Demo Makers and Future Writers
I'm not sure if I brought this up before, but...
Are Demo maker and / or Futurewriter style "demos" wanted or needed here? After reading through some of them, they are pretty inane and many are from unheard of groups.
Whatcha all think?

I think the key here is whether they are interesting or not. A select few such productions might provide an interesting historical document on the "lamer scene", but a whole crapflood of 'em? No thanks. |

Well, right now I only have a dozen or so of them (the rest are still on floppy, untransferred) so I'll belch a few of them up once I get around to it. Thanks!

If they where released and spread, I see no reason why they shouldn't be added. |

If you have it and you think it's worth preserving and sharing, by all means post it. I defy anybody to point out the harm. |

Demomakers-made-demos (..) are one thing, but Futurewriter-made-notes? Do we really need those? And if so, why not all the millions of 'normal' notes that were written? Maybe I should scan the hand-written notes from my contacts I still have left and enter those as well?
What's the harm you ask? What about database pollution? |

Well, Future Writer releases typically (at least here in the States) involved rag war related content... IE "That group is a bunch of fags" kind of stuff.
Same with demo maker stuff. "Theze guyz are lame, here is a crappy picture I drew in Koala Paint."
I'll bump up one of the more laughable ones so everyone can see it in context.

I think all releases belong here, hand-written notes on the other hand aren't releases. |

What's the difference between a personal note on disk & a personal note on paper, apart from the obvious ofcourse? |

I didn't say a personal note on a disk belong in CSDb any more than hand-written ones. I did however say that I think that all releases belong here, notes released to the public or similar.
Some examples:
Supermessage V1.0 - Made with El Stocco's Scroll Editor.
The Triad Letter - Possibly made with Sodan's writer.
Contact Relax !!! - Made with TSK's Movie-writer.
All these are correctly included here....and there are many more. I have a fever & a bad cold right now so I don't feel like searching for more :)
There's also a big amount of demos made with demo-makers by f.ex. Gollum, D.S. Compware etc consisting of a tune, a scroller & a bitmap picture. I believe they have the right to be included here as well. |
