UHM maybe because this BB is based upon the game???

Sup is correct 100% I'll admit that I have looked at .com once or twice, sort of from a morbib curiosity. but to my recollection I have never posted there and never will. it is pure and simple a 100% rip off of this BB from a group of people that ...

Sup

Yes, many of the graphics are images taken from or based on images created for a commercial game called \"Descent\". Naturally.

Because the DBB was always meant to be a \"Descent\" themed board, and we wanted to give the fans of the game a place like a \"Descent\" theme park for their community ...

Sup

DBB dot com was started by some third generation Descent players who:

- stole the name of this board with one tiny change
- stole the forum names and structure, made slight changes
- stole the graphics, with either no changes, or negligible changes and
- stole the icons and color scheme verbatim ...

Wow, I only rarely pop in here but this news is a shock.

Yeah I hung out with Andy a couple of times at LANs back in the day ...what an awesome guy.

He was super enthusiastic about the game, really involved in the community and loved me and KB for doing this site. We talked about some joint ...

Sup

Oh and ... ....

Watching those Battle Reports its pretty obvious that Starcraft II is going to make Starcraft - not to mention every RTS games that has come out since - look like Pong.

Well maybe not Pong but Mario Bros. The first one.

I mean that is just totally next level. The animations, the ...

People in this country are all worried about Kim Jong-il, but if SC2 sucks, man, its the S.Koreans that I will be keeping an eye on.

At least it isn't as big in china though, then we would get Zerg'ed--followed by a, "nuclear launch detected."

hahahah... nice. (sup goob!)

Yes its a very, very ...

Other than totally casual AOE Conquerers matches against the AI I have not been a gamer for a long, long time now.

Somehow I recently discovered that STARCRAFT - which I recall coming out right around the time of D3 - has not only been going on on a professional level ever since then (10 years ...

Don't know how this slipped by, sorry I missed it 3 years ago but ..

Thundercat is definitely Xciter and vice versa

I think people that are tripping on this issue of the barycenter are completely missing the point.

Regardless of whether or not the Earth/Moon barycenter moves outside of the Earth's sphere, or the Moon completely leaves Earths orbit before the Sun goes Red Giant ...

There are a few complications in the model when compared with the actual solar system

Actually there are more than a few complications.

Really though; it's a whole lot more important to get the main stuff set first.

Duper, what Im pointing out is that for the majority of people with Descent games the joystick support (specifically, twist joystick support) IS one of the ...

Sup

Joystick support isn't available in Doom 3, but it might be possible to hack it in with DirectX or SDI;

I've sort of partially looked into it, but since no-one actually on the team is adamant about integrating it, it's sort of on the back burner.

Sounds like - from the perspective of most of ...

There are tons of people in the community, both d3 and d1/2, who know me very well and I am sure noone doubts that I will personally push Core Decision to be a fantastic new 6dof shooter

Descent BB: "The Original Community Forum" 10 Years Strong

The Descent Bulletin Board (DescentBB.net, or DBB) was founded almost 10 years ago in 1997. We were the first privately owned web-based bulletin board to serve the community of Descent players worldwide ...

At one point in VIP arguments, KoolBear said, and I paraphrase because I no longer have access to the VIP Forum, "I will NOT allow this kind of thing and if you don't like it, make your own damn board!"

thanks for the replies guy .. sup jmeat ;)

yes ive heard conflicting things about the 1u solutions as far as noise.
