Simfile Database

[Charlo]

I like this idea. I've always preferred downloading singles as opposed to packs, but at the moment there is no good place to do that. It would be important to figure out right away whether files would be hosted on the site itself (opening yourself up to more legal responsibility, as well as higher cost) or on mediafire/another file host (running the risk of hosting a bunch of dead links).

If it were me, I would hold off until we see what Bemanistyle's redone file database looks like. I'm fairly certain that they lost everything and aren't going to be restoring the old DB. Instead, they're using this opportunity to improve the system. However, they don't seem to consider it a high priority, as it's been 4 months since they got back up.

I would be willing to help out with code or design. I've got a mini-DB for my own files at http://charlo.gamemakersgarage.com/stepmania/ which I coded myself. It's searchable and has a tagging system for genres (http://charlo.gamemakersgarage.com/stepmania/genres.php).
