We may be the most popular guild on our server but still not that famous to get that much attention. Anyway i have no idea how these guys keep finding the sites and i just hate these damn link posts with irrelevant titles.

Yes i delete 6-8 marketing advertisments a week of this site
I noticed that there was a nude paris hilton ad posted somewhere. Cant the people who post that get in trouble? I mean, I know there is quite a few people here who are under the age of 18.

For the sake of SICK and the glory of Lord Silver.
Those whom have taken in the wicked, shall be punished by thy Lord.
Those whom have trechered into the dark, shall be smited by thy Light.
It's been talked about and shown in forums, etc. But it would be cool to have a page dedicated (not a thread in the forums) to what D3 stuff might be like just for fun, as seeing we're at diablo3.com

"Cards and flowers on your window, your friends all plead for you to stay,
sometimes beginnings aren't so simple, sometimes goodbye's the only way."
nothing has been confirmed by blizzard. also our perceptions of what might be in d3 is constantly changing, classes are edited/renamed, skilled are edited/renamed. if there was something more concrete to post yeh then a dedicated page would be a great idea.

not without someone constantly updating it. when blizzard releases some actual details i would expect such a page to exist. until then, thread will have to do.
we and by we i mean mostly me, go thru the threads main threads, chars you want/things you want and update the lists, and repost 'em as often as i can, just so people have an idea of what has been said/suggested. plus with all the reposts it saves people reading what 30 odd, and before i remade the threads 90 odd pages just to find out what has been suggested.

figured id just do an quick update on what has been suggested.
blue text: suggestion
black (non bolded text): reply
1. Live Chat and/or shout box
-bring back the shoutbox or give us Live Chat
-in website shoutbox cannot be done do to inability to properly police it. so an external live chat using IRC has been made you can see it here http://www.diablo3.com/cmps_index.php?page=chat
or on IRC here
server irc.gamesurge.net
channel #diablo3.
2. Deletion of Inactive accounts
-do something about the large number of inactive accounts
-Umaro: Will not be done at this time, when game is announced we will prune in-active accounts.
-The reputation sysytem to actually mean something.
-virtually pointless until such a time as a worthy reward for a high reputation is found
6. Links on home page fixed
-the 5 or so things on the 'portal home' page in the top left corner that dont work either need to be deleted, or be made to work, esp the gallery and downloads
-a gallery thats full of screenshots from all the diablo series games, and a subsection of submitted char builds with pics, oh and a gallery/subsection for non diablo related pics
-Gallery is up and running so its up to the people to use it to supply these things.
8. Top posters
-instead of just 1 top poster, show top posters, maybe 5 or so, currently one would have to go the the members list, then clicks posts to see this info
-will be implemented if there is time.
9. Set default posting colour and font
-if you change the colour/font of your posts, it should stay as the colour you choose instead of reverting back to the default
-may proof more trouble that it worth. esp when we had the old layout. black text on black background
10. The spinning stars they do what?
-also those 4 spinning stars in the post profile, do they mean anything, i think newer member should have less, and older members should have more, i dont know maybe 1 star for every 250 posts or something like that
-they were never fully worked out have since been removed
11. Weaponised cursor -your mouse icon should be a weapon of sorts (sword or axe) from d2, or prehaps the classic gauntlet like in diablo
-coding is too much work for that.
12. Links to Guild Threads -a link on the home page directly to the information in the Silversurfnstudism thread and other guild related threads.
- Umaro: the guild is not an official part of the home page / fan site, but a seperate forum for such things is not out of the question
14. Diablo Back Story
-a link from the front page to the back story of diablo 1 and 2 i am sick of posting that the prime evils can all exist without their soulstones, baals soulstone is smashed, and the other crap that people should know, and any other point from the storyline that has a definite answer, eg tal rasha is dead, warrior/rogue/sorcerer from diablo are all dead
Umaro: When the new layout is finished we will add it with game related content such as this.
15. Soundtrack in the background -not really sure if this can be done, but would be nice, to have the diablo 2 soundtrack play in the background of this site, and of course you can turn it off if you want
-bandwidth will be a killer
Umaro: sound on a web page is a big no no =)
16. Contact us link not working
-Not sure if its just me, but the 'contact us' page at the bottom of the home page doesnt work, it really should, i get that you would get hounded by crap emails but prehaps it could go to a page similar tothe members list, but it only shows admins and mods so people can see who is who and PM them. or would we all get hounded?
17. how to post Pics or make sigs/avatars
-not sure if it exists, a link from the home page detailing how to submit pics in posts, create signatures, put a pic under your accountname in your post profile (i get tired of people asking), or alternatively put this info in the FAQ.
i (or someone else) will make the thread (and sticky it) if you want to make it so its in the FAQ or whatever that would be great
When we do a forum overhaul we can add nice links to this.
18. Incentive to stay as active as possible
-not sure how successful this would be, but some kind of incentive to stay active, other websites have points that count towards downloads you cant get anywhere else, its really annoying to see that out of the 2000 accounts on 500 are active and around 20 or so of that 500 post on a regular basis, now i know people can post everyday like some of us can, but it does seem like a waste to create an account then never use it.
DeMiNe0: I'm going to talk to umaro about an absence profit sharing system for active posters. This is completely up to him though.
-if you could that would be great
Umaro: One, we will most likely be removing adsense from the entire site, second, the forums will probably have zero ads, third its a lot of extra coding and those programs almost never generate more then a couple cents for its members. Diablo3.com will think of other ways to repay its loyal fans.
19. Promotion to admin
-also it seems a lot of people are quite fond of the idea of Sliversurfnstud and i (elfen lied) to be made administrators, we seem to know our stuff (but thats your guys call).
-enjoy your new ranks boys.
20. Merge Posts -the ability to merge 2 of your posts together, it should be an option not automatic like on some sites
-these feature exists but only to mods and admins, just use edit post.
21. Welcome message PM
-newcomers to this site, should either be automatically or manually(by someone) PMed a 'hello welcome to this site' message, the should include a quick rundown of the posting rules (the important ones) and the age old 'we hope you enjoy your time here' line. Ill write something up and send it to you
-change the post profile currently it looks like this
Username User title
i suggest it look like this now
Username User title group (if it applies)
It seems a waste for mods and admins to lose their post titles just because they gained some responsibility
24. ability to see who is in the chatroom
-an area that says who is in the chatroom, that way people will know if it is worth spending time trying to get in there
-cant be done, the chatroom is outside of the site the ability to show who is in there in any other way other than the online user lists cannot be done
25. Away/online settings
-a feature that allows you do set a time that you will be away, then change it back to online (similar to msn) seeing as accounts cant be deleted
-cant be done
24. Flash game
-would be cool to have a macromedia flash rpg game of some kind on here. (bandwidth allowing)
-a bit of a luxury we dont really need
25. inabilty to read text when deleting posts if not a mod or admin
-the yellow text that is seen when you go to delete a post, needs to be change to a colour that shows up better on a white background
-taken care of
26. Evidence Page
-a dedicated link from the home page to all the evidence that diablo 3 is in the pipeline
-taken care of.
it has since been removed, but prehaps it could be brought back
27. Help Section
an area like general, diablo 3 chat, called Help and support, here new comers can posts their questions about the site, and other people can post questions about the games
-an area like general, diablo 3 chat, for games that arent specifically covered by other areas of this site. this area is for non blizzard games
-if the site grows in numbers look toward this happening
29. Animated links on home page
-the links at the top of the page could look like they are on fire when you mouse over them, instead of just becoming underlined
Umaro: that is not exactly great design... but you will be happy with our new layout
30. Time Zones
an area which displays what the time is for the country where a member of this site comes from.(bandwith allowing) it would be nice to know what the time is where your friend/s from this site is so you could organise stuff
coding is too much to do
31. slight alteration to a forum's name
remove the extra 'r' in polls and surverys. it should read polls and surveys
taken care of
32. Item request/trading
Not sure if this can be done but an secure area where people can request items, and trade items
Not sure if this can be done, but in the Silversurfnstudism Thread, there are several small Biographies for the Followers of Silver. The question here is would an area for people to post similar Biographies be too hard to create. I know there is an area on the Profile for Biographies but it is fairly small, and the Biographies i am talking about are bigger than what the Profile Biographies can contain.
-possible, but other aspects of the site are more important at this stage
34. Quote of the Day
a box on the home page contain quotes from characters from diablo 1 and 2, that changes on a regular basis, ie by the hour, day or week.
-Umaro: I could possibly add something like this, but its not on the top of the list

On PO forums we had the bot problem for a really long time. Finally, the devs pretty much stopped the trend. What they did is restrict a user without posts to post a hyperlink in his first message... since 99.9% of bots use a url in their message, they die out... The devs did say that they also "updated the protection", but I don't think that is the real reason, they said that before, and bots just kept coming.
ill talk to Umaro or he can check out this thread next time he comes here, he usually does.

In order to organize information about Diablo 3, as well as background from diablo 1 and 2, you could implement a wikipage. You can make it so that only approved members can update the wikipedia, in order to make sure that quality information is entered. I believe there are vBulletin mods for that. Perhaps a PHPNuke format could be used. That way you can combine the homepage and forum into one, making everything accessible through links, no matter what page you're on.
