Diablo III thread is in the wrong sub-section

Since DarkUnderlord decided this is how RPGs would be identified.
I'm pretty sure this system generates the maximum butthurt.

Can we please have the Diablo III thread scripted so it moves to a different forum every 24 hours, then all complaints will be equally valid and invalid at the same time.

Thanks.

PoE and Diablo (I II III) are Action RPGs
Diablo 3 isn't an RPG, action or not, because it has no RPG features.

It's as simple as that.

Sure it's an RPG, a terrible RPG, but still an RPG.
In what way it is an RPG?

We are in luck as I have recently defined RPG for the entirety of the Codex Community here:

If you don't like Paul and what he represents, then you probably won't like the book.

There's lore and LoTR style anthropological history to be enjoyed along the way but it's pretty standard Hero's Journey fare, which I am personally a sucker for.

Dune, Star Wars, The Matrix, Lawrence of Arabia, etc. Most good RPGs emulate these same story telling techniques, which any True Codexian™ appreciates .

In conclusion:

:hmmm::hmmm::hmmm::hmmm::hmmm::hmmm::hmmm::hmmm::hmmm::hmmm::hmmm::hmmm::hmmm::hmmm::hmmm::hmmm::hmmm::hmmm::hmmm::hmmm::hmmm::hmmm::hmmm::hmmm::hmmm::hmmm::hmmm::hmmm::hmmm:

gone, not around any longer
It's easy, name it Console/Popamole RPG Discussion. That way both kinds of games can be justifiably thrown there while keeping Computer RPG Discussion pure (and without having to get pedantic over which PC games were later ported to consoles as a consequence of using that to justify moving Diablo to popamole discussion where it belongs).

Edit: the current name/description also works.
