Indeed. Too bad I can't ban moderators...
Of course that would have had it's repercussions once Umaro heard of it
I hope we all look back at this and laugh.

Things the May 1 Announcement are not:
1. It is not an official announcement of Diablo 3
2. It is not about an upcoming Diablo novel
3. It is not a Network merge
hmmm. the only one that has a qualifier is the first. it is not an official announcent of diablo 3. "official". the other two say categoricially what the announcement is not - it is not about an upcoming diablo novel and it is not a network merge. it could not be about these two things in any way, without qualification.
so, i guess it may be some sort of unofficial or indirect evidence that a diablo 3 announcement is eminent, maybe at the worldwide invitational. i just hope it's not more fake box art. /sigh
I have a question moderators - it was stated you think blizzard knows what you are to announce so is it something that they might not want you to announce?
Even though it's been repeatedly stated to be otherwise, at this point if the countdown didn't lead to *at least* an in-official announcement of the game most of us would be disappointed, knowing full well that it wouldn't be. Gah.
Day one's banner people will go nuts till midnight when the countdown ends to reveal .... oops. Almost got me there.
I have a new idea. Or a dream. I hope that when they ever do make D3, they add a mob named Medievaldragon so we can repeatedly farm him over and over unrelenting for toying with our fragile, noob brains.
You will see people getting excited after day 6 and day 3. The countdown will be reaching its end quietly faster.
I just thought it would be a nice touch to add Sanctuary locations for people to keep track. Some won't know the places and would go online to search info about them. Day one's banner people will go nuts till midnight when the countdown ends to reveal .... oops. Almost got me there.

It's been nearly a week the countdown started. I haven't seen any effort to stop the countdown. I don't know if you have noticed, but this countdown has caught the attention of a lot of gaming sites around the world from China and Australia to Germany, Spain, Czech, Sweden, Italy, Polony, Canada, America Latina and many more.
It is not like it is an isolated secret that hasn't reached their ears. Many Blizzard folks visit Blizzplanet often too, and there is a big countdown banner there with a loud heartbeat sound.
If we are asked to stop the countdown and the announcement, we will surely do. After all, we already made clear this is not an official announcement of the upcoming Diablo game.

Id cry if a Blizzcast was released, and they say Diablo more than 5 times.
That would be some big news... But I think many people will cry.
I said a few days ago, there won't be Diablo questions on BlizzCast 3 and probably nor BlizzCast 4. Our questions are on queue nevertheless.

What is normal? Normal is a concept that everyone or a majority of people are the same or similar. However, we know that everyone is unique. If everyone is unique, then everyone is different. If everyone is different, then everyone is weird. If everyone is weird, then everyone is normal.
it would be a good chart MD but there are no units for the y axis so you don't know if that's going up by billions or just hundreds. Maybe i missed them but i didn't see them.

Not to be a "debbie downer" but I think the hype is bigger than what will truely be revealed. Most everyone who has ties to Blizzard, or has been involved in Diablo since it's creation are not really excited about this count down. Most are saying it will be a domain transfer. Is this really that exciting? Yeah, I guess if you really need to know that Blizzard is working on Diablo 3. Most everyone is aware of it already. I would also watch out for an "April's fools" joke for May 1. The registrar information for this domain is linked to someone who is known for pulling internet pranks time and time again.

Diablo Maracas.
Its a Diablo Fiesta!
Or it could be a Collectors Drink Mixer... but that wouldnt fit with the Diablo Fiesta theme.
Eh, not really, but hey, you never know.
It's the decisions you make when you have no time to make them that define who you are.
That would be some big news... But I think many people will cry.
It will say : Your mothers bed, will be shaken!
LOL
You magnificent bastard.
Why's everyone trying to figure out wut it says for each day... is it a hint?

I think it was lyquid who gave me this link a few days ago. See how the increase of online searchs - according to google - for the keyword Diablo 3 shoot upwards the same day the countdown started.
