I wrote a BASIC "intro" that loads Jumpman (the 1103 release i believe). Please add it! |

The real question is... by the csdb definition, should those be filed as "crack"? =P |

yes, because in my opinion, these rips have no scene value and also because the functionality to display them as rip-offs will never be made: like a tag stating it was ripped with just a line of text changed and excluding them from regular search. |

The opinions about value are subjective. From time to time we get requests to just wipe out lame stuff like rips and stuff. To a random Joe looking for the original releases a lot of rips might be just irritating, and same goes for people that have strong opinions about what the scene should be, or was, and often just want elite stuff in the database, but of course there is a scene connection and value in these "less worthy" finds, lame or not. It all depends what you look for. Hiding them would be some kind of history revisionism. The goal for CSDb is "to gather as much information as possible about the C64 scene. The sceners, the groups, the releases and events, and as much information about these as possible.". This will include lame attempts from the dawn of time and also lame ass shit releases - as long there is a scene connection. |

Lame as you want, I agree on keeping them, else we would start a "what I actually like in C64 scene only" database. They have some names in them and represent the _majority_ of local lamers/wannabe sceners of which each scene is made of; there are not only elites, they are the 1%.
I strongly support the possibility to have a "ripoff" attribute on demos, like there is a "recrack" on cracks. That would help immensely.
To complete it, a link field to the original being ripped off/recracked, that appears only when the attribute is checked, instead of having to just to comment about them being ripoffs because that's only possible with comments. |
