BrDOOM was the first website representing the brazilian Doom community and other Portuguese-speaking countries, created in the November of 2005 by Logan MTM. The most known WADs from BrDOOM were Logan MTM's Legacy of Suffering and Daniel's NeoDoom. Other famous WADs, such as Brutal Doom, Hunter's Moon and Pirate Doom also started at BrDOOM forums. The site was also the home of the DBR, the most important brazilian Doom clan in the 00's.
Closure[]
On April 1, 2011 the community decided to close its doors. The main reasons for this were the departures of bigger modders from the scene, as well as the toxic behaviour from some of its members. Brazil's economic landscape kept technology a little late in regards to the first world, which resulted in most Doom players being younger kids who didn't have access to better machines and newer games, which in turn resulted in a younger than expected demographic flocking to the forums. This made it very hard for the moderation team to keep things running smoothly, which often resulted in members being permanently banned from the forums.
In November 2011 the remaining moderators started sunsetting the website, with member Laete Meireles (Drak[X]) backing up its databases in hopes to preserve it. Finally, in December 2011 the site went offline.
Return[]
After the release of Doom Eternal, some of the old community members got back in touch, which reignited their interest in the games and franchise, and brought about the decision to get the website up again. Community administrator Juliano Reis (DU0) was able to provide a backed up copy of the 2011 forum databases, which administrator Adalberto Barbosa (MegamanX3) was able to update and get online in 2020, officially returning the website with all of its original content preserved, though under a .org domain space instead of the former .com.
The first mod made by the new BrDOOM community was Cramunhao - A Sigil Tribute, with more projects in progress.
