#deathmatch was one of the leading Doom and Doom2 IRC channels at this time. 1996 through 1997 was an important time for Doom2; we had DMcon1, DMcon2, and the recent release and rising popularity of Quake1, among other things. Additionally, many oldschool players (some of whom are still participating in various gaming scenes) resided in EFnet #deathmatch at this time.
