Are you dense or did you just not read the thread before posting? You don't get an individual warning, and I'm not sure if I need to keep you around here much longer. Besides, your claim that "duping is so easy it's hard not to do it" gives me doubts about your gaming ethics as well.
Bah. I don't want to deal with this right now. I'm going to sit on it. Feel free to PM me you have an opinion on the matter; this goes for anyone.

Hold on, you're making assumptions here.
1. Warez - ?? WHAT?! This is a program that is no longer sold in stores. If it's inappropriate to provide at no charge something that cannot be found any other way (short EBay), then I apologize, and have edited it out. However, keep in mind no offense was intended, and my copy is liscenced and legit, not "warez".
2. Gaming Ethics - I'm tempted to flame you for flat accusing me of being a cheater, as that's what you just did, however I will not. Simply put, I don't cheat, as it removes all fun from a game. But when you can drop an item on the ground, go to pick it up, and pick up a potion at the same time, and suddenly have a second copy of that item, it's just too easy, and hard not to do it. Simply put. I'm not excusing or justifying it, but "cheating" and taking advantage of a bug in a game are fairly different subjects. That bug was never fixed. It's one of the reasons I don't go back and play Diablo again, because I know I'd probably do it.
There are cheats and hacks for every game. At this point, pretty much any game I know I will cheat in, I will not play, for that specific reason. Which is one of the reasons I still play games like Fallout2, Diablo2, UT, UT2004, and a few others. Now, if you want to threaten to axe me from this forum, go right ahead. It's the internet, dude, and any forum or message board is as good as any other. Offering to provide something that is very hard to find, and providing my opinions on said item, however, is not something I would consider ban-worthy. Don't listen to me though, as I've only operated as owner 15 message boards, 6 websites, and admined or moderated close to 50 others. I probably do not know what I'm talking about.
