#Quake1 is a new channel on the QuakeNet IRC network, for everything Quake 1.

QuakeNet has clan channels, tourney channels, site channel, project channels... But no unifying Quake 1 channel, which a number of us think is a shame because the sub-communities have a lot to offer the greater Quake 1 community that often goes unnoticed.

NetQuake, QuakeWorld, Quake-based standalone games, multiplayer, singleplayer, fragging, tricking, mapping, modelling, skinning, coding, demos, videos, competition, recreation, commentary, humour, art... Anything Quake 1 goes.

There's a ServeMe in there for QW action, and until there is a need otherwise (ie: anti-social idiots), all visitors are given ops and encouraged to use the topic for news.

So what are you waiting for? Reach out and touch someone in #Quake1 today!

since (almost?) all ppl who play quake1 is playing quakeworld we have #quakeworld,
so why start new one ?

I was expecting this:

Because the Quake sub-communities (eg: QW, mappers, NA/AU) have a lot to offer the greater Quake community.

#quakeworld is owned by ParadokS, who has made it no secret that he isn't at all interested in:

Anything but QW
International Quake
Map source files

and so on. #quake1 isn't an ad for my interest (eg: Besmella) either; Any Quake 1 person is free to promote whatever they want, which often has something to offer Quake 1 in general, not just a specific sub-community.

Anyone is free to register on the forums, plz do that!

I did!

Unfortunately however, my password stopped working. Thanks to Sassa though, who has fixed it.

what is international quake ?

what do you mean with 'anything but QW' ?
why should a qw-channel take intrest in anything but qw ? there are alot of channels for other things but qw

International Quake is just that, interaction of people from all over, be it playing, organising to play, chat, help, promoting random Quake stuff, whatever.

I'm not saying a QW channel should be more than QW at all - I'm pointing out to tumult how #Quake1 differs from #quakeworld.

i was that guest..
anyway.. is there anyone left playing quake1 ? is there a scene.. ?

Well and truly, but it's not just about playing, just as the QW community isn't just about playing (eg: engine projects, this very forum...). There's players (eg: Singed), lots of engine/gamecode modders (QuakeSrc/QuakeDev), maps (Func_Msgboard), tricking (Speeddemosarchive) and other great Quake stuff around that goes relatively unmentioned in QW circles.

thats what i mean..
why start #quake1 when we have #quakeworld ?
just wierd thinking to me..

Didn't I just answer that?? #quakeworld is Euro-QW. #quake1 is anything QW, be it Europe/the world, QW/NetQuake. It's a pretty clear distinction.

now thats wrong!
#Quakeworld is all about Quake1, its about mapping/clients/tourneys etc, its not just Paras pet channel, its Quakeworld.nu's channel and thats probably why u dont like it...

#quake1 is ur way of getting a popular channel on Qnet I guess..

Why not just admit that this is an attempt to create a channel with more idlers than #quakeworld ?

it's exactly the other way around, in #quake1 I've seen more acivity in not even a week than I've ever seen in #quakeworld

No Sassa, #quakeworld is about QuakeWorld, not all types of Quake.

#Quake1 is no more than my way of encouraging interaction between various sub-communities within the larger Quake community. If you don't like it, fine, but spare me the conspiracy theories.

hehe who said #quakeworld is just about Quakeworld?
I hope u spare us your conspiracy theories about #quakeworld !!
Chuck Norris came and every1 ran from all diff channels and got togheter @ #quakeworld

#quakeworld is dead anyway so stop the hating.

true, and the name #Quakeworld sorta gives it away :/

<o/ #Quake1 !!
