Deciding to close DiabloFans, along with a handful of other community websites, wasn’t an easy decision for our company, but we could no longer justify the substantial engineering resources it took to run the properties. It was a sad day in our office when we announced the sunsetting of many beloved sites.
Previously, we weren’t able to entertain selling the sites because they were built on a proprietary platform. It would be a monumental task for an external engineering team to maintain or migrate the communities. Knowing this, we announced the site closures, but just as the sun slowly began to set for these properties, a figure appeared . . .
As of this week, we’ve identified a company with the necessary experience to buy and run these sites (including DiabloFans), so that the passionate communities will continue to have homes on these long-standing sites. With this, we have started to transfer the sites to Magic Find. As for the staff on these sites, it will be up to them and Magic Find to decide how they’d like to move forward.
This isn’t the end for DiabloFans. It’s a new and exciting beginning. We wish Magic Find the best as we say goodbye to several of the properties that helped our company grow into what it is today.
This will be the last update from Curse/Fandom. All future communications will be from the new site owner.
YAY
May I dare say.... HYPE? Something was missing. Welcome back, Diablofans!
Now only Diablo 4 and we are set
It's happening!
Glad to see you back! I was missing this site
Miss Dfans so much man, amazing news!
ok
This is great news!
The name of the company buying you guys out, just fits perfectly with DiabloFans.
Lets hope it all goes great and the site keeps running like it's meant to run!
woot!
I suspect we will see a radical site design change, namely because this is the Curse format and Curse is no longer involved in any of the sites.
Also spread the word that Dfans is back!
Thank You new owner your awesome!
Sounds good though
!
I want my job back!
So glad were back!
Brilliant news
Aw, Heck yeah!
Feel like my favourite dead hc character just got resurrected
Considering all the crap Curse and Magic Find pulled on the former Hearthpwn team, you might want to think twice if this is actually good news....

Yes!!!! Very exciting to have the site back!
Yes, some people got the short end of the stick on this one, I have worked here for over 12 years now, I have seen people come and go, they start new projects, that either become successful or teeter off, but one thing I have learned is that owners or staff aren't what makes a site successful, it is the community, a site will fail if there isn't a loyal population, and not to the staff, but to each other.
I know this may sound corny but it is 100% true, without you guys out there interacting with each other the builds would never get made, the forums would be empty, and the stories would be non existent.
DFANS was dead, not ever coming back, I lost hope, was even trying to find a home on one of the other sites, but Magic Find went out of their way to acquire the sites that Fandom shut down, so you guys could stay together! how awesome is that? So don't let the few bad cases ruin the way you feel about the site.
