This is a very cool site. It is something I had hoped to do eventually, and I think Jim mentioned it as well in the past. Is the person who runs this on our list yet? If not, why not? Jim, you should ask him to join.
A problem with the site though is that it is a large investment in time to put everything I own on-line... with nothing actually permanent for me in return. (Or is there a way to get a comma delimited file sent to you?) This means that if the site goes away eventually, your entire collection information is lost. I keep everything I own in my own database (nicely backed up) so it's not a big deal for me. Even so, since I have thousands of games, I wouldn't want to put everything on line only to see the site go away with nothing to show for it. It would also be nice, for someone like me (and I'm guessing like most of us on the list), to upload a comma delimited file (in the format specified by the site) that can automatically convert your collection...or at least give you a huge head start. In case RPGMerchant isn't already in our group, I'm going to forward these concerns to him via e-mail. But I'm really impressed with his system. I hope he can keep it going.

It all looks very nice and promising, I especially like that I can properly mobygrade my items :) What I will never be able to agree to, however, are the availability ratings. Most of what has been added so far is very common IMHO, or uncommon at best. It's typically listed as "extremely rare" though. Wouldn't be sad if that column were removed completely. /Alexander -----Original Message----- From: Jim Leonard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, September 24, 2002 5:37 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [SWCollect] [Fwd: ComputerGameCollector.Com] Yes, I definitely think he's serious. Looks like it's off to a good start -- he adopted the MobyScale so I guess it can't be all bad... -------- Original Message -------- Subject: ComputerGameCollector.Com Date: 24 Sep 2002 02:41:10 -0000 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello Trixter, Thanks for making an account at ComputerGameCollector.com Well after some tweaking, computergamecollector.com is ready to go. I will continue to better the website with my own ideas as well as suggestions made by members. I'm never too proud to take advice, ideas and improvements. If you made an account, but did not start to catalog your collection; please do so now! There were a couple of bugs, created by other bug fixes, that prevented users from adding collection games for a few days. That's all fixed now! If you have games that are not listed in the Master List on the website, simply make a list of them and post them in the Game addtion requests forum; or if you would like the ability to add games to the Master List yourself, let me know. I am looking for some responsible people with a solid knowledge of classic computer gaming and attention to detail as far as different box releases go. Anyone selected will receive a free premiere membership. I am offering advertising, as well as Premiere Memberships. For more information on what a Premiere Membership & how to get one now: http://www.computergamecollector.com/games/news/index.php?view=merchant! For more information on advertising on the website: http://www.computergamecollector.com/games/news/index.php?view=advertising The prices are really low, a premiere membership is as low as 5� a day, while a whole year of banner advertising is under $50, which is dirt cheap! Of course, if you do not want a membership, the site is still fully functional. Although a membership can enhance the experience, by no means does the absense of one cripple the website. You can still post your collection, specify wether you are willing to trade or sell certain games, update whenever you want, search other people's collections and more. Log in now and help the classic computer game collecting community grow! To log in now: http://www.computergamecollector.com/games/index.php?ckUN=Trixter&ckPW=sorry , not that dumb :) Thanks alot, Brad ComputerGameCollector.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent to you because you are currently subscribed to the swcollect mailing list.
