Look at me, necroing an old thread.

We forgive you because

@Nevalistis

it’s most relevant here

@Nevalistis

the old forums are officially coming offline today

Thanks for the heads-up.  

I’ve linked to some of them. I guess I’ll find them and correct them soon enough.

What about the people who already have given good ideas for Diablo 4? No one from Blizzard team wont even read these because we will get a new forum?

We already have the new forums. You’re in them right now. It’s the old, archived, read-only D3 Forums that are being taken offline.

Ohh, thanks for your answer!

As it’s most relevant here, the old forums are officially coming offline today to maintain our ongoing compliance with GDPR and other online regulations. We’ve been closely monitoring traffic to the old forums and many, if not all, of the threads most commonly being visited have been moved or recreated by the community here.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we’ve worked to keep our digital spaces “up to code,” so to speak. Happy New Year, everyone!

That means we have lost that epic 31 page thread on “Nephalem Glory is Holding Us Back” thread on the Console forums.

There was a lot of valuable information in that in which I would have loved to capture but never knew the old forums were going offline…thought they were just getting archived.

So the question is, given every post/thread on it has been ignored, is that if I recreate that thread in the new Console forums will you or Matt post in it to verify the points I make in it where I will quote from memory your original posts in that thread on the old forums?

They told us up front the forums would be archived for a time and then removed. We were told to save any posts we wanted. They did that when they announced the forum change over in a post on the old forums. It led to questions about how long the forums would be read-only before being removed. We were not given an answer about it at the time.

The next mention of it was when the comments were removed from News Blogs and we were told it was for GDPR compliance and were told the old forums would also be going away soon. All of them, not just D3. It impacted all games.

Why do CM's only reply to basic threads & never reply to offline/trading threads?

Actually, this is because comments have been disabled across all blogs on the Diablo III community site in order to comply with GDPR. The comment system on blogs functioned off of our old forum system software, which was not GDPR friendly. In order to remain compliant, we had to disable them by the end of the year. This was communicated in earlier blogs, including our Season 19 preview/now live and Luis Barriga’s letter to the community, and David Kim’s missed the template memo intended to be …

Why do CM's only reply to basic threads & never reply to offline/trading threads?

Most likely, yes. I’m working on a more formal post with an actual deadline, but that takes a little back and forth communication with the appropriate teams + localization to execute. We’ve been monitoring web traffic, and most of the most popularly searched topics have already been migrated or recreated on this forum, but folks should definitely still go save anything they treasure if they haven’t done so already.

Miss Chetah…i fully accept I never read all the information about the archived old forum so indeed my fault for not capturing the information from it I wanted to maintain but I have managed to recreate the points from memory in a new post.

None of that is an issue…I would love a CM to confirm my points are accurate in where I dictate what they said and reply to the queries raised around it.
