Ya know, I came to the Lounge back when it was still on network54. (Due to some fanfic by Ronin that I'd really liked and someone on alt.games.diablo mentioned that it was also on the Lounge.) Huh - one of the last threads was a post count - I had 250 back then - about 1/6th as many as Occhi... (Urg! Just spent a half hour looking at old threads.)
At times I've been a bit taken aback by some things here. But I have to admit that people like Pete do act like a dose of chlorine in the gene pool. :P
Right now, I like the metaphor that the LL is an ecology of ideas - in some ways, a harsh, Darwinian one. That's what makes it so valuable - the strongest/best ideas survive. I don't know if that's what Bolty originally intended, but it's an interesting result.
dii.net must run under some other baseline, but I haven't figured out what it is.
