Fuck, at least a heads up that he was dropping out would have been polite.

Too bad. Another doomer with an agreeable taste in music fades into the dust of the universe.
Seriously though, I didn't know RUSH that well personally, but I always found his temperament was level and posts insightful. Godspeed, man.

Too bad. He didn't seem like the type of person to put any weight on his internet presence. Maybe he said something stupid somewhere and he's on a delete fucking everything spree to cover up any inflammatory posts from the past that could be used against him.

Only if you allow this to have an impact on your offline life...which it really shouldn't. I mean, I don't hang out with my friends and suddenly start thinking about some rude shit someone online said or did. That would be unhealthy.

Never used "the" IRC, all I know is that 400% of drama happens there instead of in the open field.
I've always wanted to know what/who they discuss in there, I'm certain it is truly riveting...

I’m pretty sure they’re just discussing their latest crushes and which boy won’t date them, that kind of schoolyard thing.

I think it was either dew or esselfortium who once told me that they often "have a good laugh at [my] expense on IRC." So I am under the impression that they often go there to jerk eachother off after performing the forum flamewar equivalent of a bukkake on someone who has the audacity to share an opposing thought.

Talking smack in a private chat sounds like a pretty shitty thing to do IMO, way I see it is that if you're going to be a dick to someone then at least do it in front of them so you don't look like a coward mocking people in a private chat.
Seriously, people who are open with their cuntiness are more respectable then people who are cunts in the shadow (or, ideally, it'd be nice if those people were not cunts).
If the IRC is actually used for that shit then they've actually lost a little respect from me (Oh no, how will they ever recover from such a CRUSHING and DEVASTATING event!?! Doomers are surely DOOMED!).

Rush was actually a decent poster, it’s a shame to see him go.

I don't think it's Essel that said that.. that'd be out of character for him to say that.

^ 40oz told me that (confidential material in the spoiler!) essel and the gang do have a secret chat where they make fun of everything and everybody. 40oz was a part of it too, until he started, umm, "empathizing", and then he was kicked out. So it probably could've been Essel. Especially if you consider that it was said to Trace. :]

Doesn't matter who said it. What matters is that it happens and it sucks. But oh well. The world has nice people and mean people. Sometimes you have just got to deal with it.

Hold on, I'm confused here. Who are the nice people? Let's be honest, almost everyone here uses this forum to joke about what it is they dislike about doomworld. I think we all know that none us are perfectly guilt-free, clean-conscienced delicate little daisies. I've certainly done my share of mean-spirited posting, and I've seen you guys do it in varying measures too. When someone tries to hurt you, it's natural to want to bite back. You're not supposed to want to do that, but goddamn it if it doesn't feel right sometimes.

For me it is less about the bite back and more about the delivery.
If I told someone to go fuck themselves/mock them in a place they'll see it/can see it then that's fine (there's a somewhat infamous occurrence of me doing this, I'm sure someone remembers that fresh autism).
If I told others how much an individual can go fuck themselves/mock them in a place where they'll never see it (like a private chat) then I see that as cowardly.

I've heard legends of the IRC circlejerks for ages but have never seen one before. The only IRC I've ever been in was the one for Mutiny.

I'm becoming bored with internet communities. I still love doom but internet communities are getting tired for me. It seems like the Doom community is bound together more by the community and less for Doom, if that makes sense.
I'm always interested in reading more and more about editing and design but it seems like the amount of people still deeply interested in all of that are a pretty small minority anymore. There's plenty who have some small feedback to pitch in to my threads here and there but not as many willing to get deep into the research and slow thinking of it or entertain unusual ideas.
There has been times where I wanted to unplug my router because I find it much easier to talk to people naturally in my real life than it is to post in the presence of internet strangers, which used to be the complete opposite for me. Daily, I'm posting and reading Doom threads where so few people actually want to entertain the actual topic or answer the questions being asked. But when it's the opportunity to talk about yourself or about another person or group of people, the thread blows up real fast. (This goes for here and Doomworld)
I'm not saying I dislike you guys or anything, but I do wonder what it is that keeps drawing me back to here even though I rarely get anything positive out of it.

I'm not saying I dislike you guys or anything, but I do wonder what it is that keeps drawing me back to here I will take full responsibility for this. You come here because you don't want to miss one of those rare occasions where I shoehorn politics or race issues into a post. Serious note...I know what you mean. I have asked myself why I keep coming back and unless I have a project going on, it seems like I can't find any real reason outside of seeing if anybody inquired about where I've been. Basically, after Gore Prisons is done, I will probably be mostly absent from here until I think of another idea for a project.

Hmm, it's kind of hard for me to talk about editing and design in depth I guess. I think I don't have that many fleshed out theories in my head, instead there is a bunch of abstract preferences, which I can't normally explain and I'm probably not even consciously aware of. For me mapping is not a science at all, instead it's a chaotic process where the end result mostly depends on random ideas popping out of nowhere uncontrollably. A lot of my best designs happen by accident. Vanilla crashes if the player stands in this spot? Okay, let's put some decorations there to block him. Oh wait, they actually look really cool in that place and the way they limit maneuverability is so unique! That's how mapping works for me. So unfortunately I'm not well suited for extended discussions I suppose. Sometimes I can try to make generalized statements but I don't even fully believe in them myself.
