Going offline

I submitted this to news but I felt it was important enough to post here as well...


As of July 1 or thereabouts, Doom Wad Station, as it is currently constituted, will cease to exist. I am allowing the hosting package to expire due to lack of financial support. Until that time, the entire website will remain online and I encourage people to go there and download everything they want before it goes offline. After this occurs, I will reconstitute DWS as a personal site dedicated to my own body of work but there will be no more reviews, no more /idgames area, no more forums, etc...
Please pass this on so that people can take full advantage before it goes offline.

Damn! I really liked your easy-to-pick-from list of megawads! Sometimes I just wish I ahd a credit card on me.

Well that's unfortunate but good luck with the new site for your personal projects. By the way, have you mapped anything lately?

Not really - no time. I have some projects I want to work on but they are on hold as of now.

Maybe now you'll have to time to work on your personal stuff.

Damn, that's a shame to hear the place is shutting down. ): I wish I could download the maps, files, and the like from there, but I'm still without a PC from Hurricane Rita.

Best of luck to ya, and here's to hoping that whoever downloads the stuff from the site will upload it somewhere. There's a lot of maps there I'm itching to play as soon as I get a new PC.

Ah, well. Things don't last forever... Anyway, good luck with your new site.

I just downloaded the Chex Trek TC, which was the first, and likely last, thing I downloaded from DWS.
