Great news! If Doomworld shuts down, we can go there!! Also posting in I'm too young to die Doomguy thread.

I can't get to the forums how did you get there?

[printz]

Neither can I; maybe they'll work in the future?

[Archy]

we should all archive this website on our hard drives:

[Snip instructions on how to download the entire site using wget]

[Mod: No, don't do that. While the goal of mirroring doom2.net is a worthy one, instructing everyone on the forum to mirror the entire site amounts to a DDOS attack. And the damned site just came back up!]

[Kira]

Great idea Archy. Archive in progress!

[GreyGhost]

Don't all do so at once!

Good to see it back. Doom Depot's there but the URL's broken - use this one

[betabox]

Holy crap, this is one of the best things to happen this year.

[Archy]

Ya I know this is crazy, really made me happy though.

But why did it come back? What had changed?

And I think this thread, or another one like it, should be a sticky for about a week.

5 forums (excluding "READ THIS! Doom on Windows / Steam") are already listed above it and this is some pretty important shit.

[PS: Sorry for inadvertently starting a DDoS attack.]

I wonder why he doesn't have a memorial page for Espi or that french guy who quit for religious reasons?

[NiTROACTiVE]

So Doom2.net is back? That's great, but it doesn't look like the Doom2.net I remember.

It doesn't? What has changed?

Well I can't seem to find the page with all of the MP2 files for the music, can you help me out?

Because it was offline when they died? It doesn't seem like there has been anything new on that site, beyond "it's back online again".

You literally said this just as I started watching this!

Nameserver issue has been resolved. COMPET-N's FTP still seems to be down.

You're welcome.

Is nuclear teacup still around? I remember his bat-shit insane demon synopsis

[Marcaek]

I just took a look at the screenshots for "Fatal experience", and it seems pretty good. What happened to it?

I was about to say something about this. I have the big compet-n zip, but I still tried to download demos anyway since that was the only doom2.net thing that affected me. And yeah it's still down.

[Brewtal_Legend]

the link to Doom Depot on the site doesn't seem to work.

[GreyGhost]

We know, use this alternate link.

It didn't change at all for me..

Nameserver trace for doom2.net:

Looking for who is responsible for root zone and followed b.root-servers.net.
Looking for who is responsible for net and followed j.gtld-servers.net.
Looking for who is responsible for doom2.net and followed ns2.finhosting.fi.

Nameservers for doom2.net:

ns1.finhosting.fi returned (SERVFAIL)
ns2.finhosting.fi returned (NORECORDS)

Nameserver failure, try again later. I'm a little surprised that the backup nameserver has no record of the site.

Cool a back up in the waiting **

Good to hear - would have been a shame if it had vanished.
