Inspired by the sheer hilarity of 1337.wad, I decided to make my own series of excessively annoying maps. I created a slew in one hour and sent it to various people as crazy.wad. They all found it either excessively annoying, funny or very useful for engine limit testing (Eternity). I started creating maps which had a purpose, shortly afterwards. As soon as I started creating sprite replacements, I came to the conclusion that I should make a full-on joke project, but deciding on a name was a bit tough. I eventually decided "deathz0r Online: The Internet Made Stupid" because it was a pun of an AOL ad that was broadcast on TV in Australia, which had the slogan 'The Internet Made Easy'.

Throughout the forty month development stage (because I'm so damn lazy), it has gone through a numerous amount of code changes (from full dehacked to half dehacked/decorate to full decorate), and a large number of great ideas have been thought of and either implemented or forgotten. deathz0r Online: The Internet Made Stupid was released on January 9th 2006, after I got pissed off for waiting for an official ZDoom version with custom weapons. A sequel WAD has already been planned.
