BBS
Why not include a section for BBS' as well? It's a big part of the scene that's not sufficiently supported by CSDB so far. |

Why not just put it in the trivia box? |

Does not always work, because if I wanna look up a certain BBS' history and record (let's say The Dungeon) and I neither know that The Alchemist was running it nor what groups it hosted... What am I supposed to do? Why make it so complicated?
Second reason: I repeatedly wanna stress that the Board scene deserves to be documented more precisely and as sufficient as any other stuff here. My opinion. |

BBS's were/are a part of the scene, so why not add the option? |

I agree that BBS' should be represented. There were some classic places to visit back in the day.

BBSes are more than just trivia. They are one of the highlights of the scene. They were around during the right time with the right people and it would be great if they were represented here together with graphics/sysop and even user credits.

anyway, yes, BBSes should be documented properly. |

I've been following this thread for some time now, and it looks like there is no way around the BBS's.
However I know next to nothing about BBS's in the scene, so I have no idea on how to make the framework for registering info for them. Now I got a task for you out there. How should we implement BBS's in CSDb?
I mean should BBS's be added as a new releasetype, or should they have their completly own main-section (like sceners, groups etc. have now), or, or.. ??

Thank you, Perff. Well, let me give some suggestiones. I think Boards need their own main section (just like Groups, Coders, etc.)
Firstly, one has to add the BBS name. Secondly, the SysOp and Co-Sysop(s) need to be added. I do not know about the callers, because it is rather difficult to add all names and I cannot see the benefit of just adding the most frequent callers.
Thirdly, the group names are an important feature. Most boards served as heqadquarters to some groups, something of interest I believe.
Well, and finally some trivia stuff or so. I haven't thought about that thorougly, how about some further suggestions and ideas from you guys?
Best Regards,
