Entries without files...

Taking the time to add demos with credits & screenshots without uploading the files seems strange to me...
Perhaps someone who's doing it could explain it to me?

I totally agree on this matter, there are too many examples of this at csdb.

csdb is mostly about information and not files.

Agree with Graham. I am particularly interested in the socio-metrics and (types of) projects people have been involved in.
Only recently I was adding some info on and demos by the Trays dudes. By googling I discovered they also made a game but could not find the game itself, I however added the entry nonetheless (so someone else can perhaps add it later) as I believe this information is valuable.

I agree with Graham, files are a plus but should not be required.

My point was that there is an upload function so why not use it & upload the file as well while you're at it, it just takes a few seconds.

If you have the file, sure ..

(ofcourse when you have a screenshot you probably have the file as well)

I agree with Zyron here.
there's just no point adding a release without uploading it. lots of people come over here to search for wares and when finally found it they notice there is no downloadlink. it's frustrating sometimes.

>>(ofcourse when you have a screenshot you probably have the file as well)
that's exactly what I mean actually. it only takes a second to upload the release aswell.

Come on, there is more to it; why would we bother about trivia and stuff if that is true....

I have to admit, that sometimes I have been quite lazy to search through my whole disk collection for a release, and then transfer and upload it. but I did this anyway, even if it took longer. (for Mozkit, it took a year, because I didn't retrieve the disk Mozkit #1).

In my opinion; no file = no release

Be careful with deleting unlocked entries; you might trigger the some automatic CSDb banning mechanism.
A trusted user and great supporter of CSDb triggered this just yet :-/
