"DB are the only ones in a war with Troonworld"
If criticizing Troonworld openly means war, then sure, DB and KF are the only ones fighting it, but i'm pretty sure we're not the only ones who dislike the state of the community as a result of the people in charge of the biggest Doom forum. The fact that the majority of the community spends more time on Discord and a lof (if not most) CPs are being developed there, speaks volumes. No one can convince me that fucking Discord is a more convenient and better place for CP development. It's a fucking nightmare to do anything there.
Again, what these retards fail to realize is the very simple truth - most communities outside Troonworld, want to stay in good terms with them so they can use them as a platform for project releases. If there was an equally popular alternative, Doomworld will die a quick death unter their curent regime.
Do you think the Russian Community gives a shit, or want to be friends with the fucking troons in charge? Some of their more prominent members are either banned or blacklisted by the troons already. Even on Troonworld there are many silent critics, who don't speak up for the same reasons . I think it's obvious when you see how little activity there is for a forum with 40 thousand registered users. What do you think is the actual number of active users right now? And i don't mean active as users who login on regular basis, i mean users who actually post and engage in discussions. All i see are the same 100 or so names every day, and a lot of newly registered nobodies, most of which make a few posts, maybe drop a shittry "first map" and then disappear, never to be seen again. I'm not sayng only a 100 registered viewers visit the forum, no, there are thousands of them, but they don't post... that doesn't look like a very healthy forum/community to me. Even those who don't give a crap about what's going on, have no reason to be active, because Doomworld is fucking boring and souless, and again, who's to blame for that?
