Zdoomvets (IRC channel)

#zdoomvets is a semi-private Doom community discussion channel, a splinter from #zdoom. The channel was initially founded in July 2004 by Sarge Baldy and others as a means of escaping certain topics of discussion found uninteresting, such as that relating to Doom 3, which was released some months afterward. The channel maintained a small base for over a year, with little discussion.

However, it was revived in January 2006 as the result of perceived administrative abuse by Fraggle and, subsequently, by Bloodshedder, the #zdoom founder. The channel now exists both as a refuge from unwanted topics of discussion and as a shelter from administrative abuse by #zdoom operators.
