Glad to meet you again Death! Quaddicted was created with this specific objective in mind, and yes fortunately I've recovered most of the precious data after the HDD failure. I'm not sure if SSDs would do the justice for me, since I have a ton of files in my Hard-Drive :P

That was a novelty for me as well, from what I've heard from both NetQuake and Quakeworld players. I suppose it involves the way items are placed in their respective places. The Red Armor for example, one can just maintain control over this sector or the Megahealth teleporter room(I am more into SP than DM though so you correct me here.)

You got an point here, I myself on the glory days tried create an "Enforcer Laser mod" which ended out being just an swap of the Nailgun's Nails to the Enforcer Laser's projectile :P I have an ton of user made contents on my Quake folder, both old-school and new. It's interesting to try them out, I have some personal favorites as well.

As for source port taste, I can see why you'd like to play Quake without known modern engines. And you're not alone here as well, I know myself some members of our community that enjoy playing Quake at it's original form(Including me as well!). I use Quakespasm mostly because while it removes some limits from the original release it also maintains the original feeling. I myself can't enjoy Darkplaces it feels quite different from other engines, but that's expected I use it mainly for graphics mods released by the community.

I can see your point, I have retired for a little from my work at Quaddicted and left that for some well respected members from the community. Due to some personal life problems and overall lazyness)

Exactly this, I try to respond as much as possible before posting in an conversation. When I lost my reply, I basically lost my motivation to do it again due to frustation, I just needed some time again.

Indeed, this brings me an familiar Doom Wikia "feel" since over that there's even documentation for the most obscure WADs, as said before it's something that I was searching for in an site like this one.

Glad! Your consideration is very welcome for me and the entired Quaddicted community! Oh and we already have time machines, but currently it's available only for the virtual world :P go here for just an random trip to 2005!: https://web.archive.org/web/20050321173327/http://www.quaddicted.com/ I think you'd already know it but you can look how I did administrate the site back in 2005 :P

No worries! I've already got over that, just needed an time to speed-type once again :P Thanks for understanding) Oh and yes, Wikia has an quite bad reputation at some games because of that(Doom Wikia for example, I've heard there's also an legacy "Doom Wiki" because the wikia layout was quite restricting for them).

Very true indeed, I can see why Doom still has more players than the entire Quake series. Doom has aged quite well due to its cartoony graphics(I've seen some Doom players call Quake too "brown" :P), but also because it popularized the FPS genre, Doom was also known for its Singleplayer while Quake for its Multiplayer. Quake on the other hand has fewer amount of players because while it had revolutionary graphics for its time, it still looked like an "improved 3D Doom" the Multiplayer was Quake's main selling point unfortunately, now we only have hopes that another "Quake 1 Styled" sequel is made, I would really love to see that in action. But unfortunately we have another Quake III Arena game, it's not too bad though I liked the lore behind the character and I liked the homage to previous games in the series. I do think as well that it got foreshadowed by other games, that is not good news. Fortunately Doom 2016 filled the Singleplayer action we wanted, but I would love to see that happen to Quake as well!

Yes from what I've heard its still on early development but it already has some cool stuff there and there, I can hope they get to their objective.(Played at the NewDM server and meet Mr.Burns there telling about the project) I just hope that the Quake fandom can stay up for many years to come.

No problem about that quirk :P I am back to the action! As an final standing point, I wish you Good Work and Good Luck for your work, keep it up!

Kind Regards.
