Define "human". ;)
The number of posts in the big list is actually exactly 700. There could be a few more WADs in the list but my battery was getting low at the eighth hour.

Really? So, no separate threads for 2002ado, wos, etc? And Never_Again spend >7 hours for nothing? I feel so sorry for him. :(

Guys, hey guys! Let's merge all threads alltogether into miscellaneous demos thread! No more offtopic, no more splitted threads, no more MESS!!1! How badass could that be?

Good idea, but I believe we should go one step further and forbid people to add text to their demo posts. The clutter generated by human language is a waste of time and space and makes it harder to find demos.

I don't agree. When I post a demo in that thread I rely on the clutter of human language to "sell" the demo. It's the only way to get more than three downloads.

I guess I'm being mocked but I'm okay with that.

On topic: even if the mods don't get around to shuffling all these posts around, this thread will already be a great resource, so: thank you Never_Again! Don't let yourself think that your work was wasted.

The only glitch is that Hitherto's copy-paste of the original post broke all of the links with long URLs.
