I checked out Hearthpwn almost every day, because it was the best site out there, had a good sense of humour about itself, was creative, and I could trust it. But I never made an account, because I've hated Curse for maybe a decade. It was weird for me to be loving a site in their shady empire.
Thanks for making the new site, Flux and team! Sorry for how you got treated in the process.

OP, why do you hate Curse, if you don't mind my asking? I'd never even heard of them prior to the HearthPwn fiasco, but I'm always on board for hating on evil corporationey corporations.
Yea me too, whats the coup?
I always used to use Curse Client for getting addons for WoW back in the day. Not really had much (if any) other dealings with them (other than using the loging creds for earthpwn etc.
Not sure why people dislike Curse (in particular) myslef - though everyone has their own good / bad experiences with companies.
If you are not with Wan-kru, you are an enemy of Wan-kru!
:-D
My dislike for them grew from how prolific they were with distributing add-ons for games (World of Warcraft being a big one) without taking much responsibility for when some of those add-ons came with adware, trojans, key-loggers, spyware, and other oddness (either with the initial download, or later in an update for it). Curse may have helped a lot of people enjoy their game experience more, but they also helped a lot of people get their accounts hacked in unexpected ways (or need to reformat their computer).
To me, Curse was never a "you can trust in us" company, but rather a "you take your chances" sort of thing. My opinion, no idea how many others share it.
