Little Gerrard spent another three days clearing the entire Diablo newbie map. At the same time, he also recorded all the items dropped by monsters. Then, he wrote a guide about the drop rates of the main items in the newbie map. At the same time, he also included more than a dozen side quests in the newbie map.
He had to admit that this was a very practical guide, which could save a lot of time for many new players. So, little Gerrard proudly posted his guide on BBS. Then, he found that the other party had also posted his guide.
Little Gerrard only took a glance at it, and he wanted to throw his guide away. Because the other party posted the guides to kill the seven most powerful bosses under Big Pineapple's command.
Little Gerrard was still stuck on the first boss. He could not defeat it at all. Otherwise, he would not have wanted to look for a guide on BBS. He did not expect that the guide would be posted in such a way.
"You are so good!" Little Gerrard said in the first post, "I lost!"
"It's fine. Actually, your guide is very useful as well. You actually managed to calculate the drop rates of over 100 types of equipment and over 60 types of special tools. That's something I definitely couldn't do. You're very good too!" The other party praised.
So, the two people began to praise each other. It was quite a pity that they did not meet earlier. So, a pair of good friends was born in the cyberspace.
"But I still have very few members in BSS. There are only five people now, and no one is writing a guide. I am the only one who continues to collect the drop data of the maps!" Little Gerrard said after writing another guide.
Oh, this person was suffering from depression.
"Oh, that's not right. Can you show me the background data?" The other party said.
"Well, I will give you the identity of an administrator!" Little Gerrard quickly gave the other party the identity of an administrator, and he became the person with the most power in the entire BBS, second only to himself.
"Look, we've already had a few hundred views in the past few days. This means that a few hundred people have clicked into our BBS, but very few have registered as members. This means that they left after reading the strategy, and didn't convert to our membership!"
"That's why I think you can design it so that non-members can only see the first 100 words of the strategy guide. Only those who have officially registered as members can see all the strategies. This way, you can attract a large number of members!" Huang Yiming suggested.
"What a great idea!" Little Gerrard said excitedly. He followed Huang Yiming's instructions, and sure enough, there were more than a dozen registered members in one day. At the same time, there were no longer only posts from him and Huang Yiming in the chat area. Other people began to post one after another, but these posts were basically complaining that Little Gerrard and Huang Yiming were openly discussing the operation of banning visitors to increase registered members.
After another week or so, Little Gerrard's BSS had 100 registered members. At the same time, apart from Little Gerrard and Huang Yiming, there were finally other players who began to post their own posts. The BSS gradually became a little more lively.
At this time, the Internet was still a rare thing. Those who had access to the Internet were basically elites, and there was no such thing as the Internet in the future.
In addition, because of the invisibility of the Internet, these elites could tear off their daily masks and show their true nature freely on the Internet. No matter what they said or chatted, they were very straightforward, and there was no beating around the bush.
This was Little Gerrard's favorite way to get along with others. He liked to get along with people sincerely. Therefore, Little Gerrard found more fun in this world than playing Diablo. He found that hanging around in his own forum every day, looking at the chat posts of other players, and bragging with the members, was the best thing in the world.
"What a pity, such a good BSS. If it weren't for my good luck, I wouldn't have found it at all!" One day, when Little Gerrard was looking at the posts of other members on the forum, he saw a member post.
"Yeah, I've been looking for Diablo for two weeks, but I still couldn't find a Diablo guide. Then one day, I had an idea and typed Diablo.bbs.us into the URL, and I was lucky enough to find this BSS!" Another member posted.
"Awesome, I was recommended by a friend. I couldn't beat Sloth, so he recommended me to look for guides on this BSS."
"I was also recommended by a friend, but I'm here to collect all the equipment. I heard that there are a lot of equipment drop rates on this BSS, and some monsters that drop special items. That's why I'm here. This place is so helpful!"
"Yeah, it's a pity that many people can't find this place. I have a lot of friends who complain that they can't find Diablo's BSS. If there's something that can be typed into Diablo, they'll be able to find it here!" Another player posted.
"There's something that can be typed into Diablo, and you'll be able to find it here!" This member's suggestion made Little Gerrard fall into deep thought. So in the next half a month, the members of the Diablo Continent BSS suddenly found that the unusually active webmaster had suddenly disappeared. If it weren't for the daily maintenance of the forum, everyone would have thought that the Warmaster had given up on solving problems.
Even Huang Yiming, as an administrator, found that he couldn't contact Little Gerrard. Just when he was worried about his new friend and was afraid that something might happen to him, Little Gerrard suddenly found Huang Yiming in the early morning one day and left him a message in the internal forum section. "I've created a program, can you give me some advice?"
At that time, Huang Yiming was still awake, so the two night owls started chatting on the Internet through the forum.
"What program did you create? Is it good? "Huang Yiming asked curiously.
"I don't know if it's good or not. I was actually inspired by a post, so I created a program. In this program, as long as you type in the words Diablo BBS, you'll be able to get to the URL of our forum immediately!" Little Gerrard replied.
"Isn't this just a small URL jumping program? It seems that you're a novice programmer. It took you half a month to write such a small program!" Huang Yiming laughed.
"No, in fact, this isn't a program anymore … How should I put it? I just wanted to create a small program like this, but I felt that such a small program would have to be sent to others through the Internet. In that case, it would be better to just tell them the URL of our BBS."
"So I thought, is there any way for everyone to use this program as quickly as possible?"
"So I changed this program into a website. As long as you type in Diablo BBS on the website, you'll be able to get to our URL immediately. But I felt that such a website's function was a bit too simple. There might be other BBS forums like ours that couldn't let other netizens find themselves quickly!"
"So I simply wrote another program that could automatically collect the URLs of various BBS forums. It collected the URLs of thousands of BBS forums on the Internet. This way, as long as you type in a few keywords, you'll be able to find the URLs of other BBS forums immediately!"
"Because the program to collect URLs was a bit difficult, it took a lot of time. But after I created this website, I felt that it had deviated from my original purpose. Do you think I should release the entire website?" Little Gerrard asked doubtfully.
