The Top WADMakers Ever
 
Over the course of five years, Doom and Doom 2 have accrued countless add-on levels, created by fans all over the world.  Some of these levels, as well as their authors, have stood out from among the chaff and are recognized for their particularly high quality. 
To name the "best WAD author of all time" would be an impossible task -- but when has that ever stopped anyone?  Below is a list of every accomplished level designer for Doom that we were able to come up with.  However, we're in no way qualified to pass judgement on five years of blood, sweat, and tears by thousands of WADmakers.  We want you, the gaming community, to do that for us. 

You can vote for up to ten people.  They don't necessarily have to be from the following list -- if we missed someone who you feel belongs, go ahead and vote for them, and we'll add them to the following list. 
Also, you can only vote once.  If you send more than one email, we'll automatically delete all of them (cheaters never prosper).
