As we both know, this community lived off of the hope D3 would become a reality - once it did everybody was thinking "now what?" I tried D3 when it first came out and was pretty disappointed... I've been thinking of trying it again because I hear the recent patches and new expansion really helped it a lot.
Anyways, I would like to become more active but mostly for just good conversation more than anything. I was part of many great discussions on these forums and would love to get into some again. Good to see you're still around Murderface! Nice hearing from you again!
Yeah. That's really how I felt and part of why I just couldn't go at it for much longer after the game release. It just wasn't Diablo to me. I played a bit after release, but I basically just play WoW now, which is a new development. I started that right after BlizzCon 2010 with Cata, quit for a while because of school and work, and came back with Pandaria and pretty much played it straight through to today. When I was younger, I relished Diablo's gameplay--I still enjoy 2, but it's just not the same now that 3 is what everyone cares about.
I started poking around here to see who's still on for pretty much the same reasons you are. Discussion and stuff. I miss you guys and the stuff we used to do.

So what do you do these days though? Going to school? Working? What do you spend your days doing?
I finished college in December, so now I'm halfheartedly looking for a job. I mostly just work part time, play WoW, and wish I had half the determination and commitment I did years ago so I could get myself out of my parents' house.
If you remember, SICK was intended to be a D3 clan when it was finally released. I'm not sure how active SICK was when Carloseus and Silver left, but the point was to stick around till D3 released so we could be "the D3 clan" lol. After the owner sold the site to Curse they got pissed off and left, and with them any hope of becoming "the D3 clan" left as well. I'm thinkingabout emailing them, but if you know how to get hold of anyone it'd be a big help. It's good to see you around though. When I look around the general forums the only familiar names I see are the staff. It makes me sad. I really miss everyone, and all their forum shenanigans.
SICK was basically dead before the takeover. Silver--who, with Elfen, were the leaders--didn't really have any affiliation with the ownership of the site. Silver just got demodded at some point over something and--as you pointed out--got angry and left. Elfen...I can't remember what happened to him. He kinda just faded away like us. I see him pop up on Skype (which used to be Windows Live Messenger, which used to be MSN Messenger, which is when I added him for staff stuff). Never talk to him.
Daemaro is on Battle.net, sometimes, and I have him on Facebook and stuff. He's still going through some tough shit.
I went back through many of my old threads last night... I was literally laughing out loud... my wife was just rolling her eyes when I told her I was reading forum threads on a video game site from years ago - it was great. I would like to see more old-timers here too and get some of the nostalgia back... [...] the General Discussion and Off Topic threads are where I personally feel a lot of the older members are going to get their fill from... and if we only have all these new threads about the game (which is cool too - we need those and if I start playing again I will definitely get in them) then where are we going to shoot the breeze, laugh, discuss philosophy and science, conspiracies, etc. ?
Yeah, I went back to some old stuff. The Ikariam threads, some old RP threads, contests, my first posts (some of which I can't actually read in entirety due to the numerous site overhauls), old news articles (all ridiculously broken now), old arguments on religion and government and god isn't it amazing how my viewpoints have all changed so much since then? I seriously credit time arguing with people here for a lot of how I see the world now. I wish more people sat around to defend their beliefs.
TBH, O/T and General forums are the only places I feel like I can sneak in now. I don't play enough Diablo 3 to really comment on classes or mechanics, and I haven't read the newer books or played the latest game so I'm behind on lore.

*squeaks with joy as he bolts in the Hole-in-the-Wall*
*drags fork in behind*
"You will rue the day you did this to me. RUE!"
*rolls for door, which opens of its own accord, followed by long peals of lightning and thunder*
"I'll be back!"
*rolls out door*
*notices Hole-in-the-Wall filling with gooey cheese*
"YOU ASSHOLE!"
*draws lightsabre*
*scuttles up to bar stool*
"Plate of lasagna, please."
*pulls twig out of no where and roasts a marshmallow*
*dons war helmet and breathes a sigh of relief*
"All's normal in the tavern, I see."
*runs for dear life to the door*
"I'm out for the day."
*exeunt*
*moonlight pours in, followed by flecks of dusty snow*
*enters, followed by twelve gerbils and a spool of thread with legs, and scurries to the Hole in the Wall*
"Carrot cake?!"
*zips to cupboard with a sack, stuffs carrot cake, oat chips, apple chips, cheese, and a bottle of beer in*
*doorbell rings*
*a hedgehog, two shrews, and an aardvark tumble in with brightly-wrapped gifts in their hands*
*looks over to door*
"Oh, over there, in the hole in the wall. Set the gifts down anywhere but don't go near the Roborovski next to the fireplace, he has mites."
*scuttles out*
"Hey Cherie, happen to have anything for a wild rodent party?"
*werehamsters silently enter, cords of Christmas lights wrapped around their mits and heads*
*opens door to private hamster abode*
"Welcome, brethren!"
*motions for werehamsters to file in to his Hole in the Wall*
*werehamsters scurry inside and close the Hole's door behind them*
*steals tree and drags it in to his hamster hole*
