My name is Balcombe, and I'm a few years late to the party. Just found out that a game like Legend of Grimrock even existed this last weekend (Thank you ProJared for ranking LoG top pick of 2012!).
And while I usually stay away from online forums due to the large amount of hateful, poor-grammared inbred, clone-vat, illogical zomboid children, I was so happy with Grimrock, I wanted to join in on the community, as well as provide resources for fans of the original DM games.
While LoG has it's downsides (as any game does), overall, it is the perfect spiritual, modern day rebirth of games like Dungeon Master, Chaos Strikes Back, EoB, etc.
Point is, I'm happy to see Almost Human working hard to keep the old school alive, and quite frankly, they can't shut up and take my money fast enough!
Anyway, being that this is a community based post, I wanted to let people know there is still a small and active Dungeon Master community alive on the internet. There main forum can be found here:
http://www.dungeon-master.com/forum/
To go hand in hand with that, here is the Dungeon Master Encyclopedia, with many resources related to many of the games:

Grimlock is the best old-school game I've played since DM and CSB, both of which I still come around to playing once every other year or two, when I really crave torture. I mean, for all the modern bells and whistles that continue to muck up modern-day gaming, while pretty, it is often lacking in true challenge and imagination. Prior to LoG, the closest I could find to a modern reboot of those games (ie, modern engine, 3D modeling, etc.) was a fully 3D rendering of the original Dungeon Master, as created by Rasmus from the Dungeon Master forums (listed above). He might still be around there if anyone is so inclined, and even for a beta that never saw a final release, the game is complete, and a perfect 3D and updated copy of DM - immersive, engaging, nostalgic and fun.
Anyway, just wanted to share those resources in case any other super geeks out there were unaware that they existed. Hope to talk to and see more of the community in the future, and I can't wait for Legend of Grimrock 2.
Until next time,

P.S. - I've browsed a lot of the forum posts here, and for all the people who found elements of LoG obtuse and frustrating, apparently they have never played Chaos Strikes Back
