MikeyScoots Posted September 26, 2004 Ever wonder what Doomworld would be like 10 years from now? Of course everyone would be 10 years older, and an invasion of doom3 newbies asking for doom and doom2.wad. But exactly what do you predict would be changed/added? 0 Share this post Link to post
Sephiroth Posted September 26, 2004 well what was doomworld like 10 years ago?? quick open doomworld in an old browser, from win 3.11 and in 256 or 16 color. that could give us SOME idea. note: i know doomworld was not around 10 years ago 0 Share this post Link to post

Sharessa Posted September 26, 2004 I'll be 30 and will hopefull have a place of my own and a wife and therefor have no reason to ever talk to you people so I don't really give a care. 0 Share this post Link to post
Bucket Posted September 26, 2004 Yes, because we're all aware how the DW community is sensitive and supportive to lonely post-teen sociopaths. Or conductive, at least. 0 Share this post Link to post
Bloodshedder Posted September 26, 2004 The chances of Doomworld existing 5 years from now are pretty low, what do you think the chances of 10 years are? 0 Share this post Link to post

Erm, this site has been up for what, 4 years now or something, I'm pretty sure it can go on 14 years and more. 0 Share this post Link to post

Amaster Posted September 26, 2004 It's about 7-ish now, not including the forums. And uh, why the hell would we still be here in 14 years? I mean really. I think we'll have other things we'll need to be doing at that point. Edit: What BS said. 0 Share this post Link to post
Darkman 4 Posted September 26, 2004 Doomworld will be gone and a porn site will buy the address. 0 Share this post Link to post
AndrewB Posted September 26, 2004 Doomworld has officially been around for 6.5 years. Telefragged has hosted the site all this time. And nobody really knows why Telefragged hasn't gone under yet. 0 Share this post Link to post

deathbringer Posted September 26, 2004 The NAME Doomworld will exist, even if i have to make it and run it myself, on geocities. The doom community will also still exist, even if i am the only person in it, if barryboys can modify 20 year old cars, we can modify a 20 year old game.

Remilia Scarlet Posted September 26, 2004 I can barely remember what Doomworld looked like six years ago. I think it was around that time I first found it, actually...anyone still happen to have a screenshot or something? 0 Share this post Link to post
Grazza Posted September 26, 2004 Ten years is a long time, especially for a website (or indeed for the web itself). I imagine there will still be interest in Doom for many years to come, but what form the online community will take, who knows? 0 Share this post Link to post

myk Posted September 26, 2004 It depends on the value of id Software stocks... but DOOM itself will no doubt continue to have a space on the web for very many years to come, possibly on specifically "retro" sites along with emulators and whatnot, nonetheless. 0 Share this post Link to post
Relica Religia Posted September 27, 2004 All I know is that when DW dies or turns into a porn site, or whatever, I'll celebrate it's anniversary in respect. Or something. Actually, I probably won't. 0 Share this post Link to post
