been meaning to ask, and couldn't find it in the forum or faq... what exactly
does pre'd stand for in this context? i thought it meant pre-aired, but i'm
guessing it means something like previewed?

release database
when a group pre's a release, the release will automatically be
registered in the pre-database. this is huge database which contains all the
releases ever release into the scene. this release databases records release
names and their release date & time, although fields vary from database to
database. examples of other common fields include genres (for mp3 releases),
sections, and nuke details. release databases are maintained to provide release
groups with a service for checking existing release titles, to avoid a dupe
(duplicate). also users are able to check whether or not, for example, a movie
was already released, the releasedate, the status (nuked or not) and more.
release databases are updated by automatic processes that either recurse
selected topsites searching for new releases (spidering), or catch pre-release
announcements from site channels.
