A guy on the Quake forums called my map "a box with texture on it" back in 2003
I posted my first real deathmatch map on a Quake forum back in 2003 and this guy named SkullBreaker replied with just "a box with texture on it, but the box is fun." He wasn't being mean, he actually played it and sent me a bunch of tips about lighting and how to make rooms not feel so square. Does anyone still have contact with old forum folks like that, or did we all just drift apart when the sites shut down?

Funny how a random stranger being nice about your box map sticks with you 20 years later, huh? Not sure it's some big tragedy that we all lost touch though. Forums were like a bus stop, you chat with people while you wait and then everybody gets on their own bus. SkullBreaker probably has a wife and kids now and hasn't thought about Quake in a decade. That said, I do wonder sometimes if those old handles are still out there somewhere, playing some other game under the same name.
