DiabloFans.com Forum Consolidation!

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.

They are quite sexy. If anyone can't see them, you'll have to refresh your page a few times. Careful, though, what you see may be shocking...

I was worried you didn't include a "closed thread" icon, but you did. Nice work.

More forums are not the answer, man! It just takes more clicking to find an interesting thread. I think they should just be lumped together per game, plus one for technical and one for off-topic. That way, ideas are less likely to repeated, thoughts are shared more freely, and discussion will thrive!

Personally, I like forum consolidation and a general evolution to things.

"Diablo" is constantly evolving and the forums need to change with time.

Shows that diablofans.com is responsive. A continuous evolution of the site keeps the site up to date and relevant.

Bwahahaha, I got higher than you

Because of your endless flow of spam posts, yes :/.

Anywho, why is the off-topic (spam) forum counting for posts now?
This is.. just odd :/.

... Sorry :(.
Got tired of Zhar, and wanted to use my Steam username.
So, now I'm Fuzojix..
Siggy is staying as is, though.

Anyways, as a last ditch effort to stay on topic..

I REALLY do not like this forum reorginization.
We have NO place designated for random forum shenanigans now, we need a spam forum, else this entire forum becomes a serious discussion, devoid of any random fun.

I'm quite close to grabbing my torch and pitchfork, and rioting.

Oi, take the spam/offtopic to the Offtopic section. Jeez. Just because we redefine spam and make chatting allowed doesn't mean Offtopic outside the subforum is okay now.

So stay on topic.

Yeah I really love the new buttons, I hope they update some other stuff as well. To give it all the same fluent theme.

I love the buttons, but still despise the new layout of the off-topic forum.
And it really shouldn't count for posts...
Wonder what Kenzai is up to, now.

They want it to be one big community not posts counting here and not counting there. Any discussion is healthy discussion I guess.

Other rules still apply though, offtopic, etc etc.

But... there are so many spam, double, even triple posts that occur within that forum.
Even posts that have absolutely no meaning.

I don't mean to be a nay-sayer, but it's pretty ridiculous when people that barely contribute anything to actual discussions have massive post counts.

It just... boggles my mind :/.

Well then people need to be reporting the double posts more, those have ALWAYS been against the rules. Also nonsensical combinations of letters or words are against the rules also.

Discussion is fine, nonsense is not. Discussing nonsense is fine.

That's all I can really offer you. That's just how it is now.

Still missing PvM and PvP subforum for Diablo 2 forum.
You wanna bring the community together then give them the tools to do so, right now you have just Diablo 2 forum which is cluttered with builds , lore, help questions.

I'll make a staff thread. I'll get back to you when something final is reached.

I was sure I would at least have over 1000. Its not fair because I wasn't one of the ones with thousands of posts in the million thread like other people.
