A new "Websites" category on pouet.net

category: general [glöplog]
hei hei !

What about a new category on pouet about "demoscene website" where we can add links and screenshots (like any other prod) to demoscene related websites/homepage.

I think that category fit the spirit like any others site since demoscene website are an important part of the scene now, and they mostly replace our dear old diskmags...

Tell me we do you think about that idea (pouet's sysop too !)...

preacher: doomed ?

Yes. Considering the kind of websites people post on IRC on #coders, for example.. it's much easier to add fake links to websites than to productions, and in the end there are very few serious scene websites anyway. I wouldn't want to check a link only to end up on a goatse equivalent.

I can't but agree with Preacher.

Sorry Rez but as I already told you, I don't think it's a good idea :)

I can't help but join the masses. Thumb down for this idea.

The idea in itself is quite ok, alas it gonna be pouet-ized within seconds.

A solution for not polluting the prods would be to manage the links sections like the prods section, with open submitions and comments.

No, for several reasons:
- Websites are volatile
- Websites can break if not tended to.
- It is newskool.
Lord Graga, but if the site is *A*M*I*G*A*?
:P

And Turbo Pascal demos/intros no longer run on anything made in the last decade.

Try a certain award-winning Kolor demo on current-day Nvidia hardware -irony of the thing being Nvidia-only to begin with nonwithstanding.

GBA and Amiga PPC would like to have a word with you.

While your arguments are idiotic, your opinion I share. Let's be buddies anyway :)

you are not much better, are you? ;)
@Shifter: Yes, let us be friends <3

@everyone else: With "volatile", I meant that if it was, for example, a group website, then it could have to be updated with news of different kinds, possibly new layouts, etc. All groups (including Scoopex, we're working at it) who care for their website will change designs once in a while to keep everything looking fresh. You know you don't want to see a flash 4 based website from way back, even if it was totally hip by then.
You could keep caches, sure, but for what reason?

It just seems to me that there is no actual demoscene related culture or general appreciation towards group websites, or any non-community websites concerning the demoscene.

By the "oldskool" factor, then I am the sort of bitch who likes to see hardware getting pushed to some sort of limits. Websites doesn't allow this. They have to be nice, and run on everything, which is why someone invented java. BLABLABALBAL. And Java is evil, because it runs on BLABLAeverything, and therefore it cannot be optimized towardsBLA running at homogay BALBLbAldabdlAbDlASBDAKJSdbASdkjB!

What I am trying to say is that I am right and you are wrong if you do not see sense in what I am saying.

Oh god, somebody stop me.

We've never traded or swapped websites. Hence they are not the object of our concern.
