What's Happened?

Post by Paul Gilbert »

Most of these posts seem to have vanished!

BTW, is there an update due?

We had a problem sometime ago where the posts in the IWADS thread had been deleted, but Adam was able to recreate the threads.  It seems the bug has struck again.

As for the update, it's been over two months, so I assume it will happen anytime now.

Just so you know the next two updates will be:
november 18 (8th anniversary of the first C-N demo)
december 10 (Doomsday, doh)

as for the board I should've made a backup last time, guess I've learned a lesson again. :( I'll go fix the board for the upcoming update. If this happens often again I think we should consider getting an different free board software.

Will either of those updates have a competition?

The first demo

Wasn't the first demo for lv27 a Max-Kill? If I'm not mistaken that is...

That's correct, that's the oldest one I could track down.

What's the date on that? Just did a little digging...the DHT page says S ;-) opened the original COMPET-N FTP in December '94, his first post to the newsgroups regarding it is 10 April 1995, by which point there's already quite a lot of demos in the repository. Just interested. =)

uh there was a thread on this in Misc (buried by that damned bug at the moment), Jon Rimmer and I tracked it down on google groups, the r.g.c.d. announcement was made on Oct 14 and the FTP announcement on Nov 29. First demo date is Nov 18 (all 1994).

Ah, I just searched r.g.c.d.p since that was where I assumed it'd be. So you're not counting the DHT demos he imported to the tables originally? Just taking the first specifically-made-for-compet-n demo?

First demo is by Dasa, and he never played DHT.
Here's the first mention of his demo (l27-1514)

A nice update, I had to point out two little mistakes though.

Misc forum is now fixed... and I also back up the whole thing.

EDIT: Well, not quite. Some info (last post time and maker, # of posts) don't update properly on main page. Need BahdKo to change some file permissions. Should be done within the next few hours.
