Group id #666 : Upfront
upfront - a group with lots of unreleased demos. does someone have contact to ex-members or maybe even have some unreleased demos/previews of them in their diskbox? |

It just feels like revisionism when looking at Dexion X-Mas Conference 90 and not seeing Upfront's demo which I believe was number 3.
It might not have been released, but a bunch of sceners still saw it, and therefore it's part of scene history and should IMO be represented in a database like this.

I agree 100% with Cruzer, just because a demo that was in a compo wasn't released, or was released later in a different version doesn't mean it (or the original version) shouldn't have an entry in the database. It took part in the compo, so it is part of the scene history, file or no file. |

If it's good enough for a compo, it's good enough for the scene.
A rule for scene compos should be that the organisers hold all rights to publish competition entries. |

let me clear this up, maybe my comment was misleading. we will NOT delete anything when there is a proof for existance (like, if it took part in a competition). we will also NOT delete anything when there is a reason like "i dont have the file because its lost, blabla".
the purpose for such deleting is keeping the database clean, not to revise history.
now, if you can tell how exactly the demo was named then i can look it up. (unfortunatly i need the name, perff is going to fix this soon i hope =P) |

I can't remember the name. Guess I added it as "Unreleased Demo" or something, and hoped someone could remember the name and would update it. I don't have any other proof than remembering it from the compo, and I'm sure others do too, at least Slammer and Glasnost/CML who got inspired by the text zoomer to do some sideborder versions.

It's here again (Unknown), it was me who had deleted it.
In this case as there is no file and no name I thought it
was useless to have it here.
Since Cruzer has added more stuff here without files and
after asking several times for uploading them, I guess I
finally got a bit fed up and deleted this one.

Thanx! \o/ Not that it can be used for much, but at least I think it's better to add stuff without files or even names, and hope someone will see it and update it.

so now *please* update the entry with a proper reason for not uploading a file :) |
