ZDaemon is a weird community. You have a schizophrenic developer, Kilgore, moderating forums as people constantly disagree with him instead of developing ZDaemon as supposedly he is doing. ZDaemon official forums now have the irony that discussing the most successful, largest, and longest ZDaemon league in the history of ZDaemon, the IDL, is a ban worthy offense. Other games or topics are fine to talk about just don't mention or talk about the IDL since Kilgore hates people playing ZDaemon. Apparently the IDL is stealing ZDaemon players by making them play ZDaemon and thus "sticking it to ZDaemon' . It is so ridiculous it is hard to believe. The rest of the ZDaemon team seems to have no problems with this and are probably afraid of Kilgore themselves lest they get on the crazy man's enemy list. He holds grudges for years.
The only reason people put up with the insanity of the ZDaemon team is the lack of alternatives avaliable. In the Quake series you have a variety of good clients which are open source to choose from and use. ZDaemon is closed source and the developers are paranoid to share their source code, and with good reason if they did someone would likely establish a sane community not led by power mad people who don't care for the game. All in all it is a sad state of affairs for ZDaemon and it seems unlikely to change anytime soon.
