is you don't want one who is strong enough to wack you with just one blow while you are sleeping. She gets that confessional, guilt ridden call from her sister at 3:00 am, it's lights out for you, buddy. 

The mysteries of the name "HeadThump" are made clear. 

Does anybody know why there are no posts since Apr 24th? As far as I can see, I'm logged in with the new system. 

Your right aguire. I was (I should say forced) logged into the new system as well. And as far as I can see, there are no posts in any topics after April 24th. Weird, but then again its PlanetQuake so I'm not surprised much. 

from Gamespy may shed some light:

Dear ForumPlanet Member,

A few weeks ago we alerted every ForumPlanet user about our
upcoming forum system upgrade and the requirement to move to
unique nicknames across the ForumPlanet boards system. You are
receiving this email because our records indicate you have yet
to go through the steps we outlined in order to secure a unique
nickname for your login.

On May 3, 2007 we will be switching over to required unique
nicknames for all users. Members who have not yet secured their
unique nickname will be automatically assigned one by the system.
We want you to be able to pick your unique name, so please take
this moment to secure your nickname by following this procedure:

1. Go to http://login.forumplanet.com and Logout.
2. Once logged out, choose Login
3. If you have a unique nickname already, you will not be
required to do anything further -- congrats!
4. If your account does not have a unique nickname or your
choice is taken, you will be redirected to a page where you can
manually enter a new one or use one of the suggested nicknames
we supply.

Thank you,
ForumPlanet Team 

of the new login system, but surely there must be more than me that actually changed to the new system? Well, now there's Orl and me ... ;)

Maybe there are tech problems they're not telling us. Rust has also been almost dead for a long time, sad to see .. 

but all I get is a message on 6 May that is scrambled. I mean the "ingame proposal" in the Quake1 mapping discussion. 

Over at Ars Technica:

With useful pointers and a decent clarification of the system.

Hadn't heard of this site before - I'm now a fan.

Ok so I just got a new rig (well newer than my old one...) and I cant get Quake to install on XP. Anyone out there know of a not too extravagant custom engine that I can just drop the pak files into? Ive got Armagon & Dissolution Id like to replay as well. 

... FitzQuake. It is THE reference on func_

Ill give it a shot. 

is a little fog. Seen some screenshots of an addon/mod that had some nice fog effects. Nehahra?) Still I am not complaining, Fitz delivers the best visual quality Quake Ive ever seen. Now to try installing the mission packs! 

if the maps have it :)

also, aguire's engines are very very good, there is standard gl and nehahra versions.

I was just checking out Nehahra's website looks like a nice mod I will be sure to get it. Im not into DM like I used to be but I still enjoy the hell out of some SP action. At one time I had something along the lines of 350-400 DM/CTF/TF maps on my HD. And probably a third that in SP maps. Its going to be fun digging all those up again!

Shame it's an mmo that nobody will play (I bet). 

tons of quality sp has been released in recent years, thanks to the guys who frquent this board.

Check out the sites teamshambler and underworldfan for them.

Also, I dont have a link because func wont let me load "view all threads" but starbuck released excellent higher resolution base textures that work with both fitzqauke and aguire's engines. 

The monsters look cool. The rest don't really excite me though. I guess I'll just have to wait for Romero's Slipgate MMO. 

for ijed's previous quake sp Maelstrom? I couldnt find it in the news archive and cant remember if I've played it.
