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. |

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. |

The outer-c64 links thing could be interessting, but I think it would at least need another page per scener, as in not displayed on the same page as the C64/whatever Commodore 8 bit stuff. Like "View other releases" or something.
As for the Vic20 Scene, IT IS the C64 Scene in effect, I agree with Graham there. |

So I'm in the Vic20 scene as well? Cool .. |
