Now, I could turnaround and add so much fuel to this fire it hurts, but at the same time I know for a fact that won't accomplish anything. But Mark, I'll say this a second time, but I'll be more black and white about it.
Stop pissing people off. Either you and Mindz have some inside joke I don't get, or you're trying to annoy him. Again and again. It's fucking childish and annoys me to no end how you try and be a personality you're not. You want quake to be big, then promote it, make people aware and organise events where people online can gather, chat and play quake. Maybe stick to one engine for these events, or one kind of engine. This very site is specialising in netQuake (if I'm not mistaked), and there's even a quake like game being developed here on the site to make up for the lack of a free to play quake 1.
So you've got these groups and then you make a central website, so people from all over the different forums can gather and sign up, maybe have it so profiles sync to popular servers and have a very primitive elo system for social banter and "my ePeen is bigger than yours". There, you have a pseudo competitive environment with a free game, what's to lose? Well now what's to win, find a good advertising company for the ads, and make sure they're not intrusive. So when you /KINDLY/ ask people to not use adblock, it doesn't annoy them. This gets trust from people, they want to support you now. Fantastic.
Events, people like quake and quake is one of the grandfathers of eSports, why can't it be an eSport game again? It can be, have a section of the site dedicated to mapping, or work with other sites for competitive map jams.
ie ; MAKE A COMPETITIVE MAP FOR THE UPCOMING FFA TOURNAMENT, SPONSORED BY <brand name>. So basically, you've got ad money coming in (not a huge amount), and a tournament, where you can probably do a prize pool based on a percent of sponsor inputs (although this is a gray area, you may be requesting hardware at a discount price, but I'm not going that far into detail in one post).
PRIZE POOL = USER INPUT, have a donation button, but take a cue from kickstarter and other crowdfunding websites, for donating certain amounts, people get merchandise or something. I really have no idea on this one, but this is just a post.
So you have a website where people can gather, play quake together and have small competitions. These will be streamed, what do the casters do when not streaming? Playing single player mods, that's right, get them to play the latest mods and have a page where people can download the mod (with installation instructions) and a donate button where the people who made this mod can get money (5% can go to the site)
^^
This isn't perfect, I wrote this because I feel you're just not doing enough or you don't seem to know what you're doing because you always seem to be holding information back and always try and get as many females on the team as possible.
idk
I know you're not stupid, so please for the love of god do something, after all, this is a business venture, right?
-rage over-
re-reading this I went on quite a tangent, but the points are pretty much valid
and for people who don't just see an angry teenager writing crap, what are people's thoughts on this? I really do want something like this as soon as possible, especially with all the content being made lately and the rise in interest in quake. (With quake live's apparent update, I think more people would be willing to try the original quake as an alternative)Want to get into playing Quake again?

Honestly though, do you eat burnt grilled cheese? At the very least the skillet needs some butter or cooking spray at minimum. Spatula to flip that bitch with?Want to get into playing Quake again? Click here for the Multiplayer-Startup kit! laissez bon temps rouler!

Do you wear a dead skin mask when it's raining blood?
I used to have a leather jacket with the root of all evil demon, custom painted on the back of it.

When I'm directly concerned I don't know, most of the time, what to do... so I'll just use this thread to do so.
You might find this 'solution' intersting which I then invite you to use to your convenience but most of all... for the convenience of having sane threads.
thus i have avoided this tread only to read the first post.

Mark, what are you on about.
"he's going to have to chose if he wants to be with you or us now..."
What is this, Mortal Kombat?
"CHOOSE YOUR DESTINY!"
To answer though, I choose Mindz, because he doesn't suck or claim to do something he can't. This also means I'm leaving the QIN because you do not understand how this industry works, nor do you seem to understand eSports.
Anyway, I will not discuss this with you again, I will not attend any more events on that horrid flash based site. I expect you to remove all my contact information from anything you have, this also means I expect you to remove those notes you have on me. (He keeps detailed notes on people, whether it has their information or chat logs so he can analyse previous chats.)
If you don't and I become aware of you having anything with me involved on anything you have control on, I will look into taking further action.
So leave me alone and remove all my information and we're going to be just fine. Especially since I've noticed that I'm not getting emails from you at the moment.
Christ, I'm on a forum for a video game having to tell people to delete my contact information. Egad this is daft.twitch

@horrid flash based site - watch your mouth. Don't hate the medium, hate the programmer. You can make a horrid site in any web language.

He probably does in all honesty, and I'm a little creeped out by it, I didn't even get to pose. ;P
He even sat there in a call trying to get me to check out all the women behind him when we're talking business. You know, the guy who just found out I'm in a committed relationship. :v
and I ask, although I probably shouldn't, who was 'kimp'? I keep hearing the name but I don't know anything about them.twitch
