History[ | ]
Before The Portal Repository was founded people would share their portal coordinates in forum threads, Reddit posts or Discord chats, however the main problem with all of these options was that they were difficult to search, often were missing critical information such as galaxy, game mode and platform and would eventually get buried and lost over time.
Principles[ | ]
- 1. Quality
All addresses in The Portal Repository will contain at a minimum the planet name, biome, platform and game mode, with optional additional meta fields available to contain as much detail as possible.
- 2. Organization
Addresses use a taxonomy combination of categories, tags, and meta data to ensure easy readability, filtering and sorting.
- 3. Accessibility
Users are able to query the database from any type of device using flexible search criteria in order to return only desired and relevant results. Furthermore, the process to submit addresses to the Repository is simple and user-friendly.
- 4. Objectivity
All portal addresses that meet the minimum quality requirements are qualified to be published, regardless of any associations with other player groups, hubs, civilizations, alliances, etc. (Exception being the use of vulgar/explicit names).
