Heroes of the community

[NiGHTMARE]

As a kind of spin-off from the Great People thread some posts down, these are people who've done great stuff for Doom and/or the community, rather than just people I know from IRC (which I don't use any more):

1: Carmack (for Doom, and releasing the code)

2: TiC (for NWT, which helped add considerably to the customability of Doom. WinTex probably wouldn't exist without it)

3: Linguica (for Doomworld)

4: Team TNT (for amazing improvements to Doom)

5: Anthony Czerwonka (for the Gothic DM series, arguably the most inspirational Doom add-on .wad's ever)

6: Carnevil and Nightfang (may not have started the C/S playing part of the Doom community, but sure as hell have helped keep it going)

7: Jan van der Veken (for another incredibly inspirational doom .wad, Dawn of the Dead, and starting the Darkening series off)

8: Rick Clark (for his incredible help, via many tutorials and articles, to both new and existing Doom designers)

9: Ola Bjorling (for creating the amazing textures for one of the most popular SP .wads ever, the Darkening E2, and practically founding the tiny 1-on-1 style maps)

10: Randy Heit, the EDGE team, the Legacy crew, et al (for helping to keep the rather ancient Doom engine alive with constant modificiations).
