I have been a part of this community for three years now. I have gotten to know many of you and consider you friends. There's something about this hodgepodge of individuals from around the world that was brought together in this place that is uncanny. I don't hesitate to say that Offtopic is truly a family. A crazy, dysfunctional family, but a family nonetheless.
To those of you who will be forced out by Bungie's new site restrictions tomorrow, I wish you the best out in the real world. Perhaps our paths will cross again, perhaps not. Thanks for being awesome. I am proud to have been a part of the ride.

The mentality behind this decision is that the forums are to blame for D2 playerbase dying and falling away. Bungie should take the blame (especially Luke Smith) and quit trying to point the finger at these forums.
