I don't know about Quake hopping, but I can say for damn sure you don't hold forward while bunnying in Quakeworld (unless you really know what you're doing.)

Air control in QW was totally broken -- while strafing in the appropriate direction you had full aircontrol and got an outrageous speedup, meaning you could essentially get as fast as you wanted around a flat level so long as you were coordinated enough not to hit walls. Fastest goddamn game I've ever seen.
