Imback55 Posted April 24, 2015 It's been two weeks since there was anything new updated on idgames. Does anybody know why there hasn't anything new? 0 Share this post Link to post
esselfortium Posted April 24, 2015 Everyone started playing Extreme PaintBrawl 2. It's a Doom-killer. 0 Share this post Link to post
Jaxxoon R Posted April 24, 2015 I'm a bit annoyed that Deem hasn't been given the Ty the Tasmanian Archive Tiger treatment. 0 Share this post Link to post

GreyGhost Posted April 25, 2015 Not much the mods can say (apart from Ty when he next stops by), since the idgames archive isn't part of Doomworld. 0 Share this post Link to post

billbuckner Posted April 25, 2015 Folks it's been a good run but it looks like Doom is over. 0 Share this post Link to post
Avoozl Posted April 25, 2015 Someone just needs to make a new wad hosting site then. 0 Share this post Link to post

We can always use our cloud storage services, and a bit of static HTML, to host our own content for the world. The catch is that you need a website like Doomworld.com to link to yours. 0 Share this post Link to post
Guest Unregistered account Posted April 25, 2015 This thread's starting to remind me of Team Fortress 2 at the moment. 0 Share this post Link to post
Memfis Posted April 25, 2015 Either Ty is busy or something bad happened to him. It would be nice if someone in the community was in contact in him since he's such an important person for the scene. 0 Share this post Link to post
Breezeep Posted April 25, 2015 If Ty is dead, or the archive goes down, we're screwed. 0 Share this post Link to post

I was under the impression that after the cdrom.com debacle, a few third parties like mancubus.net and Doom Wad Station were taking care to have a backup of idgames to make sure the files aren't lost in case anything like that were to happen again? 0 Share this post Link to post

kmxexii Posted April 25, 2015 Ty mysteriously vanishes around the same time that Bethesda and Steam unveil the new Steam Workshop model for "content creator" compensation...? Dangerous Days ahead, my friends. Time to back up your PWADs and store them in an EMP-shielded vault. 0 Share this post Link to post

Deleted_Account Posted April 25, 2015 There are millions of WADs out there, I'm sure you'll find something to pass the time. 0 Share this post Link to post
Jaxxoon R Posted April 25, 2015 Has Ty left without notice for around a week anytime previously? If so, then I don't think there's much to worry about. However, if he wishes to avoid anymore "Where's Ty?!?" threads he should at least leave a note. Something like: "WENT TO BAHAMAS EAT SHIT AND DIE." So there's no confusion for when he does go to said Bahamas. 0 Share this post Link to post
betabox Posted April 25, 2015 I'm pretty sure this isn't the first time he's been out for more than a week. Probably busy elsewhere. One week is too soon, IMO, to be concerned. Wait a bit longer. 0 Share this post Link to post
GreyGhost Posted April 26, 2015 A glance at LAST.30days would suggest Ty's been absent for maybe 3 weeks, if it's vacation time he'd better bring back some bloody good snapshots.

Only until Zenimax rewrites the EULA to restrict the distribution of third-party content to authorised outlets. :P 0 Share this post Link to post
Never_Again Posted April 26, 2015 A man who selflessly donated 15 years of his life to maintaining a community archive may be lying in hospital, and said community seems to be preoccupied entirely with the fate of the archive. How delightfully post-modernist! 0 Share this post Link to post
Havoc Crow Posted April 26, 2015 I'm honestly afraid this is one of these threads which builds up to a single post saying "I just got a call from his great-great-grandfather. Ty Halderman died from cancer while committing suicide during a car accident." 0 Share this post Link to post
