DiabloFans

The chat gem IS working as intended.

We've changed the structure of some of the forums here at DiabloFans.com! The idea is to make it easier to get to the information and forum you're looking for.

We've moved several topics that were previously spread out and in unpopular forums into the new
Off-Topic Forum. We've also added prefixes to that forum which allow you to, when making a new thread, select a prefix (Art, Movies, TV, music, Blizzard, etc.). Using prefixes will also allow you to fine tune your searches.

We've also consolidated the Diablo 3 forum and made sub-forums for each of the new Diablo 3 Classes! We hope you enjoy these changes and find the site easier to navigate as we strive to bring you the best experience possible here at the #1 source for Diablo information on the web! If you have any suggestions, please let us know.

page looks great

Well I'm one of the biggest advocates for PvP in the world - but in Diablo I don't really see a place for it. It's more of an RPG than an MMORPG and normally when I play D2 i'm content with hack slashing, taking a break, looking at my gear etc. The element of surprise or having to be on your guard all the time is something I LOVE! but don't mind that restricted to PvP heavy MMO's.

Seth always posts the hotness news doesn't he?

red outline mechanic seems cool to me.

i guess it's settled lets all go together haha

I like how you tried to just shove that in there somewhere, QQ...

Pwned. - You're it.

Thanks for the show of support Lydeck.

I'm an open book for anyone who wants to talk, so feel free to direct any questions my way.

Well we'd sure like it to be homely. There's always mixed feelings regarding a "big brother" network getting involved with a smaller fansite. The truth of the matter is fansites are expensive. I'm a gamer, my loyalties lie with the community and the games that I'm a fan of, if I ever felt something was wrong or a community was getting shafted I'd be the FIRST to step up with a big old w t somethin'.

The fact is Curse's been footing the server bill and staffing the website now for a long time. They've also spent lots of development hours and dollars on making sure the site can compete with other fansites, and in terms of community it's their #1 goal to make the site as friendly, as "homely", and as informative as possible.

There's really nothing lost by Curse involvement, and the benefits are astounding. The people put in place to work on the community are 100% tuned-in to the game (I've played 15 hours of D2 this week and it's only Friday, and Sixen's a bigger newb than I am), so it's important to me, on a personal level, that changes and additions are seen for what they really are; trying to put the best people in place for the community and the success of the fansite. This includes getting the right guides, news, and information up on the website in a timely fashion by the most passionate people possible.

I think Phrozen didn't do as good of a job explaining some of the staff losses as he could have. Most of the recent step downs were admins leaving of their own free will, and in the case of the real losses, Seth for example, it had nothing to do with Curse, and I consider me and Seth pretty good friends - he just said, as cited by his post in the mod forum, that he's just too busy to be giving the site the attention it deserves. So the timing might make it look like something else is going on, but for the most part it's business as usual, but with more plans of enhancement and more focus on the community, than ever before

great read

Looks like plenty of activity around here still. If anything I'd say there's not enough diablo focus, news, guides, content so people are looking for other ways to banter - I'll get right on that

And neither is Daemaro?
Ok, seriously, what the fuck is going on around here.

It seems like the curse network is replacing all our best admins by admins specifically chosen by the network :/.

This is actually making me consider leaving this forum as well... I mean if it's true, then fucking wow.

We haven't replaced any of these admins in question. They've posted that they're leaving (most of them have said for personal reasons, lack of time etc.)

We've hired a NEW admin who'll be making an announcement and beginning work today!
He's incredibly driven, never missed a Blizzcon, and has been involved in Diablo and Blizzard for years. You'll love him.

Anyone who has left so far has done so on their own, they have posted their reasons in the moderation forum, so far none that I have read have been because of big bad Curse.

Mockery has been replaced with Sixen, if anyone has any specific questions regarding moving forward with the site, and or which admins are leaving please just ask!

good catch haha

That video is pretty insane.

Are you dedicated enough to D3 to go at 12-1AM in the cold and wait in line for D3?

Me: Yes.

basic HTML should work - what is missin seth?
