Below is a link to the previous poll which was closed due to off topic posts. Because of this I ask that nobody comment on this suggestion but instead simply vote their opinion. This is a serious suggestion and spam is not welcome. It is unfortunate that I have to make this request, but I see no other way to prevent unwarranted thread closures in the future. Once again, DO NOT COMMENT ON THIS SUGGESTION, ONLY VOTE.

Below is the text of the original suggestion,


After reading several confused posts, I offered the following clarification. The D2jsp archives are classified, and I propose to unclassify and publicize them for the benefit of the community at large,


D2jsp has a long history and it would be to everyone's benefit if traders were able to access this repository of knowledge. The previous poll concluded with 10 votes in favor, 7 votes against, and one abstention. While this reflects a favorable response by a majority of voters, I would like to air the idea out further. Once again, PLEASE ONLY VOTE DO NOT COMMENT. I would not like to have another thread closed due to some user's juvenile impulse to spam.

I also ask that you vote for this idea based on its merits, not your personal opinion of me or whether or not you think it has a chance of being implemented. The Site Suggestion subforum is supposed to reflect things as they should be, not as they are likely to turn out. Thank you for your patience and your vote.

i always used to go threw searching very old topics but was unable to see them

so a yes from me

But if i'm not voting because of my personal opinion, then how am i supposed to vote. If i don't think it would work then that is my opinion, if i do that's my opinion aswell. Just doesn't make sense to me tbh.
What is the point of having a poll without an opinion everything would just be null. That's just what i've taken from what you've said anyway

...your personal opinion of me. Please read carefully before voting or posting. In this case I have asked all prospective voters to refrain from commenting. Do not jump to judgement until you have read everything. Thank you for your cooperation. This poll is currently 5-1-1 in favor, demonstrating a clear support for this suggestion. I invite more D2jsp users to vote, everyone one of them counts.

Current polling stands at 5-2-2, demonstrating a majority of voter support for this idea. I would like more people to vote so please read the suggestion thoroughly and then click your opinion.

Please vote, your opinion counts.

6-2-2, the ayes are expanding their lead over the nays. While voter turnout is low, those who have voted seem to overwhelmingly favor this suggestion.

this would create expensive search queries and I think should only be accessible if you have to pay for it
cus theres no real reason to go searching through archives

Very well put together.
I can see why searching the archives could be helpful.
I voted yes.

Sure there is, D2jsp offers a wealth of Diablo 2 related information and I think everyone can benefit from that. Searches for old items, tracking down old members, or simply finding a few of those legendary threads that people like to put in their profile, there are ample reasons. I don't like the concept of pay-per-use since everything seems too expensive these days, but your vote is weclome.


Thank you, the polling currently stands at 9-4-2, placing the majority of votes with the 'ayes'. Bring clicks.
