@lanodan @pixel @SuperDicq Does promoting someone else's product/service because you actually like it count as an ad, by your definition?

@Zergling_man @beardalaxy They literally gimped two of their consoles (the N64 and GameCube) because of their concerns about piracy.

@Rocket I'm sticking to MySQL for this project. I got the tagging thing down. Though, I'd probably go with Apache's CouchDB if I do anything else that requires a NoSQL database.

@beardalaxy
I was thinking of a name that sounded neutral as possible. We are anti-censorship for the most part, but you said that you don't want the place to be solely associated with loli games and TND/"ETHNOGLOBE NOW" simulators, especially when Poast is helping with hosting the service.

>i personally don't see why indie games have to correlate with being commercialized tho.

I don't know. I guess it's because there have a been a lot of hobbyist developed games before the rise of commercial indie games and that a huge chunk of these hobbyist games are nowhere near professional quality.

I love it when Poast, DRC, Nicecrew, and the like try to dogpile someone despite the fact that their instance is already defederated.

@applejack I guess you're right. I do plan on including mods for the site as well.

Here is what I have so far. A table for games, a table for tags, and a table for tag links. Eventually, there will be a table for mods, which is why tag_link either references a game or a mod.

Well, it turns out that the vast majority of NoSQL databases are source-available proprietary, and the few FOSS ones are a bit too confusing.

@applejack >You wouldn't want to store tag data on posts themselves

I was thinking about going with a two table solution. Not the three table one.

This is why a fucking hate SQL so much. I need to create THREE TABLES just to implement tagging. At least, that's the "proper way". Not to mention all the JOINS and nested queries I have to do.

I should've used MongoDB for this project, but I feel like it's too late to turn things around.

@LukeAlmighty Also, if you kill yourself while wearing a skirt, you are a victim of murder and not suicide.

@gabriel I hope it will be an open standard like VHS or CD.
