There was a great site called quakeworld.nu that had become the center of 
online Quake activity (mostly Euro-based, but not entirely). This was where 
you'd find out about the tournaments still taking place (again, mostly in 
Europe), there were forums, and they hosted, among other things, a great 
download for Quake called eQuake, which consisted of FuhQuake (definitely 
the dominant version of QuakeWorld these days), The All-Seeing Eye (the 
generally preferred alternative to GameSpy), some of the most common Quake 
levels for online play and many useful utilities. Unfortunately it is down 
at the moment after the server got hacked. There was talk a couple of months 
back about it being ready to come up again, but I think it got hacked again 
and will be a while before it's available again (if ever). :(

eQuake is also available from ftp://ftp.yi.se/pub/software/equake/

George M. already posted a link to FuhQuake - if you want to play QuakeWorld 
online you should definitely be using FuhQuake. I think some of the 
competitions may actually require it. (You can also play single player with 
it.) OK, since I think this one is so important, here it is again: 
http://www.fuhquake.net/ But if you download eQuake, you won't need it 
separately. (BTW, I play FuhQuake with a very basic, standard QW appearance, 
rather than all the fancy new graphics.)

There are also some forums at http://www.quakeworld.us/forum/ that may be 
helpful (including one devoted to Configs/Scripting)

There's also one at Besmella-Quake: http://www.besmella-quake.com/forum/

Also check out http://qw.fragzone.se/

And for the latest demos (of various games), go to 
http://www.challenge-tv.com/ (QW demos are still the most popular, though 
most these days are actually .mvd - multi-view server-recorded demos 
playable on modern clients like FuhQuake, that allow you to switch between 
all views.)

Well that should get you started on the modern world of Quake.
