Field(s) of Dreams

Aside from what's already there here's what I would want in my dream CSDb release information for C64 Cracks:

"Known Imports:" (you'd enter release id=xxxxx)

"Known Recracks:"

No check boxes for Import or Recrack, these would be separate Release Types: "C64 Import", "C64 Recrack" with their own "Original Release" and even "Originally Released By" fields. No mention of other groups in the "Released by:" field except for who made that specific release. Also, other groups' imports wouldnt show up in the original releaser's Bio page any longer (so you dont have a dozen listings for the same crack with no way to tell which one is the original).

A checkbox for "Cartridge Freeze", or maybe "Tool Assisted Crack"?

"Estimated Release Date:" For when release date is not documented but an educated guess is available. This date wouldnt be used for stats BUT it would be factored into the order of releases when looking at a group/scener's Bio page.

"Groups/Individuals Greeted:" or just "Greetings To:"

"Fuckings To:"

"BBS's Advertised:"

"Country of Origin:" I know this is more than than a bit superfluous but I'd still like to see it. Hell I'd like to see "State/Province" too, while I'm dreaming.

"Original Scenebase Floppy:" - or other way to link back to the disk it came from (if it's online)

"Other Releases Announced/Mentioned:"

"SYS Line:"

Some thoughts on Credits:

Linking seems to cover Crunching, Freezing, Scrolltext Writing (I assume he who wrote the scroll did the linking), Recracking and/or "editing text in a malicious way", and other miscellaneous work. Maybe some of these could be broken out?

I'd also like to see a "Logo" credit.
