Lame as you want, I agree on keeping them, else we would start a "what I actually like in C64 scene only" database. They have some names in them and represent the _majority_ of local lamers/wannabe sceners of which each scene is made of; there are not only elites, they are the 1%.
I strongly support the possibility to have a "ripoff" attribute on demos, like there is a "recrack" on cracks. That would help immensely.
To complete it, a link field to the original being ripped off/recracked, that appears only when the attribute is checked, instead of having to just to comment about them being ripoffs because that's only possible with comments. |

Agreed. The "tags" must be searchable. Comments are not. |

Quote: I think it's interesting trivia, to see how many claimed this to be their work.
I agree on this too, although we can't have a thread for every instance of a rip off. A "random" sample like this is interesting to dwelve into. |

I agree, they should stay. Sometimes I shake my head in disbelief when I see some sceners complaining that they can’t update a release here with a fixed version of some broken crack or demo that they’ve released. The fact is, that they released a broken version at all is part of the history - and is more interesting tbh than the fixed version.
The same goes for lame releases, bad graphics (I really feel for those people who can’t graphician as well as me ;-p), etc etc… sure, we might want to bury them. But they happened. |

I want a penny every time we agree on something that should be and will never happen |

Fair chance it will happen before those necessary db changes happen :) |

Agreed
Apart what raistlin mumbled about burying poor graphicians. We can't afford that. When we bury them, they might take that as excuse and turn even lazier! |

Meanwhile, feel free to add any additional rip-offs of Whittaker's The Model demo to this thread, to keep it on-topic. :) |
