I was for letting 'em in to begin with, and after seeing Echon's post, I'm fully %100 convinced that letting them in is the way to go.

Isn't Quake2 just a modified Quake engine anyway? :) The difference between some engine projects I've seen and the original Quake is much greater than the difference between Quake1 and Quake2. I don't really see what the issue is. Many of these projects could have achieved the same result starting from a quake1 base, a quake2 base, or from scratch.

I agree. You can even play the latest FrikaC mod with FTEQuake and next play Q2 deathmach with the same engine.

Echon, MauveBib:

Thank you guys! Echon, I'm really glad to know evilpope isn't representing the whole community - I was worried when we didn't get many posts from anyone else, and none even addressing him. Seeing posts like this is a wonderful breath of fresh air and a relief. I agree with MauveBib, I'm now 100% in favor of including Quake2. I look forward to the event.

I completely gave up on this discussion when evilpope started comparing the situation to the tsunami victims. I realized how sick and self-defeating the conversation had become, and decided to back out before I did more damage.

MauveBib really states the situation of last time really well. It might not have been right, but I think that shouldn't have any bearing on what we do this year.

Let's have a fun expo!

Hmm... interesting, my account was deleted :(

Anyhow, I think that Quake2 should be now included... just separate them. In the booth display, don't mix Q1 and Q2 booths, have two separate lists. I also agree with whoever said that Qexpo2006 should be Quake only.

I don't know what you guys are planning for a host but in case you are planning on using the old qexpo site I'm afraid I'm canceling the account. Paying 20 dollars a month for 4+ years for a service I don't use has been a bit much.

Horn: Any chance you could pass the entire QExpo archive to someone before the account goes, so we can archive it elsewhere?

BTW, Horn, thanks for keeping it as long as you did!

Horn: do you mean qexpo.com or condemned? I assume you mean qexpo.com, in which case I wanna shoot myself for paying for the domain for another year if you're giving up in February.

I mean Qexpo. Can't you just transfer the domain to whatever host you'll be using?

I have everything off the qexpo server downloaded (including all the 03 expo's stuff that was on there). I've also exported the MySQL tables from the first expo. I have a 290 rar file of it all that I can upload to condemned for someone to download.
