I hope your no insinuating the novel is a secret. Because it isn't. It's already in it's 3rd chapter here. View the clan section.
Honestly, I think as far as modding goes, you're doing your job, mods, but maybe a bit too well for the members liking.
As for forum suckage, well, it does.
Thanks. Even though I haven’t actually done much lately. And yeh been rather slow, round here lately.
That's your opinion on how you define flaming. Both were constructive posters. I think of flaming as "You're a faggot" "You have no life" "You have no gf". You know, the empty insults that no one takes serious. Muttonchops always had a mocking tone about him, with the intent of pointing out someones incompetence.
In case people hadn’t notice, most of the mods actually like how Mutton flamed. It was always well thought out and well constructed. At times it didn’t seem like flame, at least not like the usual crap that gets you banned.
Its almost like a new era is dawning here at this forum. I imagine it like a phoenix, it must burn to ashes before it rises up anew.
You could also use the line from Batman Begins; When a forest grows too wild, a purging fire is inevitable and natural.
From the ashes sprouts new live.

-Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.
Give, expecting nothing thereof. ------------ BoD - Come have some fun! Folks will always come and go, so enjoy them while they're meant to be in your life.
Hate them all you want, I got some pretty juicy ones.
I just remembered the Christmas gift you gave me. Do you remember it?

yeah idk about all these woes... i mean i check the forums just as often, but the spark that was there when i first got here isn't really there. or maybe its just a different spark. but whatever, i'll be here for a while. i think its just one of those times...
One more thing, we don't need mods, this forum isn't company controlled and should be free of PC BS, flame on.
Are you serious? Every forum needs a moderator. Who would delete the spam bots? Trust me, when you see some kid spamming every single thread with "DIABLO II SUCKSSSSS". You'll be saying, "God this forum needs a moderator, I wish that kid would get banned". It's just about the selection of moderators. We just happen to have a couple questionable ones. I don't think that's what is downgrading the forum. Honestly, I think in the last month it has been less moderated, so I don't think anyone's doing that bad of a job anymore. We're all here in appreciation of a game that's about a decade old. Of course you're eventually going to lose some interest.
This the only forum I've ever come across where so many people have invested this much effort into. I mean alot of these posters have become really good friends. I think that's really neat. When you have such a strong community, it will definitely pick up again.

Worlds longest blog.
Lol you should read my posts at times.
And yes, this forum is really strong. I don't often visit other forums, so I have no other real basis to contrast and compare. I think the moderation has become better as there is not as much invasion on what the users do. It was awesome when we had no moderation, save for all the porn and threads made by spam bots. Then they bring in new people to clean this place up, and all that really needs cleaning is porn and spam threads made by bots or new users. Established users don't do that crap, they just flame and fight with each other. Why change that? A little bickering and words thrown keeps this place even a little more interesting for others to come read.
Stop trying to be the hardass cop that throws tickets for every damn little thing, and only go after what actually hurts the forum. Spambots, and advertisement threads.
Well I try to keep myself settle when I speak of the moderators. I agree with what you're saying though. I think it should be LESS moderated, of course SOME is necessary. I use to bitch on www.starcrafttwo.com about this forum because it seemed like there were 10 threads covering the same topic all the time. "Diablo, Warcraft movie". So I think in those cases we need a moderator that can identify what spam is, or what flame is. I don't agree with "You have no life, faggot" as something that should be acceptable in a forum. Everything BUT that should be free to say.
I just think Equinox in particular has a very strict definition of flame and spam. Anyways, I'm sort of rambling off in different directions. Less moderated, but some moderation. That's my motto.

Well, I was the same but I don't care anymore. That, and I've established a reputation for standing for something I believe in. If I'm banned, what do I care? This forum loses one of its big supporters, and with him goes more. Maybe things actually have to get that bad before this place changes. I don't know what'll happen later, what I do know though is that it will get rough again, and action will have to be taken, either by them, or by me.
But thats a discussion I don't want to get into. And yes, less moderation of users, but maintain moderation. And I don't agree with you on the flame thing. If someone uses something like that, they are very deserving of a punishing for public enjoyment.

Fuck you, I'm a dragon.
Pretty much. I'm gonna take a week off of work whenever Diablo 3 comes out, and I'll be playing that nonstop.

And what does "I want D3 to be like Oblivion" has to do with moderation is beyond me. How can moderation affect WHAT is being discussed?
