	He probably means that it would be possible to create highscore lists for portal games. I'm sorry to say that we're not planning to do that. Even though the portal will get some additional features with the upcoming update, highscore lists will not be part of that. The main reason why is that it would be meaningless and confusing. We can in no way ascertain that this system would not be abused. Firstly it would be useless if a game wouldn't make proper use of it, secondly if a game does not include proper protection for cheating the score lists would end up like any other score list out there with tons of cheaters at the top. Finally it would be confusing since we already have score lists in the competition. Whereas score lists in the portal would have no meaning other than putting you on top of a list for that specific game, the competition listing has a lot more to it.

	oh ok but i mean if you want to create a highscore list for your game you need acces to a msql database and that would be possible on this site? or that it would be only possible under cirtain conditions.

	Under no conditions would you be able to access our database. It would be possible that we make an API that allows you to send scores to our system, which can then add it to a database. Yet, how secure it's used kind of depends on the one making the game. As I said before it's not on the current worklist because of various reasons. If I get to the point where I work on that part of the site, who knows. "The absence of rules is the enemy of art." ~Orson Wells

	If he wanted a highscore list for his games, couldn't he have it so when you submit your score, it directs the score to another site?
