Well, I'll just try to keep my answers fairly short and do the point. Thanks a lot for the compliments, but I won't include them in the post, unless you want to sit up all night reading it. :D

// Actually, I started a section with guides at the zelaron.com portal, but there aren't enough of them there. The portal just isn't finished, because I've had a hard time deciding what kind of content it should have.

// Also, we did advertise at Somethingawful once (probably the reason why we have so many insane people in the chat/flame forum), but quite frankly, advertising like that doesn't really work well. Search engine ranks are always good, but telling some friends would also be ideal. I just don't know yet.


// If you're talking about a link in the bottom of the forum index (forumhome), then I can't say I like the idea completely. Shouldn't it usually take longer to scroll by the D2 forum, all the way down to the bottom? Actually, I do have a plan for simplicity, but I can't reveal it just yet.

// About the Breakout game, I can't fix the music, because I'm not the game author, so therefore, I can't edit the .swf files. The best thing I can offer you is an oppertunity to turn your volume down :D


// That's not really a huge change, I'll deal with it once I've decided what kind of new portal content should be added. Besides, I'm starting to find the affiliate section quite useless. So far, I haven't really heard about anyone coming to the site that way. Taco's site is pretty decent though, but most of the sites aren't.


// That sounds like a job for the forum moderators, and/or members. Anyone can contribute, it just takes a while to get people started at times.


// We DO have an IRC chat, but right now, it's only forwarding to another server, which has been taken out. I'm looking for a better one, and I can just say that Quakenet and ETG haven't been very good. Undernet isn't very easy to find a working channel on, but in time, we might start our own IRC network. However, our bandwidth is a bit limited right now though, so that will be an idea for later.

// User stats? As in, your own post count and so on? Feel free to PM me more in detail. Besides, the "forumjump" is usually a resource hog and a pain, it keeps doing some odd things, but it's a bug in vBulletin. Version 3.0 should be released in less than a month (if I can beleive the hype), and hopefully, that should take care of it.


// Well, more programmer interaction isn't really a solution to the problem. What would make programmers join this board? They don't come out of nowhere. :)

// Correct me if I'm wrong, but the XBOX game cracking sounds highly illegal. Warez are beyond our policy, but game hacks are still all right, as long as they are not harmful to the user(s). Blizzard most likely knows about the site, but there are lots of Diablo II cheat/hacking sites, so they don't deal with them all. The only legal case so far (which Blizzard lost) was against the author of BNETD, the emulated Battle.Net.


// Frames are the nemesis of web designers. I would rather add a small menu object that follows the user all the way down, which expands upon clicking.

The Frames with the jump idea I like and add a lil music like hellmonkeys~~~like diff music files and an off button of course since at times those are needed



Nontheless this sites still pwns all

Yeah add some music. Not huge files, but just some midi's or something. I have a few good ones if ya want them.

Heh, music would be alright, but like one poster said, make sure it has an option to listen to it, because half the time I'm on this forum, I'm at work, and that wouldn't be good to have music for me then!! :)

Also, you said about my ideas that the moderators would need to do that and take the time to make up those studies and what not... well, how should I go about taking care of them doing it? Should I PM them all that post and see what they say, or will you say something...?

Thanks

I've never been much of a board reader/poster myself. I usually average about 10 posts a month or so everywhere else I've gone. So, I think i'm doing pretty well on this one. I think it's because I like the company not so many flames or down right assholish posts.

Better newb help is always needed, I still don't see how people mess up .ini files myself though, the directions are in there already and make sense....

Possibly add a few lil things under a persons avatar, Game/Realm they play on, or possibly have a page with statistic's of what game/realm most zelerons play? .. a Pie chart maybe.. I like Pie...

Perhaps add reasons for why some things aren't made somewhere? like a Bot FAQ page, I've been asked so many times to make a bloody script for JED that will take a friends pally, assassin, and the like through bloody hills.... One day I plan to try it.. I just need to figure out what I'm doing :)

Mainly I think there just needs to be more info pages than just the readme's that come with the diff files, though, I guess that was more of an idea for hellmonkeys site... but people coem here with questions from things they download there, so i guess that doesn't matter.

I found my way here from a friend, but didn't put him as my referal because i didn't knwo the name he used here.

I've added the realm field to the user profiles, you can all add that information via your User CP if you like.

With the Market Place forum for Diablo i think that u should have like a section where you can choose what you want for example.
The (XXX) represents the number of posts.

Unique Weapons (56)
Unique Armors (13)

once clicked on those it goes even further more in dept like

Unique armors boots (4)
Unique armors belts (7)

im not sure if ppl want this or this could be done....but that would b pretty easy to find what u actually want IMO. for the marketplace forum.

I always thought that the Horadrim Library

http://www.planetdiablo.com/library/

was a good site that still does not live up to its potential. A resource guide for items, sets, runes etc would be cool.

YA RELTACH! heh you didn't put me referal... i'm sad now ;) anyways... ya what rel said is great... i was thinking of making a JED faq... but was kinda lazy... so... heh

just want to say the forum design looks awesome!! :)

keep up the gd work!

thnx :) we're happy ur having a nice time :)

What I've liked off of www.diabloworld.com (there old site mind you, this new purple one sucks it) is there files section, here you have to find the bots thread, hellmonkey's post, his link, his annoying music page (not to be mean, but i really hate sites with music), then the correct link there. Would be so much easier for something off to the left for a quick link to things. Maybe, im not sure how vbbulletin works as well, but have all pm's and any new posts (under a user's custom favorite thread?) everything that the user wants on one page.

Now I definitly think an updated download section at the portal
linked to a sticky in the apropriate section would be one of the most usefull changes at the moment.

Well it's not the best :rolleyes:

Most helpful.

I think you should add a faq section for some programs.

I think they are very usefull. Since poeple keep asking the same questions.

Helpfull ? Have you vistied other big d2 forums ? Actually only the d2bots forums is somehow active.

more animation would be nice like music and flashy picture tings lol:D

i think we could use a chat room and a section where to download 'software' . I found this on yahoo i was looking for bot. I been to others forum and they are not that good

THIS SITE KICK ASS
