-ZDoom Forums are a very close-knit circle jerk of people with ideas they can never bring to fruition
I find the ZDoom population more realistic and less nerdy than Doomworld. They don't seem to suffer from the same self-pity as many Doomworlders, and actually act like people with careers who like trendy Doom ports. They also have knee-jerk reactions to things (especially within forums when I attack someone), which is very non-nerdy and realistic too.

Realm667 is noticeably younger.

@Maes: I saw Tiger commenting something at Doom Builder Forums about wishing the GZDoom plug-in to appear in the latest version too. He seemed like a normal person. I'm pretty sure it's him because his wads had the same acronyms.

This is something I've noticed over time. I would say that communities like the IDL are the furthest in that direction with Doomworld being a stark contrast. In general, this sort of personality contrast exists between hardcore multiplayer to hardcore single player communities too. I find the multiplayer side much more "normal", behaving how most people you'd meet in every day life would. Although I get along with plenty here at Doomworld, there is certainly a lot more hyperbolic personality going on.

Finnish Doomers seem to be an innovative and creative bunch when it comes to Doom modding. Pretty much everyone from Finland I've met has fulfilled that description...

Most of slovak doomerz don't believe in boundaries of country individual inhabits as being the most appropriate factor to describe the way the said individual would act like when becoming a part of doom community. We're such boring stereotypes.

Oh shit!

Another common stereotype is that we hate on modern games cause it's not doom.

There are still good wads made on both ports, but I wish there were more Zdoom mapsets that pushed that engine to it's limits while still making something that's coherent and fun to play with the map design quality that Alien Vendetta or Speed of Doom has.
