I like your new style for uploading.
I was thinking to create a rule to be like this: custom covers for covers with custom spines and retail covers with original spines.

This is what Ive been doing from now on. Since I always make full retail covers and covers with the custom spines, it only makes sense to call the retail covers "Retail Covers", and the ones with the spines "Custom Covers".

When did we decide that badchad?

You know this isn't a kind of a one man can decide anything show especially regarding cover naming conventions and stuff. Any change in things seen on the main page have to be discussed with ALL cover admins! you know this is like saying. Hell from now on I'll upload all snes covers not under snes_..... but under sns_......! Seems like minor thing but completely destroys database consistency.

This said I'm actually a supporter of the idea of calling only true retail artwork covers retail at least for the NES world. On the other hand we than need someone who changes ALL of the previous posted nes covers from retail to custom.

You wanna do that badchad? Seems like you just raised your hand didn't you?

and the ones with the spines "Custom Covers".

I agree with thiis naming change, altough I'd use 3 tier classification:

Retail: The ones that don't have our spine logo.
Alternate: Covers that have our spine logo.
Custom: Covers that have custom artwork.

The next NoNo. We agreed quite a long time ago when snow wanted us to streamline our cover descriptor naming that we only use two terms for covers Retail or Custom. This describes everything you need. Any other descriptor would again just clutter our database and is honestly useless anyway because what info do you need? If it is retail or custom that's all.

OK.

How about then calling the covers like the 2 Zombie nations both retail as they both use retail artwork, and the covers that use totally custom artwork, like that one Gauntlet cover or the realistic mario covers, get called custom.

I dont think theres any reason to get all worked up. I didnt think that what I was doing here was harmfully altering. Its not like Ive been on a rampage changing everything as I see fit. All Ive been doing is uploading only true retail covers as "Retail" and the others as custom. And thats only the covers that I have uplaoded lately. And seeing as how I normally include both versions, I dont see any reason to file them both as "Retail". You clearly just said you support my idea so Im not sure why it sounds like I just made a huge mistake here. Seemed more like common sense...

Plus, I figured that as we add more full retail covers in the NES section (since we have barely any right now) we could change the custom retails at the same time rather than changing them all now. It seems like weve slowly been picking up more and more on full retail covers lately too. But I mean sure, If what Im doing here is going to completely destroy our NES database then I guess Ill start changing myself bit by bit everyday...

Woah, shit just got real in here.  :o

Just wanted to say cheers to Chad and Akumu for the new covers.  Especially thrilled to have one for Zombie Nation, which I just picked up a little over a week ago.  Great timing, mate!  ;)

I don't understand what is your problem Tiktektak with Badchad and Arseen?
Arseen was telling his point of view about the NES covers which is very good and Badchad was uploading the covers as it should be for all.
If he's doing a great job with the covers then I see no problem here my friend so chill out.

I dont think its your place to step in on this matter and its probably best if you just stay out of it. This doesnt need to turn into an argument.

I dont agree with Arseen's idea either. It would just complicate things. I just think we should only file true retail covers as "Retail". Anything else is custom. Simple enough.

No need to fight.  It should be simple:
Retail=original work reworked to look high quality, but staying down the line of original.
Custom=different than retail (includes placing the red nes logos on top), thus making it a custom.... This includes alternates, custom art, ANYTHING that doesn't make it retail.

This is Chubby; He hates Game Case Sellers who steal our artwork to profit their lazy kingdoms.

But he sure loves his Shaq Fu!

From what I understand (maybe I was wrong) Tiktektak was arguing with you about the covers because he wanted that you upload retail covers (the ones with the red logo) and you've change it to custom.
About the idea of Arseen again I think is good but is my opinion nothing more, nothing less.
Anyway no problem I will let go.
Sorry if I offended someone :)

Damn that was pain to download with slow connection. ;D

Looks to be 96 DPI, so no site worthy, but should work as placeholder cover until we get the original artwork cover just fine.
