Credits in user comments
Lately I've been noticing a lot of people entering credits in the user comments, or members in the trivia section of a group. Why not just enter this data the way it's meant to I wonder?
Example: http://noname.c64.org/csdb/release/?id=28712&show=review |

"C64 crack group release" is the most stupid thing I heard in ages. Why not call it what we have been called it for the past 20 years - cracks or in csdb lingo "c64 crack".
its quite interesting that people are screaming about "cracking" non-protected games when it has been in fashion since the later part of the 80ies.. |

Iopop: I agree, it is stupid, but there needs to be some other definition, at least to stop some ragheads nagging me all the time for calling things C64 cracks when they should just be "releases" (even though between them and me I probably know the definitions longer than they have been in the scene ;)).

ok, that explains it..
if the revisionists want to have it that way , let them sort out which games really had protection in the past. :)

Iopop: yep. let them work it out. :)
The most important thing of this thread however is the missing "intro coder", "intro graphician", "intro musician" which we could use for cracks. So many intros are unsung.

And somthing that I really miss is an option to add translated by. As if someone takes the time to translate a game from one language to english, they really should be credited for that. |

Yup. Even more work is repainting graphics from one language to another.

Hence my solution of adding intros etc. as a seperate 'product' (not so much a release) and attaching the credits to that.
Same for a game. Wouldn't it be great if you could find all other cracks of a game with just 2 clicks? |

in conclusion the way of storing cracks into this db is not optimal. One of the reasons why I never bothered to enter any Triad cracks, new or old.
We will look into this and fix it in CSDb v2.

Agreed, in the meantime I've used "Text" + explanation in the notes.
Another credit I'd like to see is "Sampling" or "Samples" since the only way to credit something like this at the moment is with "Music" which feels wrong. |

Both Iopop & me are involved in csdb v2, where I personally will focus on a new entity relationship model so .. patience ;) |
