It is arguable how much this site actually requires Linguica, but definite shift in psychology occured when the longest-serving founder of the site left after almost five years of leadership. Since then, the site has been run almost through committee with Julian serving as a sort of Chairman of the board.
Nevertheless, each staff member wanted to voice their own reasons for leaving:
Julian: If I ever read another line of PHP code, I don't care if I accidentally glance it or seek it out for my own destruction, but I will completely lose it, and I'll probably take out a square city block with me. Oh, and if mewse posts something retarded for April's Fools, I will fly to Canada and beat the snot out of him. I'm serious.
Mordeth: I'll be continuing on the Mordeth project, and it's going to stay hosted here as long as the site stays up, which is uncertain considering it's not going to be maintained. I've enjoyed banning many, many people in the forums, but I'm going to spend more time concentrating on my TC. Luckily, continuing at the pace we have been going, episode 3 might see the light of day in 2008.
Cyb: I deleted Doom again.. but I think I'm going to reinstall it, just for /newstuff reviews, and massmouth 2. heh. Wait, why did I delete it? Oh crap, I quit.
Arioch: what? i havent been an official staff member for months
rayle: I haven't posted news for a year, what makes you think I'm going to care what DW readers think of my leaving?
Bloodshedder: I can still post news though.. right? By the way, I think I saw some warez in the forums..
bigd: listen, i'm at work, can i talk to you later?
deathz0r: Most of the time, Doomworld fills me with a vomit-inducing rage, and I end up wanting to slam my head against my desk repeatedly. Make the pain stop! Zero out of ten.
Ultimate DooMer: From the random monsters in the top corner, to the entertaining news posts, to the excellence of the /newstuff reviewers, I'm going to be sorry to see Doomworld go. It may have been the best web site ever.
Hyena: I love Doomworld, but sometimes the people in the forums made me want to reach into my monitor and grab then by their neck, and pull their eyes from their sockets and feed them to the neighbourhood cats. Then I'd smash their face into their monitor until jagged pieces of glass tore through their cheeks and forehead and then I'd crush their skull with my iron fist of /newstuff reviews. Thanks for nothing.
Lüt: To anyone worrying, the forums are going to stay up as long as Telefragged remains standing. They'll have to pry it from my cold, dead fingers. Not fake dead, either.
By the way, April fools!
