Backup board is invoked if one of the main boards is down during the whole 24h. How would it make sense otherwise? If Reflections was down one hour 03 in the morning just when you tried to upload your crack, the rest of the groups wouldn't notice, and lose just because one board was down for some time during the 24h. 24h rule must mean 24h. If one board is gone for 24h, the backup board goes into effect. That is logical to me. Especially as the race isn't over until 24h have passed.
If two or three (our four?) boards all have hickups during the 24h you mean there are no boards to be counted? Your view of the rules does not make sense. I will count the boards and the releases after 24h have passed. That will show who won the race.

We were first on all boards and sites initially. During that time both Antidote and The Hidden were down, according to the rules, the backup site RapidFire is then invoked and we were first there (and Reflections) thus we were first on the majority of boards using the 24 hour rule. Regards. Note: you cannot re-invoke downed boards. When they are down, backup is in play.

Antidote and The Hidden were down for some time, but came up within the counted 24h when we tried to upload our crack, and we were able to be first on both. We also went with Reflections and the backup BBS Rapidfire, even if the latter is a bit redundant, as we already were first on 2 out of 3 counted boards within the counted 24h. Cheers! |

Jammer haha, sooo reminds me of colleagues this week telling me "Tim, you are 42.. Still listening to this bleepy bleep music, grow up".. followed by me saying.. Oh shut up, that's Jammer, he just won an award so I'm listening to his entire directory this week, keep complaining and I stop using headphones".. (no joke)
That said..
A first release has always been the pinnacle achievement of the cracking scene, with only a jewel version coming closer over the years..
As much as I realise a lot of demo sceners don't care (which coincidentally are the same sceners often complaining in pm's that we remove download links, but that's another topic) this discussion is actually important as it's obviously not only about one release, but the way 2 or 3 mags will count points/ruling.
Similar to say.. Oh I don't know, datastorm saying they'd only allow 6581 and x saying only 8580.. And coders telling you who cares, it all bleeps the same to me :p |

no, its about how we determine if a release gets labelled "first release" on csdb. what 2 or 3 mags do - who gives a damn. |

Controversial perhaps but, for new releases, why not have “First Release” as determined by CSDB rather than the BBS’s? The mags use their own rules as they see fit and CSDB use simply the upload time to CSDB.
That would appease both sides...
In terms of what the mags decide, that’s then totally up to them... and the readers will decide which they care about. |

i dont care how its decided - but we DO need a rule that says how its decided - as demonstrated by this thread :)
ie right now we have two cracks from different groups which are both labelled "first release" - and that makes no sense whatsoever. i am tempted to remove the label from both, just to restore sanity =P |
