake. It was Worgus' reply to rwbatema in this thread which was linked to earlier. "If you don't like them [the rules] go somewhere else. " It's all such a mish-mash now, I'm not remembering everything.

Very sensible of you.

Check out this thread. It even made the front page at dii.net, so it must be big news. :D

Perhaps I'm less conspicuous than they are. It wasn't a time issue, it's more of a "how often do you post?" issue. From what I can see (after a quick search), Jarulf and the others that you mentioned post only when there's a question that no one seems to know the correct answer. Although I have noticed that with Jarulf's last few posts, he is more chatting, and not answering technical questions (like he mentioned in this thread a few posts ago).
*shrugs* I'm not a regular poster over there, so I don't know enough to weigh in anymore on this whole relationship thing. Maybe if I got to know the admins a bit better, then I can form a better opinion on them.
But for the record, I'm not a fan on the ban on particular offsite links. But if that's the way they run things, then that's the way it goes. I can always come here or do a google search if I need to :)

But, I'm glad I'm not Nico. I can just imagine what Elric has planned for him. Poor wolf... :lol:

I thought the Lurker Lounge, DiabloII.net, Amazon Basin, etc. were all about sharing info with each other...guess I was wrong. I've never been in the Dii.net forrums much but I use info on their site all the time.......Never Ever been to Amazon Basin except thru links here.....I don't know, thought you guys knew each other....It would be cool to, instead of being competitors, be one HUGE community.

Well, to be fair, the Lurker Lounge and Amazon Basin are very good about sharing information and members; you'll see that a quite large percentage of the posters here have AB accounts, and new strategies and discoveries flow back and forth freely. diabloii.net runs under a bit of a different business model, unfortunately.
