/vr/ - Retro Games

happy fifth anniversary, /doom/

>Golden Age of /doom/
when /doom/ first started, it was like a dream zone
coming over from /v/ and /vg/ but without the shittiness of either, /doom/ was a haven of inventive people getting together to have fun and make mods and play on servers. people loved doom, people loved playing doom, people loved modding doom, good shit all around. this was the era of samsara, of gmota, of burl tumd, of doombro.

>Silver Age of /doom/
a couple years in and /vr/ was well and truly into its groove at this point. 8ch grew in size and took a lot of people with it, so getting regular doom modding collabs/server collabs was difficult. a /vr/ irc was established in order to keep track of projects, servers, and contributing faggots, as well as have a general conversation chamber for when we go play something other than doom and want to do like gzdoom netplay or marathon or something. cuddlyzebesian is still a faggot. this was the era of the goddamn week-long saturday night survival where everyone played fucking alpha/delta survival invasion until the next sns.

>Dark Age of /doom/
/vr/ is no longer the sekrit club. because of our content creators, everyone knows about /vr/ and tries to come here because they can complain about wildweasel or something. dicsord came and destroyed skype, but irc was an unfortunate side casualty and scattered most people across the interwebs. moot fagged out and hiroshimoot took the reigns to dick things even further. everyone on the internet is a fucking wannabe politician. 4vr's and 8v's doom threads have been on a downward slump of content and discussion (>implying 8v ever made anything doom-related of note), but not unrecoverable

>The Future of /doom/
i suck dicks
like, eighty billion of them
also i dunno
i'm an optimist so things will probably get better
