Because we can. We've been at it for 7 years and we're not going anywhere.

Sorry bud, but if you don't like it, you're the one who has to leave. /vr/ is our home

this never happened, it's simply a matter of doom being retro

there are numerous generals on this board, /rhg/, /shmupg/, /diablo/, hell, there even was a JRPG general for a bit
it's become clear that generals are allowed on /vr/ as well, as long as they stay retro

Why do you waste your time?

Are there people who still seriously do that? Especially at this stage where there's already plenty of generals on /vr/.

/vg/ is the worst fate. Even the most vidya-related generals get bumped off due to the lack of interest. It's like the people who crosslink to /vg/ haven't even been there and just wince at the sight at the word 'general'. What the fuck else are we going to talk about, more /v/, /pol/, /int/, or /tv/ crossboard crap?

/doom/ was on /vg/ prior to /vr/'s creation and it was dead as fuck. The /v/ gauntlet suffered the same problem.

Here's a post from when moot was still around

>These generals are using /vr/ as a safe haven because they're afraid of getting swallowed up by the speed of /vg/
Which they will. It's almost like you're against retro vidya discussion on a retro vidya board. Check the image, bro.

The dying Doom generals on /vg/ migrated to /vr/ shortly after its inception and moot's been fine with them ever since, so Doom has been on this board since day one and will likely stay. I like to think that these and /vr/ gauntlet threads have played a part in making /vr/ survive its trial as well.

As for /doom/'s popularity, it's a mix of reasons

>Brutal Doom going viral in and reviving interest in Doom 1/2 and being a gateway to other neat mods
>/vr/ being responsible for a fair share of original content such as Samsara, pol.wad, and HDoom, possibly outdoing /v/-related projects and rivaling some other generals; in other words shit gets done
>Gets more /v/irgins and /vr/etards into Doom
>Also makes them realize that the modding community has survived over 20 years of entire game franchises and a subpar sequel
>Most modern shooters are shit
>It's motherfucking Doom

I agree! They are. Here's one relevant at the moment.
