A few of us have been working on a new Quake website that's nearing completion, QuakeOne.com. The idea behind the site is to provide all the information and downloads new players need to play quake, and provide a general Quake community site not focused on any particular server or mod.
Despite it closing in on it's 10 year anniversary, many still feel Quake is the most fun online game around. It has great, balanced gameplay that just feels more fun and satisfying than games that have came along after it. Not everyone has the time and interest to learn a new game every few months, or spend all their time and energy acquiring resources in MMORGs.
But the quake community has been dwindling because new players haven't known where to start because there hasn't been one easy place that explains where to get an appropriate client, get it set up, and find a server with a game. We aim to change that with QuakeOne.
We aren't looking to replace any other sites, but rather setup something that we feel is missing from the Quake community. Mostly we want to attract more new players and players who haven't played it years to Quake. If you like this idea, come check it out at QuakeOne.com, tell your friends about it, or help out any way you can!
Primary contributors to the effort: Steve, Yellow No. 5, Baker, Apocalypse, Hydrosmoke, Bam, Zop, Sputnikutah
Visit the site: http://www.QuakeOne.com.
(And some of you may have seen this as Echlon was kind enough to make it a news post at QuakeDev)
And something that may interest some of you, a close-to-complete subpage that attempts to chart much of the Quake resources (it's not completely done yet):

I actually made a news post of this on I3D just a few hours before you made this post, but thanks for bringing it to the forums as well. If you ever want such things put up on the I3D frontpage, feel free to use the news submission form.
This site does look quite awesome and I am excited about it, as the lack of a central location to get started has been the most cited problem for the Quake community I have observed as of late. |

Thanks, I hadn't noticed that mostly because my bookmark for Inside3D is direct to the forums page so I can read discussions. |
