Pouet

The title of this article is incorrect because of technical limitations. The correct title is Pouët.

Pouët, or pouet.net, is arguably the largest comprehensive on-line directory for the demoscene today. The site was established in 2000 by Laurent Raufaste (a.k.a. Ana|ogue of Mandarine) and Raphaël Quercy (a.k.a. Kenët / Mandarine).

While there are several noteworthy archives and forums in existence (i.e. SCENE.ORG), Pouet.net is unique in that it offers screenshots and commentary on each multimedia production or software tool ("Prods") and links to an external URL where that file may be found, rather than storing the file locally. Pouet does not cater to any one specific hardware or software platform, listing Prods for Commodore 64, Amiga, MS-DOS, Windows, and even game consoles and handheld PDAs.

While useful as resource to research or locate demoscene-related files, Pouet also hosts a notorious discussion forum. Discussions which have become derailed and off topic are deemed "pouetized".
