Talk:Custom Track Regions

How many?

I want to ask if someone here knows how many Regions could be created. I see it goes till 299 now but till where can it go? --MrSkopelos27 15:57, 8 December 2012 (UTC)

Restrictions

Should we not have restrictions on how regions are used? If you haven't noticed, we've managed to spend a rather measly amount of entries over the span of 200 regions, which is quite a sad accomplishment if you ask me. First off, what does it mean to "reserve" a region? Does it imply no one else can use that particular region once you reserve it? And if so, what determines what regions and how much of it you should get? Obviously no one has really given this much thought and we've all just been taking up regions left and right, making this list very fragmented. I propose that we remove all reservations for packs without any releases, because really? I also propose a set limit on how many slots a pack/distro family can have before it must begin recycling slots. 8 slots should be enough for an entire pack/distro family, considering old ones should become inactive over the course of 8 iterations, as it should be. If the proposed 8 slot limit passes, I also propose that pack/distro families have their slots aligned by multiples of 8 to prevent fragmentation. If you feel that 8 is too restricting then fine, 16 or any other powers of 2 will also suffice. I'm not expecting many packs/distros anyway (successful ones anyway), but I just want to clean up this mess. --Torran (talk) 05:30, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

I have reserved the regions, because I plan to release more distribs and I want use IDs in sequence order (ID6 and region use equal 2 lower digits). And in Germany we use this regions (at least the one of the current distribution). So my reservation is to avoid conflicts. So removing my reservations is contra productive.
