new categories
category: general [glöplog]
we DO just call everything (that is a demo) a demo.. or were you planning on 4mb, 8mb, 16mb etc. categories? not to mention the number of different categories under 4k, which has risen to obsessive/compulsive levels. (every power of 2, it seems)
more categories leaves more room for entry mistakes (e.g. 40k instead of 64k, or vice versa).. but hey, you're the one who fixes them, not me. :)

dont get silly with me andy, we both know that there are reasons for things beeing called intros and reasons for things beeing called demos. and that size limits on big sized prods is quite irrelevant whilst on small sized prods it matters quite much due to the many size limit compos that always occur.
i agree that searching for a 64k and not finding it couz its listed under a 40k is annoying, but given the new prodlist engine that allows you to search in multiple categories, i dont really see the problem in having things properly sorted.
there also is the "problem" of 64k intros beeing below 40k and not beeing labeled as 40k. which's category will mostly be in the hands of the makers calling it a 64k or 40k.
further more, intros used to have a diferent connotation before all the size limit compos became trendy, and thats the use that i plan to give to the "intro" category.
sorting 2611 intros into size categories doesnt really scare me. it'll take a few nights of free time but it's nothing i can't handle, with a few listings from a few people it would go alot faster though. would also help alot if they would all have their party info already filled out.. but unfortunatly it seems pouet is prolific in ppl complaining they cant edit the things but not on ppl who actually go around and add correct missing info.

oh yeah, and don't forget the 80k intros from the party iii, and the 100k intros from asm93 and naid95.. see where this is going?
i dont really have a problem adding those categories aswell. alternative would be 40kto128ksizeintros and nonsizelimitintros categories. atleast this way we have all sized limit intros divided into their proper restrictions. the only counter part is search methods but like i said, the prodlist.php allows for multiple fields now..
