Diabloii.net sucks ass

[WarBlade]

D2.Net IS a commercial site last time I looked. That means you have to follow their rules in order to visit or participate there.

Their rules being "eat spam"? Why are their rules "eat spam or sod off" when it would make far greater economic sense for all concerned if the rules were "BTW, here's something you might find interesting and your clicking on it will support us"? Advertising that does nobody any favours is pointless and only serves to set up a 'boy who cried wolf' syndrome where viewers become apathetic to things that might otherwise be receptive to. Internet advertisers and door-to-door salesmen often seem to be oblivious to that . . . and one tends to see why . . .

You have to put up with ads on TV, so I really don't see what the big deal is for popups for sites.

Well the TV ad thing is very arguable. Actually what I have to put up with is 3 minute gaps in a program that are spaced about 7 minutes apart. I have choices beyond that limitation of which putting up with ads is but one.

I *hope* you're not you're entitled to 1st Amendment rights at D2.Net or here.

I *hope* you're not mistakenly thinking that I have any idea what 1st Amendment rights are, or give two hoots about them if even I did? <_< I'm not in America, so why I should assume American law governs me at this time remains a mystery. <_<

Because you must agree to the terms of the individual site(usually posted in a FAQ or prominently on the site).

Yes. I can agree under protest too and still be technically agreeing.
