And not one denial of Blizzard overtaking this site. The only real clue is Umaro bitching about someone else bitching about having to wait so long for information. He says he gets the information a month before everyone does. While a domain transfer automatically points to the game being developed, it's nothing worth counting down for 14 days.

Why did they say the website might crash then?

I would like to take this time to remind everyone that Diablo3.com has its very own IRC channel on the irc.gamesurge.net network. The channel is #diablo3 . It would be a good idea to drop by and learn how to get to the channel in case the web site ever goes down... like... if... 200 gaming web sites suddenly linked to diablo3.com and 200 thousand visitors made our servers crash.
blizzard would most likely upgrade the hosting to something better
I agree with some people here that the most likely thing to happen is blizzard getting (whether buying or demanding) the rights of diablo3.com. I mean look at their other 2 franchises: www.worldofwarcraft.com , and www.starcraft2.com . Wouldn't it seem obvious that they would want www.diablo3.com too? Also, it could (although this is starting to get far fetched) end up not just being a dead domain. Maybe they have a whole site templet already worked out, and we come here on may 1st with something similar to www.starcraft2.com. That WOULD be worthy of a countdown, because it would probably come with a teaser, information, news ect. Far fetched but I can hope. However blizzard getting the rights to the domain hasn't been ruled out by MD (as it isn't a site merging, just changing ownership).
This is the first time I'm not gonna look back 10 pages and read everything I missed, but I do want to bring something to attention. I remember a few of us were discussing what we thought that image was in the middle of the banner.
Well incase anybody still cares about it, a simply just typed in "tyrael" in google image, and found this:
Judge for yourselves, but that looks like the picture in the middle of the banner to me.
Yep, pretty good chance it is Tyrael in the banner then :). Page 155 has something similar, this time it probably would have been good to go back 10 pages lol.
Ok so MD did not say it directly, but I can trust Jetrall, he has been an honest member for a long time.
Not to affirm or dis-affirm either of the two theories you're talking about, but there is a difference between a network merger and a Blizzard takeover... Just sayin'. lol
I read through the first 14 pages of this thread:

if blizzard buys this domain then we wouldn't need to worry about this website crashing.
Sheer influx of people wanting to see what the announcement will be.
And as to a previous question, Paul Sams said at Blizzcon '07 that they have no plans to port Diablo II to console.

So...that's solved I think.
