Thread: Everyone, take 5 minutes to read this please

I apologize for making a thread that some would consider a 'boring 'I'm back' thread,' but this has to be done for my own purposes.

A friend of mine was bored on AIM yesterday and asked if I wanted anything made(photoshop) so I said a sig much like my old d2s sig. I went to look for my old sig because it got deleted somehow from the forum site change. I couldn't find it...but what I did find were hundreds...maybe thousands of memories. It is safe to say that I almost cried.

I remember celebrating my 12, 13, and 14th birthdays on these forums...and now that it comes time for number 15..it just doesn't feel the same.

Does anyone remember the 1.10 patch? I do. I remember everyone around in .9 and before. I remember everyone being nice(genrally) and considerate. This forum had few members then, but we were such a tight knit family...I am absolutely positive that all of us know some strange detail about the other(for the old timers) after 1.10 patch slowly but surely the considerate people stopped playing. Pretty soon channels were filled with spammers, games were filled with hackers and websites were all scammers.

What happened to this site at that point was crucial. The old members stopped posting. and new members started. we(the old people) tried to keep up with 20 new members a day but eventually our 'tight knit' family became all of us just trying to be heard(that was it in my case anyways) over all of the new people who fit in so well...there were just so many.

there have been numerous generations of d2sector, from the beginning to now(it isn't even d2s anymore) we have all found a friend or two on this website. Probably the two worst things that can happen to a gamer is to lose touch with his gaming friends, and when a MMO shuts down(asherons call 2)

To me, and to many of us, that has happened with diablo. We stopped posting and diablos community went to crap...causing (to us) a 'shutodown' and losing touch*

I now play warcraft and maple story...but it isn't the same. Nothing will/can ever replace the void in my heart where Diablo 2 (no matter how bad I wa) held and that the friends/family I had on this forum is.

I thought alot of posting this yesterday, because it might mean a final post from a crazy veteran(war veteran if you consider the traine crash and skyes D2s era) but to me it had to be done or I wouldnt be able to sleep until I did.

Please, mods, don't close, let this thread do what it needs to do for me. I hope someone can learn something from a 15 year olds ramblings.

I also know this feeling too (in many situations), I used to really be into Runescape, always used to play. Then I came across a Forum like this one, with Runescape Private servers, runescape help, all the usefully stuff like that. I got along well with everyone was there for atleast a year, then gained modness (was happy), and like you said the whole 2k members that joined was like one big family, untill the forum got a really bad person who changed the whole forum, I forget his name, but he was a ****, and he was out for me because I banned him for scamming some 11 year old. Well Jagex finally sued us forcing to shut down the fourm, so we did. The owner brought it back up, but it wasn't the same, I didn't have mod anymore because of the goof that got me demodded because I banned him, and I Slipped slowly and slowly away from that forum, and I went back to it yesterday, and It wasn't the same, seeing all the old posts I had posted, and all the stuff... I miss that forum, the people on it now are just losers. Like the owners.

Same with this, I used to be a really big chatter, used to use chat rooms and such, when I came across Ares chat and joined in, got amazingly along with others, Got modded once again, then the owner got fed up closed it once, then opened again, got fed up again, closed again, then it was down for like a year, and I just recently found out about it again on monday, but like The runescape forum, it's never the same as the 1st time you were there, no matter what you do, Communities like that, always get courpted. Meh, what can you do?

Life is a *****, but it also goes on...
