Release id #13225 : Microloops
Afaik there was also a Microloops II and III, but I can't seem to find a trace of it on the net. Anyone have it and would like to add it? |

somehow this reminds me of that stupid "we spread it via mail and don't upload" attitude that arised some years back. |

Quite odd to limit your audience like that, but ok, if he intends to spread it in the "real undergound" only, so be it.
Question is, if someone adds it here, would CMP come over and delete it? |

Also, I don't get the logic: "if I put it on csdb it will be lost amidst all the other releases and almost nobody will download it so instead I put it out in a way that even less people will download it!" :Z |

So how about adding a feed to the front page with the five top rated releases from the last 30 days (or whatever)?

No, i'm quite assured that his intentions was to cherish the usage of Antidote and C64 BBS's in general. While The Studio still was one of the two last available dial-up BBS'es, CMP was one of the more active users up to the bitter end. And since you very seldom see him around here, I doubt he would delete the entry. I doubt he would delete it anyway. |

It's one thing to support mailtrading, the boards or whatever by holding back the upping of releases to sites like CSDb, but it's like others have said; not distributing via these sites is, essentially, cutting your nose off to spite your face. Not everyone wants to use Antidote (i don't, i have close to zero history with boards and the only modem my C64 has ever had is a Compunet one) so by removing those people from the potential audience which, lets face it, is small to start with is pretty ridiculous... |

I have the perfect solution: we enter the information in csdb (because we *know* these productions exist) and if the files are uploaded, so be it. After all: the one responsible may claim it's his work, but the knowledge about it is public. So even if he wanted to delete the entries, he would have no right to do so.
I love it when a plan comes together. |

There's even a way to add a reason for the lack of a file to the site now so that'd work nicely. =-) Anyone know what else is missing...? |

What CMP could have done, and what still can be done of course, is to publish a post on .sk saying that two musicpacks from him are out, and that they are downloadable from Antidote. Cause I reckon there is not some sort of holy alliance between .sk and CSDb.
As far as I am concerned I couldn't be bothered less. Information wants to be free and all that (and I dig CSDb, and do not really understand the major problems some have with it). Though I fully believe it was a consent decision of CMP to put it out on Antidote in order to make ppl support the board (rather than in anger towards this place). I would also fully support the official releases of the different crews to be put up on their WHQ at first, in order to make it trickle down to the other sites in due course. Just for phun. |

How about also spreading his cg graphics? He's been posting loads of beautiful and original pieces on antidote, some of the best petscii art I've ever seen.
Since you guys are so keen on getting cmp's work out to the public, why not put together a graphics collection? Or do you prefer just to sit around and speculate about him, his motives and supposed elitism? |
