There have always been a huge amount of places to find great Quake/II/III demos. But in DOOM, likely because there wasn't a huge online sport-like following at the time of its release, it's hard to find great demos.
Even now with source ports, and utilities like ZD and Skulltag, you still have to go on the hunt for deathmatch demos.
I realize that doom2.net has several, but considering that most DOOM players play source ports for deathmatch, that simply shouldn't be the only place around to find great dm demos (because all of them are for doom2.exe).
I also realize a couple of players have their own sites for demos, but this is unsatisfactory even STILL, because they're showcasing only one player, and they're all for ZDaemon exclusively, instead of including other ports.
So - my proposal is that Doomworld open a section of the site for downloading deatchmatch demos.
They could be categorized by port (including doom/2.exe).
This would promote awareness of the coolness of deathmatch and potentially raise the skill of the deathmatch community, as they would have a far easier time getting a Hi Jango (for instance) demo here, and watching it on ZD than they would trying to figure out how to play a doom2.exe demo that was recorded before they even heard of DOOM.
Furthermore, uploading could be handled the same way /newstuff is handled, probably, and a single person could take care of the responsibility (i.e. me or Opulent, etc).
Discuss.
