Are you sure? When was the last time you glanced over your shoulder? *cackle*Drinking alone again.
You want me to answer that, truthfully? (There is a more logical explanation...)Are you sure? When was the last time you glanced over your shoulder? *cackle*

I think that the main issue is that forums are an old format. Most new players are going to get info from YouTube videos, Reddit, Discord.
Gaming habits have changed too. Players mainly seem to be interested in max power builds (very evident from the direction D2R is going) and not niche builds like we enjoy here.
But we are still busy compared to other D2 forums - Amazon Basin, Planetdiablo.eu are barely seeing posts.
I blame Durf for the customs being lost. Also, WaterMoon always had cookies to welcome people, and the golem used to use the claw machine 24/7. I hope the Diablo plushies were transferred over here, but maybe they were lost in transit.
We used to be able to get 20, 30, more during special events, posts in the bar per day. Just chat, hello, spam. Even if you weren't playing D2, or really active, the number of people just posting and chatting kept the EMB going so long.
*searches for Dibble plushies behind bar*
Well, at least in my case there are a lot more real life obligations nowadays that keep me from spamming the EBM than there were 10 years ago...
Wow, funny how time goes by! That was and is indeed so - I graduated 2009 and since then have married, gotten two awesome daughters (the older one started playing D2R with me some weeks ago), changed jobs twice and been playing D2 off and on over the last 14 yearsIIRC you were in Med School the last time I was a regular at the dii.net forums. Are you now Dr. Grisu, MD?
P.P.S.: Wait, did they somehow manage to change our join dates to the original dii join date?
