GavinJCD Posted August 19, 2001 Alright boys, it's me it's me, it's GAVINJCD! Now listen up, I have a poll...here it is I was wandering about doomworld and what the community thinks what will happen to it in terms of popularity after doom3 is released. I personally amen't sure, I'd say there is gonna be a few big sites devoted to it, such as planetdoom.com (no need to tell you who owns that domain). So what do you lot think... How well do you think doomword will do in terms of visitage once doom3 is released... 0 Share this post Link to post

Arioch Posted August 20, 2001 You were a newbie once, so stop being so narrow-minded!I may have been a newbie once upon a time, but I rest secure in the knowledge that not one of you can prove it. :) 0 Share this post Link to post
Red_Warrior Posted August 20, 2001 As long as we don't get -really- stupid newbies... who insult the original DOOM games. And if they do, I'm getting the rocket launcher out ^_^. Lookit, I made a newbie fly! -Red, who doesn't dislike most newbies, just the ones who deserve it! 0 Share this post Link to post
læmænt Posted August 20, 2001 As long as we don't get -really- stupid newbies... Oh, but we will!who insult the original DOOM games. Most of them wouldn't even know about the existance of DooMI and DooMII... 0 Share this post Link to post
Lüt Posted August 20, 2001 newbie to these forums last year.Who wasn't? 0 Share this post Link to post
Red_Warrior Posted August 20, 2001 I just dread the coming of the dumb newbies.... *sighs* those who won't know about DOOM are likely to be a pain in the arse, then those who find out about it... *growls* are gonna insult classic DOOM most likely.... I can hear it now x_x. Ah well... at least there's time to prepare *shines up her rocket launcher* 0 Share this post Link to post
Lüt Posted August 21, 2001 I just dread the coming of the dumb newbies....Don't worry, that's what I'm here for :) 0 Share this post Link to post
læmænt Posted August 21, 2001 Blah... simply posthelling stupid threads is boring. First, about fifty people should FLAME the original poster; then the thread goes to post hell, and everyone is satisfied :) 0 Share this post Link to post
læmænt Posted August 21, 2001 But we won't need to care about that after DoomIII goes out, because the number of newbies here will be virtually unlimited. 0 Share this post Link to post
DoOmEr4LiFe Posted August 21, 2001 I believe when Doom 3 comes out there is going to be a surge of bandwagon jumpers coming to this site...those kind of idiots will not give the respect us veteran doomers damn well deserve...I know for a fact this will happen but lets hope we dont get the largest portion of bandwagoners... 0 Share this post Link to post
Lüt Posted August 21, 2001 lets hope we dont get the largest portion of bandwagoners...Are you kidding? The new Doom is going to merge all the FPS communities out there into one. There isn't going to a single FPS fanatic from ANY FPS community who won't migrate into the new Doom community. FPS's are rather split up now in terms of fanbases, but wait until the new Doom unifies them all. They'll be flocking from all their various communities to the Doom sites. Have you seen any Quake3 forums? It's gonna be a nightmare. 0 Share this post Link to post
DiSTuRBeD Posted August 21, 2001 planetdoom is probably gonna be owned and provided by gamespy Duh. Of course it will, unless someone buys the domain before they can, wich i guess they already have, and refuse to sell it to them that is. 0 Share this post Link to post
Red_Warrior Posted August 21, 2001 Of course Gamespy will! They buy PlanetAnything...... and if they can't get PlanetDOOM.... MoonDOOM? TerraDOOM?... The newbie influx is going to be horrid... likely worse than the Gundam fiasco I witnessed. *Kicks Gundam W* if it hadn't been tailored domestically to the seven-year old boys, the entire Gundam fandom would've been so much happier. We shouldn't get seven year olds here, but likely some close to the mentality... -Red, who hopes at least a few good newbies will come of this..... 0 Share this post Link to post
