Release id #139885 : Captain Dynamo +11D [crazy hack]
i wonder what exactly constitutes a "crazy hack" and why releases that appear to be regular cracks (according to csdb terms of course) - with the only exception that they dont seem to follow certain "scene rules" (which mind you, are not, and never have been, relevant for csdb) are tagged as such. if i start calling my release "awesome hack" in my intros, will they get tagged as such too? :) |

If you were still an official Mod and therefore responsible for holding up the standards, maybe. |

I like the [crazy hack] 'tag', makes it easier to ignore crapware :) |

if [crazy hack] stands for "crapware", then you guys still have a hell of work to do to tag everything properly =) |

I feel I should mention though that Vinny doesn't actually want these hacks to be uploaded to CSDB. Even the text with each release says so. |

thats irrelevant, csdb collects what is released, not what wants to be here. |

Maybe I'm the only one who sees the obvious here, but the term "crazy hack" obviously is used because it's a specific "series" of releases by Vinny. Now, because it's posted with the term crazy hack in brackets, that constitutes some other meaning on csdb. So, ok, it shouldn't be in brackets, and perhaps the term crazy hack should be in parenthesis or something else. Semantics.
As far as Groepaz' point that man made "quality standards" does not reflect eligibility to csdb, thank you for making that point clear. There's, in my opinion, way too many "sceners" with "rules" (i.e. free time on their hands) judging what is good and what is crap, and the truth is, personal opinions about quality means nothing to me and should mean nothing to csdb. I want to have access to EVERYTHING, and use csdb as a guide to what exists. I hope everything that does exist ends up here. I'll download what i want and leave what i don't. Freedom of choice. |

Good last point. Vinny actually name his releases "ghostbusters crazy hack" so we could do the same, compare that to other releases like Commando arcade or ultima remastered. |
