I never understood why they need one million different domain names though :)
On the other hand, being paranoid and thinking that just because someone post information to some other site, people will go LESS to their own site simply is not nessecary. On the contrary. People KNOW you get good info in their forums and then come to them (and the site) more. Puting the head into the sand pretending there is no other D2 site out there is just follishly. But hey, it is their call.
There are three types of people in the world. Those who can count and those who can't.
