Linguica Posted December 23, 1999 Team Insanity has posted a new review of that "QBoard" WAD by three Quake mappers, and the Chief has also posted his list of his favorite WADs ever. 0 Share this post Link to post
Lüt Posted February 11, 2000 Well, as long as mordeth doesn't delete half the material because he decides it doesn't amuse him, I'd say go for it. 0 Share this post Link to post
Chief Posted February 11, 2000 Yeah, I agree with Lüt. Cyb is a cool moderator of the <a href="http://forums.doomnation.com"> DN forums <a/> cause he lets everyone have their say... even if it is controversial and offends one or two people... Watch and learn Mordeth!! 0 Share this post Link to post

Guest Risen Posted February 11, 2000 I think the comments are good enough for now. Concentrate on getting the mod expo up and running, I think it would be a much better addition for everyone. 0 Share this post Link to post
Guest Levendis Posted February 11, 2000 What mod expo? What mods? As far as I can tell there are maybe four projects that are on course to being completed within my lifetime, and about twenty projects that I don't have a whole lot of faith in. Y'know what I would like to see...? Get everyone working on one port for a while. Take the best features of each port and get one good working engine to last us a while. Call it the Standard Updated Doom Engine (SUDE). This way when the community opens up with the release of good server-client netcode, we'll have something ready. What was the question? Oh yeah...forums would be cool. 0 Share this post Link to post
Jon Posted February 11, 2000 Linguica, I distinctly remember you saying 'Doomworld won't ever have a forum cuz of all that crap that gets posted on the DN one' or words to that effect. I say no- the DN ones arent used an aweful lot, and there isnt a need for another one from a news site. 0 Share this post Link to post
Guest Xenocide Posted February 11, 2000 I think a forum would suck, sifting through subject lines to find interesting comments is not fun. I like hitting the comments link on a subject I'm interested in much more. 0 Share this post Link to post
Julian Posted February 12, 2000 Well, if you accept the idea of comments, I think it would be better to have a forum... Interactivity is better. 0 Share this post Link to post
X-Blade Posted February 12, 2000 I think it would be too hard to keep everything organized. You'd get half a million comments, and you'd have to drag through the thousands of different topics that come up on this page. I like the comments link better because it is easier to find the subject you want to talk about. 0 Share this post Link to post
Linguica Posted February 12, 2000 Of course no one really uses the comment threads anyway but whatever :P 0 Share this post Link to post
Guest Caleb Posted February 12, 2000 if you think about it, the comments pages are the same thing as a forum. anyone can add their thoughts, and also, it is alot better then a forum because it extends to every bit of news thats covered here on DW. dont get me wrong, theres nothing wrong with forums, but over the course of time, they can get HUGE in page size i:e: http://www.doomworld.com/doomgl/forum. there is one remedy for this though. if ya catagorize a forum into different subdirectories, where people can post their opinions on various subjects relating to the doom community it wouldnt be so bad as just one HUGE forum:-) later guys 0 Share this post Link to post

AndrewB Posted February 12, 2000 Wait! As long as you don't get rid of these threads, than ok!! I would much rather have these threads than forums. 0 Share this post Link to post
Guest ResDe Posted February 12, 2000 Keep Threads but also incorporate forums 0 Share this post Link to post
Guest Deano99 Posted February 12, 2000 I love forums.... get them now....! u could use ones be EZboard... they do em for free! 0 Share this post Link to post
Guest Anonymous User Posted February 13, 2000 Why not? If ppl don't wanna use it then they won't... fire it up! but don't lose the comment threads... they r0x0r. 0 Share this post Link to post
Guest Anonymous User Posted February 13, 2000 examples are at the 'discussion board' parts of www.drainyou.com and www.nirvanaclub.com VERY good and easy! 0 Share this post Link to post
Hyena Posted February 13, 2000 I don't know. I think it defeats the purpose. Doomnation already has a forum. Why do we need two? 0 Share this post Link to post
AndrewB Posted February 13, 2000 I agree. I don't think we need the forums. It would thin out the discussion between the two forums. However, if we were to put a thread system like this one on DoomNation, then that would be great!! Yeah!! :-b 0 Share this post Link to post
Guest Anonymous User Posted February 13, 2000 I like the comments on news stories better than a full-fledged forum. Keeps the discussions relevant (in theory), & people who want forums can head over to DN. 0 Share this post Link to post
Guest Levendis Posted February 14, 2000 Some people have noted that the comments system is useful because it allows you to find exactly the item you're looking for. I see no reason why the "comments" link cannot point you to a specific thread in the forums, and in fact can think of a few freeware message board CGIs that could be modified to fit. This way we'd get to talk to each other instead of Mordeth, Cov, and Linguica just telling us news. Might be interesting, get some more activity happening in the community. 0 Share this post Link to post
Guest HellKnight Posted February 14, 2000 Forums would be a HUGE pain in the ass and it must be hard enough running this site without it. The comment threads are better anyways. More specific to the topic and easier to use. So, I say fuck the forums, we got comment threads and those are good enough. 0 Share this post Link to post
Guest Anonymous User Posted February 14, 2000 Forums rule, check out ZDoom's and 3D Realms' boards... easy to use as hell... 0 Share this post Link to post
