I once made a Paladin that did this exact same thing, minus the "never play D2 again" part. I still play D2 all the time, so the answer isn't me.

Oh, woe is me, to lose it as such a young age! Whatever will become of this poor miserable sod, doomed to wander for eternity in forgetfulness! Well, okay, maybe not :P As for the MMAgCh question, I thought the first two letters were his actual initials, although the Mad Mac thing sounds pretty good too. Shame I'm clueless as to who was the person to quit D2 - although I do vaguely recall exploits of someone playing the game without using talent points; no recollection of someone quitting over it though.

I don't think it was Mad Mac....
I'll give a hint about the "infamous" player. He went through 2.5 major handles in his years in the Diablo community, and many lesser ones. If that does not work, I'll give an even bigger hint, but this should work considering that there are several here who saw all 3 or at least 2 of the earlier ones (that's a hint in itself). -A

He made that very well-known in the old DSF, to the point that longish flamewars would errupt over Bolty's lists of essential Diablo-related links. Bolty created his Strategy Central to curtail this. Question: Who are the confirmed Blizzard employees that have posted here?

IIRC, it wasn't that he didn't like mods, but that the character of Finnan Haddie didn't like mods. Some of the D2 characters took a different position on the topic, especially when Sirian was around stirring the pot.
BTW, does anyone know of an incarnation later than "Aceto"? If he appeared after that, I'm totally clueless. :unsure:

Some of the D2 characters took a different position on the topic, especially when Sirian was around stirring the pot. Yes, he had one or several evil twins on the Blizzard forums. BTW, his main addy was "Sourceror", as in source code. He was a programmer, and as far as I remember, that was his background for his opposing any mods. I guess he generally disapproved of fiddling with other people's (programmers') code in any way. The other misspelling came from "Simon the Sorceror", if memory serves me right. Quote:BTW, does anyone know of an incarnation later than "Aceto"? If he appeared after that, I'm totally clueless. Too bad, no :( When was the last time anybody heard of him? By the way: pretty soon (bit more than a year), it will be "10 Years of Diablo" for some of us and not very much later 10 Years of Diablo forum activity! c+  Leshy,Oct 14 2005, 08:49 PM Wrote:As for the MMAgCh question, I thought the first two letters were his actual initialsIndeed, though I must admit I like the "Mad Mac" variant :P And for what it's worth, I've never been an admin, merely a mod during the late N54 days of yore.

Personal note: The Blizz/Sirian flame wars on the Lounge over the PK exploits, Hostility, and the fundamental concept of D2 PvP vis a vis where it fit into the game, represent to me both an apogee and a perigee of the Lounge. They occurred at a time when the Lounge was The premier D2 discussion venue, yet it was a wave's crest that plunged into a trough filled by the old skeltal remains of the D2 suggestion forum's pre-release battles. The core philosophical and design issues were unearthed by LoD and its unfinished state to walk the land again as a mindless zombies, seeking "brains, brains." By the time the Blessed Flame Hammers had stopped whirling around, we lost Sirian and some others as contributing members. I count that as a loss. Occhi
