I've been off the grid for a while, so everything in the Doom news section is pretty old which sucks.
I've been told that some people find that Doom News is pretty cool when it is active. I'd like to keep it going but its a lot of manual labor on my part to go seeking news out, so I'm kind of on the fence about scrapping it.
Ideally I'd like to have at least one new news thing a week. If this can't be maintained, it makes the site look defunct. I could use some extra volunteers if anyone is up for it.
Basically I created a little private group to reference anything new that has happened recently, either officially by bethesda/idsoftware or anywhere in the community. I don't really have any quality measures about what qualifies as news (yet) so honestly Doom news can be anything from "hey this person made a new video and I thought it was cool" to "this community project in progress looks interesting" to "this forum drama happened and it looks crazy"
Basically just come up with 1-2 sentences about what it is or what you predict will happen, plus some form of media such as a link or some images and I'll post it up. The private group is really just for doing a quick quality check to see if the links are working and sentences are spelled correctly/grammatically correct.
If that sounds like something you'd be willing to do for the good of the Doom community, reply here or send me a PM and I can set you up with what you need to do that.

Might be easier to just look at the regular /vr/ Doom/Retro FPS thread which is refreshed with 'news' updates and copy those

yeah, Doom News was great, thank you for it! and i hope that it will be revived.
sorry for not being able to participate. but one of the reasons why i love Doom News is because i don't have enough time to read much internets, alas. so i was happy to exploit you and your free time. ;-)
also, maybe just ask to PM you with anything that looks like news, no special group? i don't think that you will be overwhelmed by messages (which may be both good and bad depending of PoV ;-), and it will be much easier to send a "newsworthy" things.
we just need something like permanent announcement: "if you know something interesting to share, consider sending PM, please, so it could be a Doom News article!" i believe it would be good to stick this to the top of the forum, because people tend to forget about things all the time. so small remainder will help.
just my 2 pennies.
