Release id #171932 : Nike Patike!
so, if something haven't been released by some group, should it be on csdb? and who is then the one who did the release?
asking for a friend :) |

> should it be on csdb
It exists, it's on disk that somehow reached another person (= spread), doesn't contain private/sensible infos, it's valid.
If the authors are now ashamed of what they did in their youth, it's their problem =) |

"who did the release" and "when" are still a valid questions for all those things someone found on a random workdisk. |

ashamed, right ian :)
how about publishing unfinished demo parts on csdb as several single file demos that you found on some private floppies?
what is next? publishing each note we used to wrote one to another as "it exists" and call it a demo. |

see Amok Preview Logo :)
Apparently whatever they find qualifies as a release now. |

If it was a private disk it wouldn't land in the hand of someone else, and dumpers just dump and share thousands of d64s without checking every bit in them most of the times.
Publishing each note is out of question, since a long time private notes get removed from CSDb. |

If only. Most people doing mass transfers just blindly dump all and everything, and then upload. Obviously lots of private disk found their way into those uploaded packs that way. Before, people like Acidchild used to make sure that those private things are not spread further or even uploaded on csdb. But since this Assembly64 thing became popular random people don't seem to care anymore, and think everything is a release.
And still, the question who then is the person who released it, and when, is a very valid question for those cases. For anyone taking this stuff seriously anyway. |

about the release source and date:
Onslaught Design
bottom line: if transferrers/uploaders dig out and upload what was work in progress, then it is released by [transferrers/uploaders] at [date of uploading] |

and that was what I did to those releases, but the uploader revert the chages and locked the entries :D |
