They have the best football players in the world and sexy samba-dancing tropical girls. But they also have Evil Ryu and chirinea, two great MobyGames contributors. Now, another son of the Amazon has joined them: Macs Black. Accumulating nearly 5000 points earned mostly from excellent new game submissions in just a couple of months, the new #50 proves once again that quality and quantity go together hand in hand on our site.

Welcome to the Top 50 Team, Macs Black: keep up this good work for many time! ;-D

É isso aí, mano: siga em frente!

Macs Black is clearly one of the fastest Top 50 contributors in MG history, he got there in just a couple of months! Makes me proud of being Brazilian! Besides, I'm loving all that green and yellow in the top contributors page... =)

Meus mais sinceros parabéns!

Keep it up Macs. Your entries have been fantastic in terms of creativity and accuracy.

Congratulations, Macs Black - come and visit the forums!

We're being invaded! We're being invaded!

This is cool piece of statistics, man! :)

You are missing someone there :)

Heh, it seems he counted you as a Canadian, Zovni. Look to the bright side, at least he didn't count you among the Brazilians. =D

Oh well, we are used to it by now.

I'd expect he'd count him as Israeli. Our flags are so damn similar :) Every time I look at the list, I see the light blue flag and think: "Who is this Israeli guy?.." and then I realize it's just ol' Zovni ;)

Oops. Fixed. Blame it on the Brazilians.

I thank you all for the kind words. It really makes me want to contribute even more.

I must say, though, that my biggest fear is Mobygames pulling a CDDB move on us. Let's hope not.

What's a CDDB move?

CDDB is a database of CD information that programs could reference, which could return information for a CD like album title, track names, and so on. However, after many people had been using and freely contributing to it, it was sold and went commercial, requiring a license to access the information. Now many programs instead use the free alternative freedb.

(I looked it up at Wikipedia, and...it doesn't bear thinking about.)
