What?? I didn't know any of this! I remember Jive's website from back in the day when I started playing PC Doom. Jive had a massive collection of wads and megawads on his site, not all of excellent quality, but the colour and enthusiasm of his site really got me. I even exchanged a couple of messages with him about using his Doom 1 to Doom 2 texture wad, not exactly a memorable thing, but he seemed perfectly decent to me.
Let's face it, who wouldn't go a bit mad if they knew they were dying of cancer? Some people lose the plot after a relationship break up or a non-fatal car crash. Would anyone just carry on living their normal lives after being told they're basically doomed? Would your current world view survive if you knew your world was coming to an end?
It's sad to hear he went off the rails but I can't blame him at all, and I won't speak ill of him now he's gone. On the other hand, I hate to say this, but I'd like to see some of these threads.
So sad that someone whose name I've known for so long wound up like this.
I want to quote a post Jive made back in 2002:
Jive once said:
Finally, I am in love of all the promoted authors at DLW. It's why I do a so hard work to bring them at the top! ...and it's why I'm so sad if an author don't understand my goal!
