Since I wouldn't want to organist it all myself, I have decided that I am not organizing QExpo 2016. I will work on my own projects and that's it.

I offer hosting (OpenVZ container) and pointing the domain somewhere (not for "QIN" for obvious reasons). You will have to show me a proper plan and "architecture". Otherwise I will simply put up archives of the old QExpos at the domain and that's it. 

But I understand. 

So it looks there won't be any Qexpo2016... sigh
However I don't know if could have finish my works for that date :) 

it's a lot of work, definitely not something i would want to do.

i'll still try to get something out around june though... 

+100 to Spirit

I think Spirit does more than enough already. 

 

Do you still help him out, I take it? 

He 'assists' me 'manually as we say in Germany. ;););)

I have 3 of the good old rusty Quake runes left if someone wants to run contests. 

A prize for past offenders if they manage not to put URLs in post titles for one year?

Seriously though, it's a damn shame that the community is not going to do some coordinated events for Quake's anniversary. Maybe it doesn't have to be something as ambitions as a QExpo. I'm still down for TB2 release in June, and it appears that others are doing stuff also. Maybe we can do something smaller that causes less work for everyone? In the very least, we could set up a blog that highlights the anniversary related stuff that's happening. 

I vote we make a chain episode, nothing hyper detailed.

I have a few maps that are finished for my episode that I can contribute.

I also have a couple of big maps that should be done for the quake anniversary 

But also having some extra publicity would be nice. 

I would love to win another Quake rune, just so I can show Frik at the office that I'm one-up on him.

That would be glorious ... 

Chain episode sounds nice. 

I don't mind plugging on my tumblr but there's nothing to plug yet :P

It's an image-centric site and even a logo would help with links to whatever forum to organise stuff. Honestly I feel the Quake community is stupidly fragmented compared to Doom (which just has Doomworld mostly). It makes it hard to be organised. 

one more vote.

Also one more vote to Baker:

+100 to Spirit

I think Spirit does more than enough already.

Romero

Don't seem to keep hard feelings about Quake, he twitted about 20 years of QTest these days. He'll probably mention something about 20 years of Quake as well. He should know about QExpo at some point. 

We could create Patreon for someone who will organize QExpo. 

visited some of the old sites. Does anyone know if the files for arcade quake from qexpo 2008 are available somewhere? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3J6fVLnEPxU

I have almost the whole directort of QExpo2008 & 2010.
Me idiot, more than 11.4 Gb.

Vote for QuakeExpo2010! 

I ment 2016. 

I wrote to Romero a while after he made his Doom map with some comments on his maps in Doom and Quake and asking if he would ever make a Quake map again. He said he was too busy with his upcoming FPS, but yeah he would probably be interested to hear about a new QEXPO. I still find his original idea for Quake interesting and his maps some of the best. 

Gimme dat! I mean could you please upload the source package for arcade quake somewhere? 

Arcade quake? Isn't that Quake Team Arena?
