|

So, I have thought about this for a while, on and off over the past few years. I was gonna try and keep it "secret" but what's the point if I don't have the ability to develop it myself.
Ok, the premise is simple:
A site whereby people can guess the warez release dates of upcoming big releases. E.g. when will the xbox 360 release of Max Payne 3 come out, or the Blu Ray release of Men in Black 3. People would get higher points for guesses which were further away. People could submit upcoming releases in category for "guessing at", and the highest pointed people would be the moderators who mark releases as valid. Any member of the community can post a release for approval by a moderator. Once approved, it is listed on the site against a "upcoming release" and points are awarded to all of those that guessed. This idea could also be extended to release groups, with anon / file sharing being a low point earner "catch all".
A few points:
- No warez links - it's just a community thing, with release tracking.
- Good opportunity to list releases and build up a community like NFOHump once was.
- Google Ads or something could be implemented on a small form once it's taken off to generate revenue.
What are your thoughts? I wonder if there are any of the NFO devs around that may be interested in taking on such a project? Or anyone else here who has the skillz?

I don't really understand what the purpose would be. It would be just random guessing since there's no way to know when a release will arrive. Another problem is the window. Would you guess in days or in hours?

I don't think Google would like that, since even without direct links the subject matter of the site would be copyright infringement.

Ok forgot google ads, there are other options on ads.
The idea here is to build a community surrounding release tracking. people could "watch" big releases they're looking forward to, guessing the day it comes out to the scene.
so it serves two forms - one the fun of guessing - it generates discussion regarding big upcoming releases, and two it is actually a release tracking/monitoring site.

No it can include the NFOs. It's like NFOhump including an index of upcoming releases, and the ability to guess when it'll be ripped.

The community can post NFOs as per my previous posts. These need to be approved by a mod though before they go public.
And as for those two sites, one of them is German so I cannot tell, and the other- I see no way of voting on upcoming releases, and when they'll hit the scene?

Doesn't sound like a bad idea to me.
