A Doom fanbase on the internet which is known for being highly influenced by 4chan, while the members claim to be mature. Most newcomers to the site are greeted with witty remarks and sometimes downright shitty attempts to put any new member in the community down in order to appear superior. These bastards are even thrown into a subforum named "Losers" where admins put newbies in order to degrade them and have them beg for acceptance. If you look at any of the photo galleries, you will notice that most of these "forum legends" are pasty, bright white skinned nerds.

Actually a chill place, but idiots will be put in their place. Best part of the forum is "Post Hell," where bad posts go to die. Essentially, idiot threads, those made by both newbies who have failed to read the rules and old timers who are off of their meds, are sent to Post Hell to burn in agony to ear-splitting music, 90s gifs, a girl with horns, and lots of amateurish CSS.

Also has a Loser board, which is sort of like a grace area for those with bad behavior. Instead of outright banning people, they get a time out instead. Of course, repeat idiocy will garner a ban.

The only real downside is the elitist air in terms of most modern games (And even so, this has died down in recent years), and the fact that political threads in the general discussion area either go ballistic or they are shut down even before the more rationale voices can be heard. The forum also obsesses over a 20+ yr old game.

A fan forum dedicated to the AWESOME game, Doom. New users are stereotyped into being "ImpMan11203". For whatever reason. Dumbasses are put in a place called "Post Hell" (which has been deleted as of 26/6/2017). Where idiotic posts and users are put to shame and are there for the whole world to laugh at.

Users are put in "ranks" depending on the amount posts they've made.

0 - Registered Lurker
1 - Registered just to make one post
2 - 10 - Newbie
11 - 30 - Warming Up
31 - 50 - Green Marine
51 - 100 - Mini-Member
100 - 250 - Junior Member
251 - 665 - Member
666 - 1000 - Forum Regular
1001 - 2000 - Senior Member
2001 - 3000 - Forum Staple
3001 - 4000 - Forum Spammer
4001 - 5000 - Forum Legend
5000+ - Why don't I have a custom title by now?!

Loser - Suspended from posting because of bad behaviour
Banned - eeehhhhhh, I think you can figure that one out..

Some point in the latter ranks you will be able to have a custom title or rank. This depends on whether the admins say you can or not. Some people have made 15000+ posts and still haven't received a custom title.

There's also a "Community Reputation" which basically shows the amount of likes you've received over time. This was also banished along with Post Hell as of 26/6/2017
