Trolley Follies
"The entry was deleted by a moderator on 2018-06-20 12:13:48+00 for reason: basic, not worthy"
until now, i always thought we are acting by the rule of "we dont judge quality" here. apparently that has changed now? please point me to the new rules that now define what is worthy and what is not. (and why this: http://www.blackcastlesoftware.com/games/trolleyFollies/ is not) thanks. |

if they're just BASIC programs with NO scene links/history whatsoever to preserve, then I'm really not too bothered if they're wiped. |

The same, in approx, 20-50 years the current scenemembers will be dead from this and that.
Will the server casted by noone hold the stuff still, an empty echo? From SEUCK and BASIC games onto demogroups pushing the machine for more than 1 year.
No,
Enjoy it while it lasts. What you are witnessing is death, not birth. Gosh someone mentioned X 2028, lol. A great handfull of people left back then ;D |

Sure, there's tons of BASIC crap no one would miss, but this also applies for machine language releases, and as crappiness lies in the eye of the beholder, it's a bad idea to classify what stays on that base :)
my 1.5 cents: Personally, I don't really see the point in this cleansing approach. Are we running out of server space? Do we need BASIC&SEUCK free CSDB to make clear that BASIC sucks, SEUCK is lame, cool (40 years old) kids should learn Assembler, finally? However, I think BASIC stuff released at _real_ events should be kept, not sure if standalone BASIC/SEUCK compos matter enough to "scene" (for whatever that means, at the end of the day very few people, here: admins, will define that, as this ain't Commodore Scene Democracy Base, just in case anyone forgot, past discussions have shown it's good to get along with that).
Let's wait for an official definition by our leaders.
Gabbo will tell us what to do! |

Indeed, it's the Commodore Scene Drama Base! |

Please go ahead. Ban all of them! Hit the delete button! Ohh, it will make you feel like god! I promise it will. Make everybody part of your bad feeling. Let the juices of omnipotency flow through you, oh what a rush! That amazing tingling sensation. I bet the csdb will then become exactly the dreamland of quality you dream of! :-)
But seriously though. You have done great work for c64 scene, but please don't fuck this up. CSDB has been an archive of everything c64. "the c64 scene database" has been written even to the csdb-logo.gif itself since 2002 (iirc) or so. If you want to make your dreamland of quality happen, please do it somewhere else or implement some kind of tagging/voluntary filtering system here. |

I don't know. There are excellent BASIC and SEUCK productions, so deleting everything that falls into one broad category doesn't make much sense to me. |

As the old saw goes, you can write FORTRAN in any language. Flip side of that, a skilled artisan often produces wonders despite their ostensibly terrible tools. |
