    Doomworld Nearing Its End


    mewse

    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!

    Opening the Doomworld web-page today I was shocked *amost* believing this news. And it has provoked me into signing up to this web-site to voice my affection for both this place and Doom...

    I just can't imagine my life without blasting effeminate profunctory cacodemons with a db shotgun on a Sunday afternoon after having read the /newstuff reviews...it makes a perfect Sunday.

    I heard that Doomworld is going to be run by Unicorn X, Woolie Wool, and esco until Millennium is finished.


    Noooooo! I'd get so snowed under with Slige megawads in newstuff I'd be reduced to playing 1 map, flicking through the rest and trying to review it quickly!

    Enough of April Tard's day for one year. Postcount++ opportunity's over. Thank mewse for your chance.

    And when I say it's done with it's fucking done with, Cyb. I don't override your decisions and I expect the same in return thanks. This thread serves no purpose other than spam and it IS closed.

    Blah, that was a crappy April Fool joke. I still think that my fake doom3 tech demo release over at DC (when I was still a newsie there) was the best one ever.
