    Remember MILK?  Multiplayer Internet Link I think the acronym meant. 
Not many people knew about it, the maker was a teenager who intended to get 
in on the budding internet gaming phenomenon and compete with Kali (which 
was in beta at the time as I recall).  It ended up fizzling out when he 
couldn't get 3player games to be stable.  IHHD was mostly a failure for me 
(a modemer), though I had a few quake1 demo games.  #descent on IRC was a 
rocking place back then, with Parallax programmers popping in every so 
often, and channel takeover battles occurring regularly :)

Back in the day I remember being entertained by feuds between players. 
Remember Derek (the guy who liked cows) and Zod?

Derek was a funny guy, Zod on the other hand was the one guy that made the DBB
so popular by driving most of the regulars out of this ng.
AFAIS the DBB is just having a hard time. Lots of people leave it for
"personal" reasons as most of the postings are flamewars. Will this ng again
be the place where the community meets for a talk?

I actually started playing Descent II - had the game in the box
sitting around for awhile then I installed it and got hooked!  I still
play it from time to time now - but everybody is talking about Decent3
- hope to get that too eventually.

Why not? It's not spammed much at all and there are no OT posts.

I guess I should step in and say "Hi" again.

No OT.   No spam.   Great place this NG is.

Of course it ALWAYS was !!!
