It's more than just the game, at this point.
Rather, the communities like this are a congregation of like-minded mostly young males. I feel at home, expressing how I feel unfiltered, and I know it's "okay" with people here. It reminds me of how I act with my buddies I've known since high school. It has nothing to do with political or religious beliefs; it's beyond that. Because I know it's fairly diverse in regards to those issues. Rather, it's sort of a shared attitude or spirit that we have I feel, which transcends all of that.

It feels nice that you wrote that Kontra. I feel the same way. I got the message a few days ago that I'm now banned from Doomworld, and if I'm being honest, I feel so much freer now than I ever did before. I always imagined that losing my doomworld account would really fuck me over, but now that I think about it, I haven't been enjoying my experience with doomworld for a long time. All this means now is I won't have to deal with Linguica, dew, or esselfortium breathing down my neck anymore. Like... ever. That part of my life is over now and it feels amazing. I can do whatever the fuck I want now.
I hope other Doomers see it the same way we do. I sympathize with those who are afraid to sign up here because they feel they'd be betraying the trust they have with their doomworld friends. It shouldn't have to be that way. We just want a fun place to hang out. That's what we've always wanted. Doomworld just isn't that place anymore.

What did they ban you for? Or do they even need a reason anymore?

I like it here, I feel as though we can be more open and understanding here, say what we want about anything we want (to a certain degree I'm sure) without being shut down but also not unchallenged (unlike how other places feel as of now).

Well said, @contracommando! I agree wholeheartedly. ... So the pissdrinking deadbeats booted you at last, 40oz? My first thought was to tell you that I was sorry to hear that, but then I agree with what you just wrote. Let them rot in the shithole they built. A sincere "fuck you with a rusty dagger up the arse" goes out to any Doomworld faggot who reads this message.

I guess I like it here, although I don't really feel like being branded a "white male" or something that sounds so 2016-2018. If anything, I see yall like posters who feel comfortable on this website, instead of being pent up and ready to attack on any other website. Bringing politics and basically anything modern and toxic into this... community... makes it less appealing, I have to say.
Yeah, I guess I like it here, even though I am not booted off Doomworld yet. I see all of these inter-site dramatic situations to be nothing more than hot garbage; instead the appeal of each of these sites and/or communities by default is just with its size: Doomworld is fucking massive. Not to mention how many old school veterans are ready to pop out of the ground like a geyser and spread fire-hot jets of water at other users, just at any moment. Sometimes I am afraid of starting threads in fear of having some old-school smelly geezer popping out and destroying my thread and my point by reusing the same quotes everyone else already said. I kinda wanna discuss stuff, and have people think, but it is simply too large and ancient to engage without a HAZMAT team and a excavation party.
Meanwhile Doomer Boards is a smol cute community, whoms've members feel warm and comfortable engaging in, nearly everyone is of same age and similar background, and anyone poking out of the equation is more interesting and brings variation into it. I guess we got too much comfortable that other communities see Doomer Boards as a "group consisting of alt-right memers" despite having one of the members in it (me) being apolitical as fuck and only caring about fandomy shit and "deep art".

I don't share this mindset, but it's nice to see that people are coming together.

This place feels more like a forum than Doomworld nowadays. When topics get brought up, we get vantage points from others, but there's no escalation into fights or stupid circlejerk shit. That's how a forum should be. Opinions will be different, no need to get rustled over someone else's viewpoints whenever you see them all the time.
Though I do want to keep my DW account, since I haven't really done anything really bad and I plan to keep it that way. Plus I get along well with many of the non-circlejerk members on the site.

DW is a nice place, the problem are some people who seem to just love spamming with shitty threads and a few others who love writing walls of text over nothing. I know, I sometimes write walls of text and spam as well, but hey, I think you know what I mean here. And I thought I was bored, well, apparently not. This also seems to be a much less populated forum as well, so maybe that plays a role, along the members who are the most active.

I always envisioned this place being like ECW, and Doomworld being like WWF.

Oh don't mind me, just a random internet guy who is a member of the Doomer Boards and DW. Heh, I just thought it strange to sign up to a forum which has about ten active members without any attempt at an introduction. Same goes for the other new "recruits". No offense intended.

Well honestly considering that the vast majority seem to be members of DW as well I just saw no purpose since they already know me. I also have a pretty detailed description of myself on my DW profile so yeah, whoever wants to know some things about me can just go check that out.

Either way, agent6 .. please do stay a while, it's nice to have people that are not exclusive to either forum, your posts and taste in music are both pretty solid as well. :) A sincere "fuck you with a rusty dagger up the arse" goes out to any Doomworld faggot who reads this message. rofl, I think they read your post cuz your account is now banned. I managed to not get banned yet, hopefully I stay long enough to post my Heretic mapset there.

Seems a bit petty to overwatch another forum to ban people for posts on a different forum but I suppose open hostility could be a justifiable reason to ban.

rofl, I think they read your post cuz your account is now banned. Haha, I suppose I did get my point across (hyuk hyuk!). I don't mind, since I'm really tired of their hypocrisy, and I'd rather not be part of a site where the more vocal members are openly perverse. I managed to not get banned yet, hopefully I stay long enough to post my Heretic mapset there. You should be all right as long as you don't criticize the ruling party. While they certainly can do whatever they like with their site, as they are paying for it, DW really became similar to a police state if you think about it.

I don't mind, since I'm really tired of their hypocrisy, and I'd rather not be part of a site where the more vocal members are openly perverse. Yeah the hypocrisy and elitism is fucking awful but don't you dare point it out m8.. I got piled on yesterday and got called a white supremacist and Nazi sympathizer for telling someone that he has no right to preach about empathy if in the same thread he's LARPing about killing (!!!) Sargon of Akkad and justifying a meme that led to everyone with a MAGA hat getting beaten up. By all means, LARP about violence and killing people, undermine political discourse even more... but don't hold a flower in the other hand and pretend you're the pinnacle of empathy and enlightenment and that you hold the key of understanding. I really didn't expect other forum members to double down on his stance and defend it.. if I knew I was taking an extremist position I wouldn't have posted, tbh. haha I get that An_mutt's a sperg that shifts the goal posts and when he's proven wrong by evidence he yells out hyperbole and condescension which is good and all if it was backed up by anything other than impotent rage instead of trying to actually debunk an argument.. but yakfak is something else and looks like she's trying to play some cringey 4d conservapwnage chess game that she doesn't know is so completely transparently bad faith to anyone that's not a part of a cult (or has watched an omni_destiny debate) with how she not only builds strawmen but tries to get her opponent to double down on them and defend a position he might not necessarily have (it mostly works when you're in a debate where neither opponent wants to cede any ground, it was used on Jordan Peterson during an interview and in response he took a step back and slowed the conversation down.. it was used on JonTron and he walked into it with his pants on his head, haha).. like, I think she tried to bait me into infantalizing or commenting on the Charletsville incident (when the fact that she even brought it up in the first place was to try infantalize violence on the right, because it's clearly a competition), implied I agreed with Milo just because I took someone else up on their "citation needed" by posting the most clearcut raw footage I could find (when I never said anything about being a fan), implied I was playing devil's advocate to hide my true intentions and that I'm trying to honeybadger everyone into becoming a deluded white supremacist (like me obviously) when I never expressed one political idea in said thread, said I have suspicious opinions if I agreed with Milo (>implying I follow him)... and she's is so fucking deluded that she thinks raw unedited footage of someone getting hit with a bikelock and of girls wearing MAGA hats getting assaulted and pepper sprayed is misleading because the footage was mirrored by an account with a watermark at the bottom left of the screen that she didn't like. Everything she does is to try paint some picture of someone who is some sort of villain who only thinks of bad things, I don't wake up in the morning and think "oh what was I thinking before I went to sleep? oh yeah I was thinking about how much I hate [protected group], lets carry on thinking that!", when I saw the post I responded to I didn't think "lets convert someone to hatred!" I thought "Wow this is actually pretty scary"... like fucking hell.. I don't think anyone else here wakes up thinking bad thoughts... but my stance on killing people and beating them up is highly suspicious.. rofl Thread was deleted before I could reply with something like "holy shit, just look at my original point of contention, if you want my political beliefs so badly why don't you just ask me.. what the hell is wrong with you? slow down!", so I feel like I have to address some of it here. ;P

It's a bit funny, now we've given the mustache-twirling wankers something to get mad about again, since they've thoroughly sanitized Doomworld to the point of there being no discourse, no interest, and absolutely no opinions. Just people like an_mutt, foaming at the vag whenever his handlers decide to let him loose. Now all they can do is come here and ban members across both forums because, well we have to justify that REALLY steep 300 dollar new forum fee somehow. So predictable. Ling should have bought a fleshlight or two and fucked off, would have saved a lot of trouble.

I was hoping someone else was noticing this. I've only been checking doomworld maybe once a week lately. THERE IS LITERALLY NOTHING GOING ON OVER THERE. It's amazing really, that so many people have fit themselves into a mold with minimal deviation. You could strip everyone of their names and avatars and you wouldn't be able to tell anyone apart. I really hope more people use this forum to talk about themselves and their personal interests in more detail. It saddens me to know that almost all other avenues of the internet have boxed people in to think that's unwanted or spammy. I like knowing what people are all about and everyone should be more vocal about that.
