VIC20, +4, C16 and so on
I think it would be nice to have all Commodore 8 bit machines on the CSDb, it might even generate more demos and stuff for the less common systems. |

like its already said, that 40 entries of c128 and vic20 releases wouldn't harm csdb. when my groep is mainly c64, but did some c128 releases and a nice vic20 demo...where should i put it? its still 8 bit and familair with the c64.
i would like to see it in my group releases too, with a small remark that it's not c64 but vic20 or c128.
@tdj: coz that commodore made pc's doesn't mean that those pc's belong to the c64 family. maybe it is but the c64 and vic20 are close family and 8 bit.
well, let's await the plans for this database for the future :p
-2 start press any key..where is the any key?- |

I never said they belonged to the c64 family, but some people here stated that csdb should become the Commodore scene database, in which case Amiga & PC productions should be allowed too.
On a different note: About 10 years ago I was in Analogue, a PC demo group with lots of (ex) c64 sceners. Why shouldn't I be allowed to add the stuff we did back then as well? Music by Metal, Laxity, Drax, Jeroen Tel, graphics by Mirage & Hein .. I don't see any problem ;) And what about Smash Designs? Their PC demos belong here too! Just like the non-c64 FLT stuff! BRING IT ALL IN I SAY!
Or better still, let's just leave this be as a c64 scene database. |

TDJ, no need to base your arguments on logics, as this is a matter of taste. Noone who is beside the idea said they want to see pc or amiga prods.
I think anyone who supports this, thinks in this category: any commodore 8bitter.
IMHO csdb and the c64 scene would be a much richer community with spreading our view. Can anyone bring up arguments against this ? Or its just a leftover narrowminded machine addiction from the eigthies ?

I see no harm in adding VIC20/C128/DTV releases to CSDb. For i.e. the Plus4 scene there are already vibrant community sites, but perhaps those releases should be welcome here as well. I mean, it's not as if the focus is going to shift from C64 to any other platform, given the machine's history... |

Oswald, I would rather see PC and Amiga demos here than Vic20 stuff etc. Why would my preference for that be worth less than those of others? |

And if you are a Vic20, +4, C16 and so on lover, fuck off as well.
*You* are talking 8 bit, I am talking scenes connected to the c64. That can be amiga and pc as well. |

If you talk about VIC20 scene, you don't talk about a "scene connected to the 64" but you ARE talking about the 64 scene. |

Not in my eyes, sorry. Just because it's the same people doesn't mean it's the same scene.
Also, to be clear: I'm not proposing to enter all amiga & pc demos ever made, just those made by c64 sceners. I for one would love to find out who did what on other platforms. And if the vic20 etc. stuff can be added, this should be done as well. |

TJD, this would only shift the discussion to who's a scener and who's not.
For instance: are those Amiga demos made by C64 sceners or are the C64 demos made by Amiga sceners?
And what about Amiga/PC demos that are made by a group of persons, of which not all were active on C64?
I think it would be better to add a feature to have external releases attached to a scener. You can already add an external link, but then the release is still in the database.
For this Amiga/PC stuff, we'd need something to add external release links to a scener instead. |
