Figured you might want these for posterity...

Unbeknownst to the typical DW commoner, the forums' most missed attraction is not Post Hell. It is, in fact, the Doomworld Dollar Menu. Will it ever be brought back, or will the capitalistic bean counters relegate it to distant history?!!?

Not to show off how much of a newb I am, but what on earth am I looking at?

Christ, I can almost taste that page 20 years later. I completely forgot about it, so thank you for posting this.

 

And I posted on the second page, so I know I was there.

 

 

It was actually kind of an amusing April Fool's joke.

You can say that this image is very old, considering that the skulltag is still thing.

Some joke thing 

[Murdoch]

Heh, I remember this.

There's gotta be a userstyle out there that restores this site to it's former McGlory™️

[Dark Pulse]

Theoretically, if the assets could be found, a userscript could easily do all that.

 

Reminds me of the April Fools joke we pulled at BeyondUnreal in 2008, turning the site into the style of the menus from Unreal Tournament III. I wound up writing most of the loading screen texts (yes, we even faked the loading screens, complete with a "Loading: Main Page" if you went back to the main page since the original game literally had to load the main menu, too) and they were full of all sorts of goofy in-jokes. For those of you who had no idea what the original menus looked like (the "Black" update changed them), it was like this:

 

 

I do remember we had a mirror of it for awhile for posterity, but I don't remember the URL.

 

EDIT: Found the URL, but obviously it doesn't work so good anymore in modern browsers - https://beyondunreal.com/main/af2008/

 

Unfortunately, Internet Archive doesn't have it archived while it was live (March 31st and April 2nd, yes, but not April 1st...)

I could’ve sworn those McGriddles looked like Cacodemons for a hot second there.

They should bring that theme back because modern Doomworld is the internet equivalent of McDonald's. The bathrooms have shit everywhere, the coffee is stale and cold, and I recieve eight warning points everytime I pull down my pants and scream at the employees. Chalk it up to the antisocial tendencies of psychotic moderators. The Hamburglar is okay, but Grimace is an overrated asshole (the milkshakes are actually made from his own shit) and Ronald should not be allowed around children. I ordered eleven Happy Meals last week for the exclusive Doom Mcternal toys, but two were missing toys completely, and I was asked to leave when I requested a refund or at least three extra toys. Among the eight remaining toys, half were defective. I got a chainsaw that won't vibrate or make noise, a Marty Stratton that blames me for the Marauder being a shitty enemy, and a Pain Elemental with one asshole. The fourth toy is the most disappointing since it was a Classic Edition Collector's Series NIKE Solesport X Lil' Wayne DOOM 3 collab feat. Kevin McCloud and I'm a huge DOOM 3 fan, but it was just a generic fleshlight that won't turn on and looks nothing like the one in the game. At least in real life I don't have to put it down when I want to use my weapon. Anyway, the whole place is boring. It says they have like 40,000 members, but there's only ever a couple hundred people actually making posts and maybe half a dozen cooks. Parking is okay, the URL is short and accessible. The sign featuring the famous Golden Archviles brings on a heavy feeling of nostalgia. On the other hand, I feel very unsafe there, even the chef admitted they've been hacked. They say it's not a big deal because the thieves only got away with their hashbrowns. If you're there for the food, the only thing they serve is eColi. They have the Mick's Picks deal going on for $8.99, so I figured I'd try one while I was checking my toys in front of the other customers and throwing out the food from my Happy Meals. I had the Big Fucking B*rger and it gave me a virus that wiped out my system. The only thing this place has going for it is the Ultra-Progressive Playground. Since I was already banned, I had to create an alt account to enter. I had a lot of fun talking to my girlfriend while we messed around on the barrels o' fun, but there was a troll on top of Mt. Erebus that kept trying to sell us dopefish. He called my girlfriend inflatable and I ended up reporting him. Either way, the playground is at least better than the one at Doomer Burgs. Just don't expect anything else (and be aware that the height limit is 50MB which is not fair - little Doomlings do exist!). The fries are okay but they weren't that fresh.

To be honest, I'm here for the wads, the very nice help on editing (and also some "immature" "ranking things is fun"), don't enter the political stuff but your "diatribe", your rant is refreshing and intense (plus very literary)), kudos !

For me, it's the McChicken. The best fast food sandwich. I even ask for extra McChicken sauce packets and the staff is so friendly and more than willing to oblige.

One time I asked for McChicken sauce packets and they gave me three. I said, "Wow, three for free!" and the nice friendly McDonald's worker laughed and said, "I'm going to call you 3-for-free!".

Now the staff greets me with "hey it's 3-for-free!" and ALWAYS give me three packets. It's such a fun and cool atmosphere at my local McDonald's restaurant, I go there at least 3 times a week for lunch and a large iced coffee with milk instead of cream, 1-2 times for breakfast on the weekend, and maybe once for dinner when I'm in a rush but want a great meal that is affordable, fast, and can match my daily nutritional needs.

I even dip my fries in McChicken sauce, it's delicious! What a great restaurant.

It really existed? I thought It was a false memory of mine lol
