dentro vs onefiledemo
I noticed that there are one category for dentro and one for onefiledemo... so what is the difference?

One word I'd definately wanna keep: Hoaxmo... Meet Crest =)
Oooh-
I'm pretty sure that those Crest sceners do read CSDb... But, what the heck, I'll throw in 'vapormo'. :)
If anything, hopefully the Crest savants are egged onto finishing "Meet Crest". :)
Enjoy.

HCL: To me, "stopid" is a more stupid word than "Dentro".
And ironic or not, you *did* introduce a new term, despite your proclaimed dislike for any term besides "demo".

Now...if that makes sense, shouldn't this make sense too:
"Onefiledemos are collections of many small demos, while a dentro is just one very big onefiledemo. So it makes sense to have a separate category for this kind of demo." |

@vanja: so you would call demos like "future shock" or "metal bar" dentros? nopes.
i don't think we need the term "dentro". all demos after all, and the "mega" infront of "mega demo" just describes the size of the demo. anyone wrote a real mega demo yet? it should be about 1000000 times bigger than an average demo :D
and while we're at it: i think all trackmos should be renamed into "sectormos" on c64 because none of the trackmos actually has a trackloader. or maybe we should call 'em "blockmos"? :DDD

hmm... what about kilo demos instead of mega demos? =) |

Vanja: We're not discussing "stopid" here, besides i don't agree with you. I'm sorry for messing up your dictionary by *introducing* that word, it really wasn't on purpose. It took me many days to code that demo, but just a few seconds to write that word in the note. Do i as well mess things up now, when i introduce the word "aartjlö" ?! or when exactly do i *introduce" ??
Back to the topic.. Again, why is a demo put into another category just because it loads sectors in a special way? Some other demo might toggle $d020 in a very special way, why isn't that enough to have its own category? The track- or sector-loader has nothing to do with the demo, rite?!

i dont think it was the loader that caught peoples attention when scoopex released mental hangover and called it a trackmo, what was different was that you didnt hit left mouse button to continue, and the way the demo was put together, how the parts where fitted. and judging by how the term has been used since i have always assumed that trackmo=multifile demo where you dont press space, megademo=multifile demo where you do press space. now bring in wd so they can explain the chillmo concept |

Hollowman: So it's perfectly ok for you that "trackmo" doesn't have anything to do with "track"?
Even my own mistake "trashmo" has more to do with "trash". |

Quote: Ok.. now i give you more words :)
Intro: funny program with the purpose to be put 'in front' of another program.
Demo (includes subtitles Demo, 64k-demo, 4k-demo, one-file-demo etc..): stand-alone program, often interesting and nice to watch.
The following words we throw away and never use again:
dentro, trackmo, trashmo, wedtro, as well as all other stopid combinations.
So be it ;).
i support hlc, fuck those 16/32 bit computer scene trash terms.
i also use the term "small demos" on my web site to define 1kb demos, music rips, plain logo show files etc. |

100% agreed. demos are no intros, but demos can have intros :)

still i argue that the "trackmo" term makes sense because these demos indeed ARE a category of its own... i also would like a term similar to "64k demo" or "one file demo" but there's no such easy term for it. any suggestions? |
