Btw, damn I could mine minerals with 1 probe faster in a normal melee game than I could getting minerals here.
Minerals are based on how much you post. Text size and quality. So for every line you type that is one mineral or something close. Unless you actually take a side in an argument, and you defend it validly, you're not bound to get alot of minerals fast.
This is not an insult to anyone. It is the truth. It is in no way meant to offend anyone.

Hackers have been hacking SC since about maybe (correct me if I'm wrong) a year after it came out, 6 years ago, but StarCraft is still alive (and might I add: full of the average 10 year old newb that still needs to go through puberty). I bet there was someone thinking of shutting down known hacking sites 5 years ago.
SC came out in 1997. BW came out in 1998. Major hacking has been around since late '98.

I don't believe hackers have messed up SC to the poitn where there's no use playing it. Especially with these cool patches Blizzard keeps creating
Blizzard is the pwnage.

Now that isn't even remotely related the patch, but I'm sure MrrLL will have no problem with that
To each his own.

ok fine. Its just that if hackers are gonna mess up sc theirs no use of playing. Nxt other blizzard games.
As for hacking in other games, Diablo II provides a hacker's realm (open characters), and a protected series of realms (ladder, realm non-ladder). this gives everyone a bit of everything. Although unlike in SC, maphack in Diablo II is good for everyone. And Warcraft III, few people are going to go through all the struff they have to go though in WCIII to make a hack for it, which is more easily counted by Blizzard, than SC.
