CSDB as a "released at" field?

right,

Celtic has asked me to post the following for further discussion on here:

in the same manner as the Compunet entry has been added as a "released at" option, another addition could be made as "CSDB" to denote the modern entries that have been/will be first released directly onto CSDB and not the web/scene/parties/compos. to reflect CSDBs position in the current scene as CNET was in the past.

DISCUSS PLEASE

the admins will make a decision based on the discussion.
i will abstain from the discussion because i raised the question.

There is still active scene FTP's, i think you have to take those into consideration as well. We're one of the groups that "always" upload to Digital Dungeon first for instance.

Then add digital dungeon as an option.... There's supposedly a button for any user to do so. As Ste said in the other thread, this is supposed to be a full and accurate database of C64 releases yet some stuff has released at this or that party and everything else seems to appear from the ether.

I think any valid "released at" should be added for accuracy.

Next to Compunet and events, I guess boards should be added too, finally giving them some weight here.

But adding CSDb to that list makes me wonder how far should we take it? There're probably some productions first released on 'IRC' or 'Lemon64' for example. I feel only CSDb is the exception here.

Also adding FTP's to the list makes a bit of sense to me, however listing those would've very limited added value for me.

compunet as release origin makes sence.... csdb on the other hand not so much.

consequently, since csdb is an archive- and not a release site, we should establish a rule that a release can not be added if it isnt either X weeks old or has already been released on a scene site. then also "released at TDD" makes a little bit of sense.

ie, instead of petting those on the back that abuse csdb as a release site, i'd rather support those that do not (hy sixx =P) and encourage the others to use other means of releasing.

(personally i think that disallowing anything that wasnt atleast transfered through punter once sounds like a damn good idea =P)

although like sander, i see little value in having this info listed to me (and i also cant imagine someone giving a rats ass on updating it).

I'd welcome a rule that only allows for CSDb entries if they were previously released at a party or antidote :)

While i dont care much for a "released at csdb" category, i do however think the "must be released someplace else" rule is a load of <insert profanity here>.

I was under the impression "Released at" would be "at an event". Compunet & CSDb hardly qualify as "Events" do they?

Quoting STE'86
OK i have added "compunet" as an "event" on the "released at" list.

strictly speaking it is closer to a BBS but in order to set a "released at" tag it has to be an event AFAIK.

COMPUNET (CNET)

Sure, but still my definition of an event is somewhat different.

Ofcourse i guess in the broadest sense, Compunet could be described as an "Event" in c64 history :-D

For this purpose i'd say something like searchable tagwords would be better suited.

WTF? "Abusing" CSDB as a release site?
If I do some small prod that isn't released at a party or other compo, CSDB is the natural place to release it.
Most of the guys interested in C64 demos stops by here, so of course this is where I upload it!

Ok, my input on this:

After choosing "release type", for example:
"C64 one-file demo"

A list of checkboxes appear, where it was released.
example: "compunet", "party", "bbs"

when choosing party or bbs etc, then a list of those come up.

If you look at the way that nVIDIA has a menu to find your gfx
card drivers, by selecting something, then an additional
list comes up next to it, and one after that, i think this is a good and easy way to do it.
