Trivia

 * Instead of threads/posts being deleted, they are instead sent to Post Hell. In contrast to the rest of the forums, Post Hell features a bright orange theme as well as an animated flame effect at the bottom of the window.  Fredrik is featured at the top of Post Hell.
 * Troublemakers are often not banned from the site, but instead “losered”. Losered people can only post in a single forum, “Losers”, which is invisible to normal users.
 * The pink fish first appeared on Doomworld. It is common for people to have fish as their avatars.
 * It is not possible for a normal user to set a custom title. Instead, titles are given out by administrators in randomly timed “title giveaways”, or set in response to behaviour on the forums.
 * The Doomworld forums inspired a series of joke WADs. An anonymous mapper created dwforums.wad as a parody of the forums.  The mapper later followed up with dwforums2.wad and dwforums3.wad.
