DRD Team, after an exchange of the moderators and site's admin has decided that the rule braking sites are to be removed from DRD Team's server.
Those were the following sites:
That said, I'm also sad to announce Lexus Alyus, a member of DRD Team has quited Doom (as he has informed me) and most likely won't be present on our boards, or, at least, not as frequent as he used to. Wether his final project will be released or not is a matter of question. We will surely miss a great musician, though!
Those were the following sites:
- apothem.drdteam.org
- killingblair.drdteam.org
- kingofflames.drdteam.org
- solarsnowfall.drdteam.org
- lexusalyus.drdteam.org

I guess that could have been a little more insulting, if it were worded differently.Paul wrote:once the sites' managers have some REAL content to show with the next update...
You know that weather effects pack I put up has been used in at least one other released wad I know of, and is planned to be used in at least four other wads currently in production, and of those four, two are major projects. Exactly what criterea needs to be met for one to justly call their work 'REAL' content anyway?
I now realise my original webpage design was convoluted, making it a pain to update. So what I ended up with was a forum that was much more up to date than the actual site. Another problem is my lack of experience with php. This would have been rectified however, with a much more flexible web design, which I had uploaded in a special folder, awaiting an actual update to impliment. I would have just copied the information to and from, without having to worry about all the problems I would have had to work around before.
That being said, I have been working closely with the likes of bot Bio Hazard and Enjay for an up coming release. With the advent of GZDoom, and the simple fact that ZDoom has come so far, I was working on a pack of 'special effects' which includes several things mappers can use for more up to date and modern decoration of levels. This included 'particle' effects like realistic torches, sparks, fountains, smoke, a complete set of monster projectile replacements and a few other things that would greatly improve upon (that seems to be the general consensus of those I've been working with: See above) what mappers have available to them for our more modern source ports.
Sensing a bit of urgency in needing to update my site, I have been working quite feverishly on the first wad that will feature a portion of these. I would have gotten this done much sooner, but between working full time, and my work on ZDForumsDotWad, finding time has become difficult. I, in fact, had planned on updating the site on Sunday. But you know what? I couldn't get the wad up to 100%, and I wasn't about to update for some frivolous reason. So now we arrive at the current state of affairs...
But now I'm forced to question weather my efforts are even worth the trouble, if this isn't the kind of thing you consider 'REAL' content. Since my apparently insignificant content thus far doesn't pass muster, why should I think anything else I can do will? It's not like I'm maintaining a source port, or releasing my own applications, or working on KDIZD...
[edit] The sites removed weren't the only ones out of date...

Solar-you, most likely, were the guy with the most valuable content, therefor it has been moved from your site to the projects area. You've been warned on updating your site at least 2 times. Next time, tell us you have problems with management of the site and most likely the admin will help you set it up well and tell us if your real life is at real crisis (if it is) or ask for just another week. Really, we're not tyrants. You know where to get us, PM us for a chat on IRC, ICQ we got, drop us a mail. All can be talked over, unfortunately though, lacking a contact makes us feel like you didn't care.
You I'm looking forward to have back above other sites and my respect for your deeds in this community has never stopped growing, if I can soft the situation a bit and I always tought of you as an intelligent person, in comparsion to some other people.
In terms of lacking content I honestly meant KoF's and Killingblair's sites. Yours and Apothems (and Lexus's) had wads and proper contents for that matter. Lexus is out of the community so the reason is there. Apothem hasn't updated in a long time.
Really? Looks like something has gone messed up here Another conversation needed.. great. Perhaps it was the lack of contents on your site. Did you have anything besides words? That's a rule too please keep in mind.3 months? I just updated it last week, the What's New part of the site probably threw everybody off (Which I should have took Hobbs' advice and updated it)
Honestly, the situation can be redeemed with an update with contents (KoF, Killingblair) or just an update for sites that did have contents (Solar, Apothem) to bring you guys back online. I hope this situation will be more of a lesson to keep in touch with your friendly neighborhood DRD dudes
