Only one COMPET-N demo was uploaded this year by vdgg and it seems it won't get any better. With Windows 10 out, Dosbox is the only solution to play COMPET-N as I doubt people are willing to setup some old PC just for DOS gaming like me
Also some demos are not uploaded to doom.com.hr at all, tho they are on doomworld.com forum. Maybe it's time to shut down?
I have tons of real life stuff going on and didn't touch almost anything except I managed to record/upload CNDOOM demos to Youtube channel. I really want to do more but cant find time I should speedrun life
Just a bad year or there is nothing more to be done?

Re: Just a bad year or there is nothing more to be done?
I can't speak for DOS, but there isn't much activity with CNDoom either except for the demos I do. I have 1 last demo planned at the moment, which is to bring the time for doom 2 nightmare under 23 minutes (30nm22XX). I've entered the final year of my PhD and so I will probably have less time for doom, and I would also feel there is nothing more to be done with IWAD movie category (which is pretty much all I do ) once I get the time I want. Of course I thought I was done after the previous 30nm run I uploaded here, but then decided to do the UD epsiodes as well on NM, and after that my 30nm route wasn't good enough so I have to do that again
What ever you decide to do it's all up to you, either way thanks for all the work you've done.
Oh and I would like to play doom on an old PC, but I think I would be taking my interest for doom a bit too far at that point, as I have no room space for something like that

Re: Just a bad year or there is nothing more to be done?
The DSDA, despite all its flaws, probably satisfies most runners in terms of a central speedrunning site. I wouldn't say there's nothing more to be done, I think there's tons of improvements left in the IWADs and CN wads, but switching to DOSBox or even CNDoom is too much of a pain for me at this point, so I can't say if I will upload any runs here at all I'm afraid. :\
I still don't want the site to go down in any case, as it has significant historical value in the community in my opinion. But it might be fine to close /incoming if it's too much trouble to maintain, as it doesn't look like there will be a resurgence in Compet-N or CNDoom running anytime soon...
BTW, you might get a more involved discussion on Doomworld, as I dunno how many people check this forum or even have accounts here.

Re: Just a bad year or there is nothing more to be done?
Page will stay as it is. Upload/incoming too. It's all fully automated so basically no one needs to maintain it. If someone uploads demos good, if not, nothing It's just that I'm saying its time for me to move on. I still play Doom and watch demos but there is no need for new cndoom version or anything regarding compet-n/cndoom.
btw. there are mods (andy, sedlo, vdgg, jartapran) that can maintain and change demo details if needed: http://doom.com.hr/forum/memberlist.php?mode=group&g=8

Re: Just a bad year or there is nothing more to be done?
I think that it is time to revive the topic considering that it has been a full year passed since the most recent thread.
There have only been two demos so far in 2017 (including one from me on a PWAD that has previously seen no demos since 2014), and we are halfway through the year. But I have a plan; I have a plan to keep the COMPET-N database trickling with some new accomplishments. But I am off on a holiday from the 5th to the 15th of July, so it's unlikely that I'll record a demo until then at the earliest.
We can still stay strong on the COMPET-N, and try and revive the memories of what used to be a highly popular speedrunning site (particularly during the period of 2001 to 2005) as much as we can. From the day I first went on this site, I felt touched by the decline in demos here that we have experienced since 2015.
COMPET-N is a site that is a historical monument to the world's best Doom players and so I think that this website has a lot of value staying open for new demos
Because I think, that we can still have fun regardless of the situation
