The wads in this theme directory are all related to what are called
"Terry" wads in the community. They depict anal rape and are intended
to shock and surprise the player because their descriptions do not explain
that, and are generally written to get people to download the files.
Until mid-April 2014, these wads were accepted into the archive, not realizing
the situation with their contents. As of that time, many were purged from
the archives, not because of the content, but because in addition to the
levels and graphics, the authors had padded the files with sometimes thousands
of fake lumps of repeated text and graphics. This made for some files that
although already rather large, would expand to multiple gigabytes once unzipped.
As these are adult-themed wads, they have been put in this special directory
to keep them out of the regular directory structure. You will, if you choose
to download these, have to read the text files to determine if Doom "ports"
are needed to run them. Regardless of that or the single player vs. deathmatch
style of the wad, they will all be put here together.
One might ask why, if they are adult themed, they aren't just put into the
x-rated directories. The reason is that those are specially handled so as
not to show up in the indexes or "newstuff" and that would complicate matters.
Most of the files in here will have been rejected in the past due to the
padding mentioned above, and have been reuploaded without that padding.
As I now look through every file that gets uploaded, I will have no problem
identifying the "terrywads" and moving them here.
