I didn't think it was still being worked on!
Someday I will make a drake map... 

drake the type of mod to put a hundred monsters in a secret area 

I found a doom2 map I searched for years in my lost waist jar.

Only a slight memory from times I hadn't internet and just had finished the first Quake1 episode. Anything that would relate to quake I would have commit a murder, so while playing Doom2 I came to a map that didn't work.

I got so angry with it that I used wad2map to convert it to quake.
That didn't work as the map was much bigger the old Qmap could have.
I'm talking about '96, so imagine a new quake level would cherrish my day.
I went on as the damn map had blistering microbrushes and qmap really got sick loading the wrenched doom map, so I had to cutaway most of the part.
Only thing I remembered is that remained a strange map of an illustrious wide space with a shape of an ammonite and a large winding antenna, and a circulair stair going down.
It looked so science fictional I couldn't imagine people were able to build such things.

Now it's almost twenty years later and the memory of it never lingered, I knew there was a time I had this strange map. I also knew I wouldn't find it anywhere after that time, so I searched my BBS files for months.
It just didn't excist.

Well, I gave up. It was just an empty heap in my memory, I must have maken a mistake.

I started again some months ago, and after working on a huge amount of bbs doom levels I found it. It was a map of the USS Enterprice, that was so dammaged while cutting of brushes, it made me walk through a dreamland then.

I play lots of maps these days, and I'm surprised how a memory can change in years.
But it's defenitly the map I was searching.

Hey.., you Eastern Rabbit! 

yeah, i had the same thing with another doom2 map. ended up being much worse than I remembered it... i need better rose tinted glasses. 

well played 

I bet MadFox could translate American Pie with no problems at all ;) 

i wonder if i should close this thread for a while since this one spammer is so persistent. 

 

I suggest "Louis Vuitton" being in a post should prevent the post from being made at all. 

Maybe just make a new General Abuse, hide this one for regular view for awhile, and see if it still gets spam 

Don't allow posts unless you're logged in? Seems simple enough. 

Does it maybe have a common user agent? Otherwise maybe add a random question about quake as captcha. Please don't disable unregistered posting. 

Otherwise maybe add a random question about quake as captcha

"What is the percentage difference between the width of the Shambler skin texture in qtest, versus the width of the Shambler skin texture in the released game"

"Well errr..."

"DIE, NON-QUAKE-PLAYING SCUM" 

"Please don't disable unregistered posting."

What's the value vs the annoyance of the spam? Just curious... 

Unregistered posting is a hallmark of these forums (even back in the qboard and qmap days), allowing at least some semi-anonymous posting, it would be a shame to lose it.

A standard captcha for unregistered posting should be fine though. I don't like Quake questions as a spam discouragement though, it just means you have to come up with a series of seemingly simple questions that will easily be googled and the entire set memorized by our spammer, and only really discourage casual or non Quake fans from posting. 

lunaran.com has admitted one spam post in the last 12 years, with no accounts and no captchas. I obfuscate the shit out of the form by labeling fields with random strings hashed out of the php session id, so bots can't learn what fields to auto-populate with what data, or how to reliably submit the form. I also did some other skullduggery with faking HTTP_POST response codes or something or other so that bots don't get the right feedback if a post was successful or not. 

I also visited a guy's website once who said he eliminated 99% of spam with a 'captcha' that was just "what does this say?" followed by a .jpeg of the word 'orange' that never changed. spammers don't bother running the OCR captcha-guessers unless there's a real profit in the cpu time spent, ie wardialing Ticketmaster or something. 

Then I remembered a website from Mike, before he signed off,
that had real shoes with fins growing out of them.
The fact they were not webbed still worries my imagination.

How can someone wear goggles without forgetting his webs
on a website?
