mbrown Posted February 9, 2012 Apparently someone's out there falsely uploading stuff under the names of well known authors: http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/?id=16711 This one's been caught already, but we better watch out if there's further attempts. 0 Share this post Link to post
EarthQuake Posted February 9, 2012 That's kind of unusual... usually people take other peoples' shit and upload it as their own. Now they're doing the inverse, heh? 0 Share this post Link to post

hex11 Posted February 9, 2012 This is a lot of bullshit:Description : Here is a large Vanilla-themed map that I had created about 5 years ago. I actually completed it 5 years ago, but I didn't want to release it. Now I think it's no harm and it was one that went back to classic design. I have made some changes, recently, like adding custom monsters and balancing gameplay with weapons to accomodate. There is some new music which fits well. Overall, I think I retained the feel of the level while adding a bit. Enjoy! The map is just a copy of an old Michael Reed map from 1996 (Villa of Pain). The other stuff added is just 10 MB of junk. 0 Share this post Link to post
_bruce_ Posted February 9, 2012 "Villa Of Pain" - oh brother ^^ Also wondered about the ingenious sample collection in the wad... strange minds out there. 0 Share this post Link to post
GreyGhost Posted February 10, 2012 The archive spammer's trying something new, obviously desperate for a little notoriety but so long as they don't appear in T/nC there's little harm done. I wonder if Ty IP logs uploads? Gez said:mbrown == MegaDoomer? If it is, he should have PM'd someone who can post. 0 Share this post Link to post
HavoX Posted February 10, 2012 Ty said at the Doomworld /idgame database: Deleted from the archive. Mirrors will catch up. 0 Share this post Link to post

printz Posted February 10, 2012 Gez said:mbrown == MegaDoomer? Yeah, he alerts the community for possible frauds, and you (people) ban him in return. Could it be that the primary reason he was banned (his parents saying something about his condition) be also a fake (i.e. someone posing as his parents to shut him up)? 0 Share this post Link to post
GreyGhost Posted February 10, 2012 His previous posting history when he was obsessing over star ratings has a lot to do with it. I like Brandon, BUT he really must learn when to curb his enthusiasm. 0 Share this post Link to post
printz Posted February 10, 2012 Also, though not so serious as a post, I wish people would stop using the C language double equal when equating people. Two equals is redundant. 0 Share this post Link to post

Grazza Posted February 10, 2012 The dimdawn files are still present at the New York and Texas mirrors. There must be something that isn't quite set up right with the mirroring at these two sites, since files don't get removed from them when they are deleted from the main archive (this has also happened consistently on previous occasions).Pirx said:oh, i remember that guy. hilariously concerned with the rating of maps.

Phobus Posted February 11, 2012 Joe Todd, in the thread linked above, said:I have recently been asking many questions recently. Most have been about finding secret levels. I have to COMPLAIN on the forums before someone gives me the asnwer. This is over wirh!! From now on, when I ask for a spoiler, you MUST reply the answer or I will get furious and report to the mod. I've already had to report to the mod 5 times. And I will take no more of this "I can't get an answer!!" stuff. So there. Good luck, as I ain't changing my mind!!

GreyGhost Posted February 11, 2012 If that's the same guy, he either started very young or is a better troll than we give him credit for. :D 0 Share this post Link to post
Vordakk Posted February 11, 2012 Concerning MegaDoomer, I think his heart is in the right place. He certainly loves DOOM and is very supportive of both old and new mappers, and I don't think he really has any bad intentions. Having said that, I have to agree with the mods' actions because he hasn't learned to tone down some of his posting habits which come off as annoying to many others on this forum. 0 Share this post Link to post
