Friend lists (CSDb as a Social Networking site...eeek!)

The scene was always friendshipbased, right?
So wouldn't it be a nice idea to add some kind of friend list in your profile?

Not only to jump on the social networking bandwagon but also to shield off some (personal) data you only wish to share with good scene-friends like phonenumbers, IM info and addresses.

Just a sunday afternoon brainwave.

We're having groepaz only as mod against it anyhow.


no you dont. feel free to ask any of the other mods. or maybe make a poll, maybe you can get about 1% of the active users to even bother reading it =P it's about 3 users that keep repeating the "tags tags tags" crap over and over, noone else gives a damn.

Yeah I still say that moderated tags would be fucking cool but I slowly tend to agree with Groepaz that with CSDb's current userbase it should/could never happen.

*sob*

Yeah... this discussion is really getting somewhere...
As usual.

Can't someone get something done?

Perhaps a professional policy should be set up for CSDb, stating in what direction development should go.

Either more database or more scene?
Focus on data or focus on networking?
History or present?

The Goal:
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.


that said, the most active contributors to the database are the least active forum users. and generally those who complain most, submit little (as always there are exceptions).

I had a discussion with Sander about CSDb last saturday, and he proposed that the data in the database should be exposed so that other parties could use build new, specific sites, on top of it. I agree with him, as this would clear the way for lots of ideas which are simply not feasible within the current structure here.

he should talk to perff - the data IS "exposed" already through webservices - for example c64.sk uses it already :)

RSS feeds are not webservices in my book. Might be that there's more to it than that, it which case I stand corrected (but will add that more info about it would be welcome)

I think Groepaz means the webservice. Certainly better than RSS, but still not so flexible as I'd like/need it to be (f.e not helping too much if I'd like to build up some kind of a third party tagging-layer plugin :D ).

Actually I've read this page before, kinda forgot about it. But I agree with you: this could be done better.

I know, I know: talk to Perff .. ;)
