Profession: *supporter*

I think we need some general name for profession like supporter, or something around that (can't think of better name for profession). I would like to give 10 to Xiny6581 for his C64 SID audio recording efforts. Really appreciated.

Also there are others like him I spot around CSDB. Working hard to keep this database consitent, adding more and more data, and relations. That's totally awesome. Love you all.

We also need a profession for the ranting weirdos whose fulltime job seems to be giving the scene entertainment & drama.

And delete "Importer" profession while at it. The "import" tag nobody dares to explain in more detail on releases are sufficient already.

Can't agree about the deletion of importer, some people are listed in groups simply as importers.

what does an "importer" do then anyway, besides swapping and/or cracking?

In the US part of the scene importers would call contacts or Euro boards and import the release. The term faded out over the years as modems and calling cards for Euros were easier to come by.

Totally different than swapping (mail) and cracking.

Not surprising that Euros don't see the need for the term, as I can only think of a handful of Euros importing releases. A good example of importing to Europe is Side of Hotline.

Its a legit term, like cracker or graphician, and should remain as a credit category.

that makes tons of "imports" not imports, because they were actually mailtraded from eg german to poland (also all the imports from uk to canada. etc) :)

what exactly is the difference between "importer" and "modem trader" then?

I've never read the term "modem trader" used in a release or as a job in a group.

I guess that is closer to runner than anything else.
... and precursor to PC courier groups there were C64 "runner groups" and even a few diskmags supporting them (ie: Runners World diskmag)

I guess the most famous, or infamous slaves, were the "zipfile" runners working for Toxic Roadkill
