I think it would be cool to have a new files page, where files aren't just displayed, they are also cross-referenced with the most popular downloads of that week. There could be a bunch of sorting features, if necessary.

Side note: check the filearchive@ticalc.org link in the news item. It should be a mailto: link instead of an http: link. :)

It seems to be fixed now, although I wasn't the one who fixed it.

I don't think this would be very good because if people are going to almost always pick the most popular program first and forget the least popular, then the whole thing will be unbalanced. Great programs that are brand new will be on the bottom of the list! New programs shouldnt be in the list until after the first week or so just to make it fair.

Fair is fair. It often takes a while for newer programs to get popular (and to get downloaded!). In all reality, it's a good method of survival of the fittest. For instance, take note of the "popularity" of ZShell. Although this shell is considered outdated, it still leads the pack by a few thousand.

Lets get a window for the front page that shows the Top Ten from the previous week. With the scripting wizardry of this place it can be updated to show the last week in real time.

That would be cool. Implement a record box and a top ten box for the week. It could definitely be done, especially with the format of this site.

Great idea, just one suggestion, maybe have a place that tells which calc the file is for. Some files have a calc number in them, but some don't. For example, which calc is the "ztetris.zip" for.

Wow, All I have to contribute is 28 files and I am in the listings, or for now. I contributed like 4 so far, that is because I don't have too much time to submit all of mine. In a month, I should be in there, close to the bottom in the busiest authors, but in there.

Within three days, imfamously censored (sort of) Ti-calc went anarchy, and imfamously uncensored segfault.org went under total censorship. Kind of odd.
oh well, until segfault gets going... MAE LING NAKED AND PETRIFIED!

This is EXCELLENT! Now, HOW ABOUT INCLUDING SOME SCREENSHOTS FOR THE SHELLS AND THE WINDOWS UTILITIES AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT DOESN'T HAVE SCREENSHOTS YET?

Well I don't think I want screenshots of Windows Utilities... the ability to read their docs seems like it would be much more useful. I think lots of shells already have screenshots, but it'd be nice to have an UPDATED shells comparison page...

I agree. The shell comparison page is like three years old now.

I guess it doesn't even exist any more.

Hey just for all the Hays fans out there. I'm officially announcing the opening of Hays IP. Me along with 6 other people have decided to take shitty programs written in BASIC and fix the bugs, add graphics, rename, etc. and rerelease them. Our first was Basgrey, our fix for greylib for the 89, and our second will be Nuclear Apocolypse, the fix for Global-Thermal-Nuclear War for the 89. If you have any comments goto the website above.

You guys are retards, you just take games and add to them without asking the authors? Yeah, there's a noble cause. No one wants there code taken, renamed, and modified and published by a new author. Why don't you get a life and program your own games. This makes me sick.

Nick Chaves

P.S. You have fans?

Amen. Hays, you suck. Those are OTHER PEOPLE'S PROGRAMS! Have a little respect.

Do you realize that no one like you? There was even an anti-Hays article on this very site a while back. Won't you just go away and stop annoying people? What is your problem, and what makes you think that it is your place to take people's games and makes them better. Everything, including code, has an inherent copyright. You should recognize that piracy and plajiarism may get you into trouble. Knock it off. Go away.

Wow - I agree with the above comments. That's really crappy. You didn't say you don't ask the author's permission, but I assume you don't.

Too bad, really. Be sure to include the word "Hays" in all your pirated programs, so I don't waste my time downloading your garbage. :P

You guys even give Hays a bad name. Hays at least released one POS original game. (2 player guess BTW)

I think that the new features that you guys added are great. I love being able to know how many people have downloaded my program instead of wondering if anyone has downloaded it. Keep up the good work guys!
