Honestly this is so true. I think you should post this website on EVERY diablo subreddit and forum:

-Main blizzard forums. I was thinking of posting your site there right now, but figured i should ask for permission. May I advertise for you there?
-Reddit has 3 different diablo subreddits. Diablo, Diablo2 and Diablo 2 resurrected.
-D2jsp (ya ya i know, but the site is blowing up even more)
-Diablofans (pretty dead, but my threads still get thousands of views in a week there)

Oh ok awesome. I just saw your thread in the main blizzard forums and liked it .

What about D2jsp though? I could post it if you don't want to, lots of trolls in there. lol. But im confident it will really help for those who appreciate what Teebling and you guys have done here.

Imma leave that one for @Teebling to answer.
I'm a little biased regarding D2JSP.

Hello guys,

Wow. I don't think any of us expected the site to blow up like it did after posting to the /r/Diablo subreddit yesterday. The number of registered users actually doubled overnight, and the number of visits yesterday was something like 5-6k. Unbelievable and unprecedented for our little corner of the D2 community.

I've been working on d2io for over 1.5 years now, so to see this amount of interest, support, and good will is really a joy. To be honest I was starting to lose Faith a little bit - a few individuals last week inexplicably began putting the site down and spreading misinformation about it on various public forums, and it was starting to make me feel pretty bad.

Today? I feel totally different. I feel vindicated - I'm filled with Pride for all of the contributors that have been diligently chipping away at the DB entry data, and I have new hope for the site, and a firm belief that now we can all really can help Resurrected players, and give people that feeling of nostalgia that goes hand in hand with a truly great game like Diablo 2.

So, I wanted to say - thank you everyone who joined yesterday and immediately began posting to the forums, reporting bugs, and suggesting tweaks in the Feedback forum. I've even had a few description suggestions and a lot of very kind comments about the site in general. This is the encouragement I think the guys here needed - to see all of this coming to a larger and more receptive audience.

The vision for this site was always the same: to give the community a place where they could contribute their collective Wisdom about this crazy game, and be rewarded and celebrated for doing so. To give you all an opportunity to add your knowledge, your experience, your weird and wonderful tips that match the game's quirkiness and ability to surprise.

SO. Let's continue with that guys - this is a call to action for all of you really whilst I have your attention. If you want to see d2io succeed and grow - check out - where you'll find instructions on things you can do that truly benefit the database and community here.

Every description added, every image uploaded, every comment posted, every forum guide written, every reply, every share, every mention in the wild... every single action like this, no matter how small, counts.

Ten years of trying (and failing) to make a strong Diablo community has taught me one thing: that momentum is everything. Sure, the site got a boost yesterday, and a lot of resourceful and talented people joined - but that means nothing unless we carry through on it!

I'm currently abroad taking my first holiday in a long time, so I won't be able to respond to bug fixes immediately, or to answer all of your posts as quickly as I'd usually like to, until I return in a week's time.

Until then, thank you all once again for your kind words, wishes, and positive energy for d2io. Made it all worthwhile in the end for me personally and you guys can't possibly fathom how much this place means to me :,) Can't wait to get back and attack some bugs lol.
