Welcome. This is a guide to help getting to D3 multiplayer games using Vortex.

My wonder is why this community in particular gets so political.  My best answer is that we have a good distribution of people from all parts of the political spectrum.

I wasn't trying to say anything about which side is better, simply that I'm unsure how the only people on my friends list who are outspoken about politics and end up in 30-comment political arguments (Since the word I really want to use would get me banned...) are republicans. Any democrats on my friends list stay stubbornly quiet.

just the way it is. Even so by location. My old home town has democrat signs all over. some areas, yes, all over. Every yard has a few it seems. Where I am now, a lot for the republicans. It's whatever is majority that will speak more I guess,

The place I live at has a LOOOOOONG history of being Republican, so much so that, while there certainly are still Democrats around, you don't here much about them in this area.

Not that it makes much difference to me. Though I tend to favor Republican at times when voting, I don't particularly care for any of the political parties (100% at least), so much so that at times I'll jokingly consider myself part of the "Ignorant" party.

I wasn't trying to imply that you were saying anything about which side was better.  It was just an observation.  I wasn't even trying to imply that much of your friends list is from this community.
And this is how Rawmotion finds out about the big shameful secret of this community... no forum thread can stay on topic for more than a page.
We should change the subject again before someone (it could be me, it could be you!) makes a seemingly innocuous political comment that starts a huge flame war.

Which reminds me. I still need to install D3 on this laptop of mine...

Find me a forum that isn't like that

Maniaplanet.  The guys at Nadeo don't even need to remake or split the important sticky threads.  Ever.  Or at least till I start posting in them.  Though there was this memorable time I made an offhand joke in a thread about some bug with environment mods during the Trackmania2 Canyon beta and the entire thread derailed to people discussing how crazy I am.

FanFiction.Net has a series of forums that, in my experience, stay relatively on topic at all times. But then again, the forums are not a high point at FF.Net.
