I am StoneOld (x2), StoneCold, and OldPro. You folks can call me Mike if you like.
Well, after two years, four accounts (all of which I still play) nearly 15,000 posts, too many suspensions for ridiculous reasons, and being harassed, insulted, intimidated, trolled, and flamed by the same people I've reported hundreds of times, I'm done with the official Diablo 3 forums.
But there are a lot of topics that I would like to continue to discuss - I suppose I should say start to discuss - on this forum. I understand I'm not supposed to speak badly of any group, but it seems to me, in general, the IQ on the Diablo 3 official forums is hardly higher than my shoe size. I've heard many good things about the heightened levels of discussion on this forum, so I ask your indulgence in this one and only post I will make that speaks badly of group of people.
In the next few days, you folks may see a lot of posts from me about many various topics. It's not that I decide to show up and start spamming everything, I just want to get these discussions out there to see what kinds of thoughts you folks have on them.
I understand that not being the Diablo 3 official forums, one can't post with the expectation that the developers will read it, therefore if any of my posts contain suggestions on how game mechanisms should be changed, I'm merely looking for consensus, or opposition in the form of friendly debate.
I look forward to discussing all aspects of Diablo 3 with all of you.
Hey there Stone. I actually walked away from Bnet forums a few weeks ago. I'm sure you remember me [BurningRope].
Just couldn't take the constant storm of negativity, insults, judgmental bullshit.....it really is a terrible place that will put you in a bad mood just being there.
You'll enjoy it much more here, I assure you of that. After that captcha nonsense, my opinion of the Bnet Forum Team went down to absolute zero. They trash their own forum for many of the users, and they couldn't even be bothered to say 1 word about it for a month.
So I hate the people there and I hate the forum team, two reasons to never go back to that fucking open sewer. If I had button on my wall that would crash their server for the whole day, I swear, I would wake up each morning and push it 'til it broke.
I look forward to shooting the shit with another old guy (you). Get comfy and make yourself at home. Alos, make sure to call the mods here "dipshits" every time you have a chance. They love it and they think it's super funny.
By the way, your signature block advertises, "message your battletag if you need some help in diablo. free t6 or trials."
"Free," as opposed to what - charging something for the service, which is illegal both in the game and to talk about on this forum? I suggest you remove that word from your signature block.
He meant free as in he doesn't ask for blues or whatever - which is legal.

Not so much "bitter". I'm more upset with myself for staying around there so long. I told myself to just stop going there, but then I'd see some post from some random retarded person and there I was...... actually trying to be the smartest kid in a special needs class. Not that Bnet doesn't have plenty of intelligent, funny, awesome posters. It's just that they are wholly drowned out by the children, my god the fucking children.
Dfans is well moderated, has a more positive membership and people don't come here specifically to have fun cursing out a major corporation like they do @Bnet. Though you will see a few people from time to time drip down here from Bnet and try the same stunts. They don't last long.

I understand. I would do the same thing...Well, they deleted my "Goodbye Cruel World" farewell post...lol...so that's it.

Gotcha. Good hunting!
Thanks...I did not know the D3 forums existed for the first 10 months I owned the game, so maybe most others will be as fortunate as me...lol
