on the longhouse

My mental health is actually fine for the amount of adversity I have to face. You'd collapse like a deck of cards were you in my place.

Also I had to remain here because some people politely asked me so through PM, when I considered to leave. Just because opposition to me is vocal doesn't me there aren't people who are interested in me staying. These people just don't see the future of doomer boards as being in danger, or maybe they don't believe speaking out can force 40oz to reconsider his actions and are willing to tolerate what they think are "minor" restrictions.

In case ban happens, reach me out on doomhaven.proboards.com It is a small forum as of yet, but vigilantdoomer there is me, and that's what matters now.

P.S. The blocklist is far smaller than half of even the active part of forum. Whose sanity really needs checking?

@vigilantdoomer out of curiosity, have any of my previous incarnations been in your blocklist?

Can everyone just stop giving this guy attention... Imo it would be funnier than to ban him. Just don't engage with him.

Mentioning one's fucking ignore list every three posts as some sort of threat might be the most pathetic, attention-seeking behaviour I've ever seen. Jesus fuck man, get laid or something. Coming from me that really means something.

Also telling the ADMINISTRATOR OF THE FORUM what the forum is "SUPPOSED TO BE" is... Man I don't even know what it is. Can someone who's good with words give it a name?

I seriously think we have another SArais here, btw.

@vigilantdoomer
I daresay you have the technical means to establish your own forum where you can administer it according to your political beliefs. But I think a better way is to make peace with 40oz, unblock everyone on your block list (because I think you're isolating yourself). I think your current behavior is making things worse for you.

Is the main cause of your grief being that you need a place to vent your frustration and anger? That this was taken away by 40oz canning the DW thread?

Yeah, I don't get the blocking several people and declaring it multiple times, and 40oz. has been reasonable even if I don't agree with everything.

Kvsari is talking some sense here. But it seems Vigilant has clearly stated that the main cause of his grief is living under a regime at war clamping down which has a lot of similarities to woke regimes clamping down and he feels sandwiched between the two with this being his one safe haven beginning to get eroded away by encroachment of such. I can see what he's saying about how it always starts in similar ways that he can see, and fell for before when younger.  I think the severity of the external examples and what's happening in real life right around him is causing overreaction to however slight anything is here. Like I mentioned earlier, the topic with the real meat (especially page 61 of it) is still out in plain view and not locked. The topic that is moved and locked, just visible to registered members, was just a new one someone started to try to get the original huge happenings topic back to positive developments after DW mod shenanigans took center stage.

Well, it's not easy. It will take work to design and test.

I'm also not really that interested in adding redundant stuff to the forum that only one person will use. I already didn't really vet how many people would use, say the anime subform. It takes up front-page space and it is almost never used. before I added it, I thought that learning about people's anime interests might foster ideas for doom projects but that didn't really happen. I don't really watch anime so I don't have anything to add there. I was hoping for people that wanted it that they would take the lead on expanding it to something worth reading. despite how many people use anime characters for avatars, it seems they really don't feel the need to talk about it, so it just kind of sits there unused. I don't really see the need to create an extended super-off-topic subforum for people who want to evade rules that aren't really being enforced in the first place. If it's a subforum where people are just allowed to say what they want when they want, wouldn't you have to deal with exactly what you're dealing with here; people who disagree with you?

perhaps you could just start a group private message to include all the people you are interested in talking to about a particular topic. (all the active members you've accounted for that are not on your block list.) That way you are safe from oversight and people debating you and asking you provocative questions. Wouldn't that achieve basically the same thing you're asking for? You already have the ability to do that yourself. why does it have to be me that creates a subforum for what you want?

If you want to make doomer boards into Doomworld 2, you will have to do it without me, 40oz.

I see little value in remaining on this board when the only topic that you can freely talk about is Doom. I was never banned on Doomworld, and can very well create my account there. It wouldn't make any difference me being there rather than here, and it will allow me to communicate with greater amount of people (Doomworld people are fine, it's staff that is fucked). There are no positive sides that doomer boards - in its present state - has over doomworld.

To those "in the tank": I will not be contributing anything to this forum. Let's see how you enjoy the company of each other. I see you are already doing "good", what with quality members deleting their accounts one more time, while the crappy ones resurface or become more vocal than ever. I hope the crappy ones will see my exodus as a victory and will post EVEN MORE. Their nauseauting presence will prove my point better than my words.

Well the most high quality member we've had deleted his account explicitly because of you, so... bon voyage lmao.

Who was this? Just wondering cause like, if it wasn't for how 40oz himself pushed back on vigilantdoomer's posts and behavior I don't think I'd have signed up. As it is I really only wanted to find a community where I can discuss level design and participate in group projects, I'm not really looking for a forum where I can discuss current events and shit because I can find that everywhere else.

There's nothing wrong with that segfault. But i, for example, couldn't care less for those specif things you seek here. They're not that interesting to me. To give proper merit where is deserved: discussing and tutoring mapping or level design is probably the best thing that DW can offer to someone interested. IMO Community projects might be the least interesting Doom material available out there. Haven't played a new one in quite some time. I prefer to experience a more personal take on mapsets, rather than group efforts (if that makes sense) - so i can delve deep into the author's creative process and see the unity behind the progression of his work. Different strokes for different folks as they say.

If it wasn't for the coexistence between forty & vigilante, i think that i would never sign up here in the first place. My beloved essay writter is just going a little bananas right now. It will pass. But i would cut him some slack if i were you. Not having a proper place to discuss politics can pile up a lot of shit on someone's head. I have places where i can discuss such things in my native language. But not everyone has that or feel safe to do so.


_{edit: typos and shit}

Just finished kuchitsu (started playing the wad on hearing this). Must say, if I can channel a little bit of Memfis in my mapping my DBP submissions will be all the much better.
