‘Quake’ community seems not plenty, but strong - at least in this place. In the end, I think it is all about the people; people recognizing one another. Nobody does maps or mods just for the sake of it, addressing some empty space, neither for the benefit of an abstract archive; but people do it for each other. I think it could be worthwhile to establish a quasi-topic thread, where developers and enthusiasts should be allowed to simply share things that inspire or interest them - creatively speaking - hoping for a synergistic result altogether.
It is questionable though what would distinguish a quasi-topic thread from an offtopic thread.
