Top list for added screen shots?

First of all, I respect that not everybody wants to take the time to add screenshots.
Personally I think it's nice to have them, even for text-tools and similar. I guess I'm a visual kind of person. :)
Anyway, to motivate people that are adding screenshots, could we have a top list of which people added the most screenshots on the statistics page?

Adding screenshot from the web interface is efficient, doing it by email is a pain. Thanks, but I haven't got the time.

That must be the reason why many recent releases still have crappy screenshots like latest Vandalism, right? ;) When did you support screenshot zooming, September, 2005? :D
Oh come on...

do you think that pouet with its run for points has a bigger problem than csdb with incomplete entries, missing download links and such ?

I just said, I fear it could happen. That's all I said.

I am no Pouet.net freak.

Hey

Well, some years ago - when I was studying economics, I didn´t like statistics, so I dropped out ;-) Anyway, but here at CSDb I think the statistics under Fun Stuff is quite funny, so like TLR, Sledge, Zyron etc. I also think that the points in here is nice, and hopefully they´re not only funny, but can also motivate a little, so even more people start too add a little more in here to this database. Some people in here only adds information etc. for their own group(s), but if these points in here could just motivate a few also to care and add information about other old groups/persons/releases from the past, then I think, there are many benefits with the points.. So they should not be removed!

I started a topic called The Historie Of C64-Scene - A Never Ending Story! back in early 2004 (link: The Historie Of C64-Scene - A Never Ending Story! ), but I got no response at all. What I wanted back then , was to divide / split up some of the statistics, so the uploaders of wares didn´t get points at the same place as the normal active submitters, who didn´t upload anything, but were (only) submitting information.. Back then I didn´t think, that it shoud be mixed, as some people were just uploading wares without thinking about adding all old groups, sceners etc Anyway, that´s probably not a problem anymore, as I guess most groups/persons have already been added to CSDd by now.

Hmm, all in all eeehh, I guess what I´m trying to say here in the middle of the night, is that I wouldn´t mind if there were even more statistics, and I find them funny and good. Points for screenshots would also be nice, I think, but I don´t really care that much about this one. And of course I don´t add information in here because of the points. As writing in The Historie Of C64-Scene - A Never Ending Story! back then, I had not even discovered "Misc. Statistics in here before, I had added lots of groups and persons to CSDb. I added all the information because of the history and not the points at all! BUT!!! I do remember, that I thought it was a great idea, when I finally discovered it, because I knew, I would keep on helping getting CSDb better and better, and then I actually liked, that there was this point system..! ;-)

I do see the problem, that HCL refers to, about stupid persons that starts to add empty entries, but as far as I know, that´s not a big problem in here, and I don´t think, it would become a problem. They´re just making a fool of oneself by doing that.. And you know, today you can even see, who´s the creater of the information!

I´ve also used lots of time (and still do) correcting information here at CSDb at already added information, which are wrong or missing lots of details. I still find lots of releases, groups, persons where there are missing a hell lot of stuff. When correcting this you also don´t get any points at all, but - maybe - some points here, would actually help motivation people to help correcting all these things??? I don´t know Also this would make the new TIMELINE (link: http://noname.c64.org/csdb/forums/?roomid=8&topicid=18000&showa..) (which I like) much much better. There would be a much better overview at this Timeline, if people tried to clear up, some of all the missing information. If you´re not sure about, when a person left a group, or when a release was actually released, then try to ask at CSDb or search for information in old mags, notes etc. (that´s what I´ve done, but it takes a hell lot of my time, and of course it´s not everybody, who wants to use (ehh, is crazy enough to use ;-), that much time in checking up old information in mags and notes, which is about 11-15 years old, *LOL* ------> ^^ ^^ But it IS a chance of getting a much better overview (But it takes time!!)

Off to sleep!! A way too tired to write all this!

Regards, Dishy

It is not tiny in size. It is blocky because it is a gif of an emulated TV-screen. The number of colors in this gif is not enough so it has to dither. Never use gifs, use pngs.

Oh, ok then! But then my hint: He could use local colour palette instead of global one. I do that for the SWO screenshots since a couple of issues, and it works :)
I still think they look kinda blocky at the linked example, hmm. So sorry for assuming incorrectly first, if so.
