I've been interested in Diablo III ever since its announcement, but it was hard to stay hyped before this year with the severe lack of official updates on anything. Sometimes would go months without any new news.
HOWEVER! This is no longer the case and I can practically smell the beta! I'm SO ready!
Is this Zoltrix's? There's tons of interesting little tidbits in there. I remember some members transcribing stuff for it based on scans. (Now, we have programs that can do that automatically.)
I don't think so. Considering the link in that site goes to Soloman's thread, I'd assume that site belongs to Soloman? Also, forgot Soloman even existed. Lol.

Solomir I think. I remember that guy was gonna make a custom rank system for the forum back when we used vBulletin. He also would ask people to transcribe manual information into type. I did a bunch of pages and turned them into him and he didn't even thank me. He was just kind of weird.
Heck, I still remember the Lets post to a Million thread! I loved that thread. Siaynoq hated it. It STILL makes me laugh my ass off thinking about SIAYNOQ'S REVENGE. It shocked the community. But, we should have really seen it coming. Siayn was so open about his hate toward that thread and others like it, we really should have seen it coming. Every now and then I have a good laugh about that.
I sure hope no one's still angry about that. But yeah I seriously had a problem with that thread and the random chat thread at the time. Mainly because people were so bored with themselves, they occupied their time on the site mostly with those two threads. So they were constantly getting bumped to the top of the list while other people who were trying to create specific topics to discuss were constantly getting overshadowed. I also think that having free reign to create content causes problems. And those two threads were examples of that freedom gone wrong. Also, it got so extremely popular with just a select few users, that if a non-engaged user wanted to get in on the conversation they'd largely be ignored. Whereas a thread with a specific topic or agenda allows people to be heard more on the basis of the relevance of what they are saying as opposed to their popularity on the site.
Those were my impressions of it anyway. I don't care so much about it now because you don't get post counts for those threads. Would I care that others get post counts for meaningless discussion? Partially. But more for the reason that it only served to undermine other more meaningful threads. To much inane bullshit really can alienate some users from others and drive away others who are looking for a place to have more pertinent conversation.
All of this I already explained before, but I think the logic at the time was since those threads were so popular, that was the kind of stuff generating hits for the site. But now with D3 announced and possibly coming out this year, people actually have more to discuss now instead of focusing on whether Reptar is bigger than a blue whale.
There was no discussing it, Reptar is larger than a blue whale.

You're so lazy when you use the quote function. You've been around long enough to know you could've just taken that single line about Reptar as the quote. But nooooooooo, you had to use up my entire screen just to retort! For shame....
At any rate, that would still make the blue whale the second largest organism on Earth to have ever lived.
LMAO. You're right. Normally, I would have. Must have just slipped my mind. At any rate, where are your super long posts you used to make?

Over 4+ years, some people have probably gotten mortgages and started popping out babies. Now the loan-sharks coming and they have to sell their babies teeth (wtf?)
One of the main reasons I came here was to read the length philosophy threads. Which really, come to think of it wasn't actually philosophy. It was just Atheist v Religion flame threads.
We had some good philosophy threads... though come to think of it that was before even you joined
And did you know you're the only one who registered a wiki account before me?

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.
Seriously? I'm certain my posts average to at least a few paragraphs. When I do make really long posts though I know no one ever reads them.
Haha, well, your posts were once REALLY long. And no, I think a lot of people read them. I know I did. However, I usually wouldn't respond, or only make a general response to the entire post. As my laziness has shown, I'm not one for breaking up posts and replying to them one sentence at a time.

Wasn't there another site that this forum was on before Diablo3.com? Back in, like, '05 or '04 or something?
As for the super long posts, I always liked reading them Siaynoq. I always felt longer posts (from anybody) were better. (Unless they were of low quality. Then they were not better.)

I remember teleporting around the acts and taking screen-shots of random trees and vegetation in Sanctuary - uploading those. :o. What a great contribution I made!
I see the wiki now... Its looking like a masterpiece of information. Much better than the other two main competitions.
Except when I search for Diablo wiki in google I get the Diablo WikiA and the Diablowiki.net sites before this one. Stupid search engines.
Diablowikia is blasphemy... It has adverts for D2legit on the homepage! Openly promoting the use of botting, duping and item selling.
HOWEVER! This is no longer the case and I can practically smell the beta! I'm SO ready!

Siaynoq's Playthroughs
But I still want it.
Siaynoq's Playthroughs
Also, I saw Zoltrix on Xbox the other day.
So many memories in this thread!
LOL

Nah, it was Solomir like Siya pointed out.
I'm fairly certain Siya still has the highest paragraph/post ratio this year.

Goddamn, I said Soloman instead of Solomir. >.<
