While we were talking about the reasons for the shutting down, one of the older members said something very true:

Contemporary games don't have the weight that the older ones have.

What do you do with modern shooters? You play them once or twice and then move on to something else. Whereas old classics like Doom and Quake are still played nowadays, high-quality new levels and mods are still made and released, and source ports are constantly developed. There are active communities. And the people in them form some kind of connection among each other - you can see it on this Wiki as well :)
