[:1]I was curious as to whether people still did this or not.
Back in the day (I bought D2 at release), before LoD and runewords, we used to do what is called festing. It consisted of 6 speedfreak stafe/multi zons, 1 conc pally (the proto hammerdin before they became popular or noted for their hammer attack), and either a jabazon or fanat/zealot to tank.
Anyone still do this?|||never heard of it.|||There's not that many 8p teams that play together in a planned manner like that, and since 1.10 there's a next delay on strafe/multi so the team you describe wouldn't really be a good idea today. As such, nope, I think rather I'm safe in claiming that no one does "festing" anymore.
Strafe next delay info:

And it wasn't really 8-player teams. Instead, there was a channel where people got games together on the fly. We even did it was 3-4 players.|||As clear from my post above I've never heard the term before either, just like CDM, and with your second post now I can no longer quite guess what the term really entails.
If it isn't a specific 8p team as described in your first post, but instead any kind of team which focuses on powering up a bowzon ... then in that case I'd say yes, that is still the focus on some teams. However, have never heard anything about any channels where people meet up for the sake of specifically forming those types of teams.
