Friend lists (CSDb as a Social Networking site...eeek!)
The scene was always friendshipbased, right?
So wouldn't it be a nice idea to add some kind of friend list in your profile?
Not only to jump on the social networking bandwagon but also to shield off some (personal) data you only wish to share with good scene-friends like phonenumbers, IM info and addresses.

If we wait around long enough, will someone launch SceneBook. com or MyScene.com perhaps...? =-)

Of the handful of sites I used to visit regularly, all but CSDb turned into utter bullshit (subjectively speaking, of course). That must NOT happen with CSDb!!! Not that I have anything against friend lists... In fact I do. There're thousands of social networking sites out there, but there's only one CSDb. Why ruin it?

How about focusing those brainwaves on your new demo instead?
Thanks for your attention.

I agree with Cybernator. More database, less community. CSDb is the best scene related site for any platform, let's keep it that way. |

I agree with Cyb and rdx. If you wanna make friends, get your arse at X. |

Oswald is the CSDB equivalent of Cato, but instead of "Also, Carthage, methinks, ought utterly to be destroyed" he ends his speeches with "Also, tags, methinks, ought to be implemented"... ;) |

Well for once I agree with Oswald, tags would be utterly useful (nevertheless damn easy to implement). I can't understand the aversion, is there some special reason I don't know about (OK, apart from that we all hate Oswaldbogár's ideas)?
Just look at IMDb as an example and then tell me that tags are not useful. |

we simply dont believe in the "thousend monkeys" theory. (and it has been said many times already *sigh*). most people cant even use the existing stuff properly, so why do you believe they would suddenly be able to handle tags ? (and your imdb link actually shows it - lots of meaningless duplicated crap) |

IMDB is a perfect example of tags not working. Every movie has a million useless tags.

Note that my 'Cato'-comment was not in any way implying that Oswalds suggestion is bad, just that his persistence in mentioning it reminded me of the old Roman senator. :)
What should the guidelines be for the tag info? I would personally be interested in having the effects used in a demo tagged, so I'd like tags like 'zoom4', 'bumpmapping', 'multiplexer' or 'filled vector'.
However, I guess other people are interested in other things and would tag with some completely different criteria, which could create a mess, but still, I think it would be useful. |
