DOTA from VALVe revealed!

I'm risking a lot posting this, and I'm posting this anonymously to protect myself and my friends from getting bans. The BL Forum's game section has really changed, it used to be a fun place to post about games you like, but now that niven has been hired, it all changed. He's getting all the credit from posting these Valve-related threads when us, the other posters, don't get recognition for showing niven some of these things. You can tell that I'm really a poster there by doing this:
1. Go to http://forum.blockland.us
2. scroll down to usage stats
3. look at the top ten posters, we're all there.
We've tried talking to niven about this, but he wouldn't listen. This isn't how the BL forum used to be, it used to be about the readers, not the poster's post count. Niven demands that his DOTA thread must be just like his old Portal 2 thread. Here's how to prove that he made the Portal 2 thread:
1. Go to http://forum.blockland.us
2. Click Search (at the top of the page.)
3. Search "Portal 2 Megathread"
4. You'll see that niven posted the "new portal 2 megathread"
The new portal 2 meagthread isn't even new, he just remade the original portal 2 megathread. He's a liar too, there's a large gap in his last posts, where we assumed that he just didn't post, but he posted another Valve megathread.

that doesn't even make sense
why exactly is it so bad that niven posts megathreads related to valve stuff
Orion:
i remember downloading the dota game from a WCIII dota download server, joining a game, and when they started it, leave, so it would forget up the balancing system completely and they would have to restart it.
