It is a sad day to us all.

Maybe some dedicated fans could still keep things going! It's been good to have a place like this.

Uh, why not just make  victoriaviper admin of the accounts?

Because my interest in Doom has waned in recent years. The community has made a greater shift towards mods that heavily rework the gameplay, and slaughtermaps that focus on extreme difficulty while throwing gobs upon gobs of monsters at you. My passion lies in vanilla gameplay, with levels that focus on exploration, puzzles and horror-tinged tension -- things that once defined Doom level design but have since fallen out of fashion.

Couple that with the fact that I hated Doom Eternal, I feel I can no longer speak for the Doom community.

Regardless of your game and mod preference, your opinion matters, and there will always be someone who wants to listen.
It's part of why I'm in the club in the first place.

Well thank you, dear. That's very kind of you.

Still, it's hard to shake the feeling that you're the only one that thinks that way. Most Doom sites/channels focus on the craziest weapon mods or the dumbest troll/meme mods and I just can't care about those. I wanna play Doom; I don't wanna murder demons with toothbrushes or Tim Allen's head, and I don't wanna waste 10 hours slowly whittling through 40,000 monsters in teh biggestest slaughtermap evar.

I feel like it could only work if I had a "co-host" who focuses on the new, wilder stuff, while I stick to classic-style maps. Then we'd get a sample of everything.

Doh! But RL is both important and heavy. Thanks for your contributions and posts!
