Glad to meet you as well Spirit, your site is no less of a massive accomplishment. To categorize things as well as you have, to upkeep such a database, is quite the impressive task. Thank you very much for all the compliments. I put my all into trying to detail things as accurately as I can. I am absolutely glad the effort is recognized and liked.

You are quite right. I lament the loss of the hundreds of sites that have gone down. While Doom has been pretty well maintained, it seems Quake exists in bits and fragments. Sites like Quaddicted and here are important since they are the main places preserving the information of the past.

I am a bit insane, but my particular mindset is that even the worst level is worth checking out. I mean, I don't usually feel that way while playing the level mind you, but I am of the mindset that every little bit of content is important and should be preserved. This is pretty much the only way I can work my way through an endless stream of generic multiplayer levels with only the occasional thing to shoot at :P

Yes, I have noticed such reviews as well, I have often checked the review pages out of curiosity to see how they aligned with my thoughts. As for Basic Castle, I was wondering if the file there and the file I have were slightly different, or if perhaps this was a case of source port differences. This is actually what inspired this line on the page "While there are alleged cases of people brute forcing their way past this part, no evidence exists, and success might occur when using some third party Source port.". I am willing to check it out if new evidence is provided, but I have tried following the procedure outlined (getting pushed by the door) in both GLQuake and DOSQuake without success.
