I was wondering if that might have happened.. there's a first time for everything. I guess I should have tried something else when "You cannot make another post so soon after your last; please try again in a short while." came up after clicking the "submit" button.

Better yet, have it make you a batch file and save it to your desktop--no having to remember/write down IPs (don't forget to include your own D3's command line options, if you've set any).

I wasn't confusing hardcore with elite; it doesn't have anything to do with skill--it's an attitude.

I didn't see a poll option I wanted.
I personally think that it's a mistake for PlanetDescent to be run by casual Descenters. The forums are lacking (content-wise). I currently view PD as a has-been site.
On the other hand, PD has a wealth of D3 resources, which has always been great.
