...the forces of evil coalesce, hidden from view. They scheme and plot the fate of humanity from within the shadows. Whispers of terror creep across the land. The wind brings forth screams which dissipate into the night air, but linger on in nightmares. Something wicked stirs once again in the bowels of the old chuch in Tristram....something ancient .. something sinister. I come to you in this late hour, Diablofans, to lend my sword in the fight for Sanctuary. If I fall, my immortal soul will rest easy knowing that I fell while fighting alongside champions of the light."
Hello!
I am Imposter, lurker extraordinaire. Been coming here for a loooong time. Feels good to surface and participate in the community.
A little bit about myself - I am in the process of starting Graduate School. I wish to study Public Health, and work with issues that surround populations displaced by conflict or natural disasters. I am heavily interested in working with HIV/AIDS awareness as well, especially abroad. I am currently studying for the GRE exam. Accordingly, you might catch me indulging in "unfettered grandiloquence" every now and then. It's my way of enriching my vocabulary .. don't wanna come off as a snooty "pedant."
I will confess, I am a Lore Fiend. I love navigating through the nooks and crannies of the Diablo universe, getting caught up in plots, and subplots, and characters, and cultures, religions, architecture, etc. The world is so rich and vibrant. I'm terribly excited with the prospect of the conclusion of the main story arc, and all that will reveal. I look forward to sharing if I find anythiing compelling. You can definately count on seeing a few lore-related threads from me.
On an ending note, I always admired the camaraderie that Diablofans.com created within the community. It is a collective achievement of all members who frequent here. I hope to post in that same spirit.
On all points, everyone of them is welcome here. I hope you can stick around for a good, long time, since you look like a very promising member
We also might get a fan fiction forum going here soon- You should consider puting your eloquent, verbose, and avant-garde writing style to use therein. Or maybe start your blog or some such using our blogging features here on the site. I enjoy reading creatively-worded and unique writings
PlugY for Diablo II allows you to reset skills and stats, transfer items between characters in singleplayer, obtain all ladder runewords and do all Uberquests while offline. It is the only way to do all of the above. Please use it.
Supporting big shoulderpads and flashy armor since 2004.
To go on another track then the previous welcome'ers, I am glad that more people are studying HIV/AIDS. I recently had someone refer to it as GRIDS. Needless to say, it shocked me to the point where I couldn't even talk. Yes, I, LinkX, could not talk, that was how shocked I was. And that he honestly believed it, at that!
But you probably don't want to be bored by me, so I'll end this post with this: DON'T BECOME A STATISTIC! KEEP POSTING!
Give, expecting nothing thereof. ------------ BoD - Come have some fun! Folks will always come and go, so enjoy them while they're meant to be in your life.
My exam is this Sunday, so I barely have time to post till thats done.
@PHrozenDragon : yup thats been my favortie place to lurk
@LinkX It is sad soemtimes when you're made aware of peoples' relative low amount of knowledge regarding AIDS. But thats what it's all about - to educate and to inform. You could end up saving someone's life. I was aware of AIDS at a basic level, but my knowledge increased ten-fold after I started working in a HIV/AIDS Non-profit. Interacting with clients broek through any pre-notions. I would recommend anyone to go volunteer with HIV/AIDS causes (only if you're comfortable ofcourse), it can be an eye-opening, and life-altering experience.
To everyone else, thank you for your welcoming words

See you around!
@Lore: We all enjoy this!
@camaraderie: I'm not sure what this means! (lol)
Welcome to the forums!
Thank you for the welcome!
Camaraderie - It means a spirit of good fellowship, congeneality, comradeship.

Thanks for the welcome guys!
And, as to not break with tradition, I now have to finish this post with a short welcoming phrase. So welcome!
