Back in like 08-09 or something, Caution got me into Skulltag under the username Silber, and got me to join DE. Then after I was kicked out for 'inactivity' and DE dying like two weeks later, I disappeared for what I thought was permanently. Then after a period of time much later on, Shadowfox wanted me to carry his one-week clan in a scrim against A3 and we ended up losing. After the loss, Mobius handed me an invite into A3 and here I am!

I got ZDaemon and started playing coop for a while, and eventually became interested in making my own maps. I found out about Skulltag while trying to use more advanced ACS features which ZDaemon did not support, and quickly made the jump.

I now spend my days idling on IRC and making cool mods that nobody will ever play with ijontichy.

Also, my signature kidnaps people so I can beat them with sticks. So far it's reported to have pulled in at least 3 people. You're next

Early 09, played D1 shareware version then looked up some multiplayer ports afterwards; started with Zdaemon coop, and soon played SkullTag via GvH.

boi you ain't idlin' till you got this

anyway I really have no idea how I got here, but I do remember the first server I played on (which would eventually kick off my glitching and modding lifestyle, and also lead to some stupidity on my part)
eventually I decided that I wanted to make my own shit, liked rocket jumping but sucked arse at it, and thus I made a mod called the rocketeer (great name, I know), and it eventually ballooned into a giant class pack of derptastic proportions (it was also ludicrously overpowered)
unfortunately, while it boosted my DECORATE skills immensely due to my refusal to use ACS whenever it was possible to avoid it, the ideas behind it got boring and the fact that there was no balance (as well as now reminding me of my retarded actions), I ditched class packs
(I've made one more attempt at a class pack - that, too, I got bored of, and it stagnates on github now)
after I bailed out on that road, I started making things like the grappling hook, and shared resources, honing my ACS skills and losing most of my public appeal (IT NO OVERPOWERED, WE NO LIKE IT), doing more "cool idea, but unpolished" mods to gauge public interest in the idea (almost none of you fuckers ever reply), and, well, here I am now

also, because I have no video to show this off with, have a parkour mod

if anyone would record a video of this for me showing it off well, I will award you a gorillion internets and a mention in the CREDITS file that doesn't exist yet (because it was ALL ME, BABY)

I googled "Doom Online" and Skulltag was the first result at the time.

I had ZDoom earlier and played my first own wads on it (which sucked xD) and watched a doom video that was on skulltag, and i was impressed about how the dynamic lights, 3d floors and such work. The video description said skulltag. So i looked up skulltag on youtube, and found this video:

Downloaded it, and the fragging begun.. :D

I was playing Doom for a few days, and it got me thinking if there are still people playing Doom online. I remembered a port I heard about from a friend and around the internet called Skulltag which heavily supported multiplayer. So yeah.

That.

I found and played skulltag around the 0.96f era, though joined the forums after 0.97a was released.

How I found it was seeing a trailer or something about it on Youtube. This was while actually watching some Doomsday engine coop videos and some ZDoom mod showcases.
I did have zdoom for about 2-3 years prior to finding skulltag, but always played Doomsday more because of it's graphics.

And now, I have become an admin of everything here. I have proven that I am good with the technical stuff, so I have now chosen my place as the Technical Administrator.

I played Doom on the computer for a long time since my first time booting it up on here. However, in 2006/2007, I searched for any ways to play Doom online, as I was fascinated to see what I might come up with. Sure enough, Skulltag came up, and I downloaded it to give it a shot. I was amazed by all the new weapons and modifications it had included in it, and I experimented with what it was like to play against AI bots. Eventually, I opened up IDESE and started to play online. Ever since then, I've been playing around on there under the alias of "CrimsoN." I didn't join the old Skulltag forums page until 2009, but I occasionally lurked on there every once in a while to see what was going on and such.

I was a beta tester of it for a little while prior to the site being disabled, but I was only able to do so much until my computer started to fail on me. Good news is I should be getting a better one soon, preferably a Mac. Not sure what type, but I'm getting one soon enough.

I used to play on Zdaemon and ZDoom with my friends, then in 2010 we found Skulltag. After that we decided to stick with it.

Five years ago, I was surfing in Youtube for some DukeNukem3D videos, but instead I found a strange looking doom video. When I first saw this video, I was amazed in the fact how "this" doom game looks much different from the old doom game that I remembered playing as a child. The first thing that caught my attention was the blood and bullet holes decoys, and how clear the screen was. So later on that day, I did some research to find out the name of this program, and it was called SkullTag! And I also still remember the first server I joined into which was hosting a jumping maze wad. (Back then I didn't know much about SkullTag, nor its strange wads) And guys, guess what was the first thing I asked inside the server?! "Hi all, Where are all of the monsters?/!?!" xD

I came to Zandronum after I got bored of co-op on ZDaemon, 2 years ago.

Skulltag -
All I know is that I found it, and had a blast (and kept dying) on Armageddon 2 V5.

Zandronum -
I stuck on Skulltag's Main Page waiting who knows long for the ST forums to return. I figured it to be futile and found out about this.

it was around in 2003, when i started to get bored with my old computer (i had 1GhZ and 512MB DDR1 and an old Geforce 2). So i seeked something to kill my time with. After i saw another inactive Doomguy in the original Doom, then i wondered if there were an online client for doom. So i threw in "Doom multiplayer" in google and clicked at the first result, which was skulltag^^.

well after i read the news from the realm667 (or something like that) website, then i found this website...

P.S. sorry if my english is bad im german
