The forums though are another thing. They seem very cliqueish and when a new member makes a mistake they ofter get banned with no recourse. I got kicked off the doomworld forum for making a post about my best of doom wads site. Then got kicked off the newdoom forum for sending a PM to Doom Dude asking if it was unacceptable to post about my site there. He just banned me without even replying. I had not even posted anything!

It's only a matter of time before all Doom news disappears entirely. But, I got into Doom in 1992, when I was two. I'm not sure how rare my case is, that my uncle was kind enough to give me Wolf 3D and Doom at that age. I'm sure though, that if the young Doom fans stay active in the community, then we could prolong Doomworld's life. True, Doomworld is but a shadow of it’s former self.

I suspect the issue with DW is less that it's dying (it may be, it may not - I stopped following it a loooooong time ago) and more that the current news crew is, how you say, a bit less self-motivated. At least you still get news, though... HAY LUUK EYE STIL EKSIZT TWO

*ahem*

Sorry about that. I suspect the issue with DW is less that it’s dying (it may be, it may not – I stopped following it a loooooong time ago) and more that the current news crew is, how you say, a bit less self-motivated.

At least you still get news, though…

I'm 13 years old and I freaking love it! I love source ports, I love WADS, I love online play, I love WAD making, I love everything about this "old game". Besides, if Doomworld dies someone will simply put up a new site that operates similar to Doomworld! Don't ever say Doom is dead or I'll BFG you!>:) Doom has lots of fresh blood!

Just on Doom Wad Station alone we reviewed more than 50 Doom2 maps and those were only ones that were submitted for review. That doesn't count for the dozens(hundreds?) that are submitted to the archives alone. I think Doomworld is definitely lacking in motivation as to news and /newstuff but other than that it could still be the fine old man of the Doomworld that it has always been.
