Release id #165554 : Tacky +2HD
Always the same old discussion about what has to be credited as "crack". Even more confusing CSDb now uses different definitions for credits and release type.
There have been a lot of games which never had a protection and claimed to be cracked by someone (even by well known "real" crackers who were able to break protections). Do you plan to verify every crack entry if the original it was made from had a protetion to crack? Have a lot of fun with that. |

Whole lot of blablabla.
Crackers can do whatever they want with this stuff. They did it in the past many many times. Conformity will struggle as opinions differ. I think write it in the scroll text the way you want, what happens on a DB like this, forget about it. :D |

Yes. Call it what you want in your scrollers. If you want to call linking cracking in your scroller - nobody will complain (but people will laugh of course, and mock you. IRC is a good place for that ;)). But in a database of this kind we need to be exact, and we do have people here that actually knows if there was cracking involved or not. The facts of the database should not be debateable. We, the users signed up here, should all help the database to aim for preciseness. |

Well, don't think anyone questions on when a protection was cracked or a protection did not exist etc. But more, that the word crack has indeed been used many many times as a reference to modification of some kind. |

Then please add at least these new credit categories instead of simply "crack": unpacking, password removing, improving, shortening, high saver including, onefiling, levelpacking, including picture, changing device number, etc... and maybe even unboxing the original, inserting the disk correctly, eating and farting. |

Best thing to do is to break with traditions. Traditions are holding back progress.
Not sure if CSDb needs or even wants to be a meta-data database. It's an archive for releases as I have been told numerous times and it's doing a pretty good job at that. |
