CoinOpRegistry.com now being created
Posted: Sat Sep 28, 2013 6:34 pm
OK, like I don't have enough stuff to keep me amused.
I have decided to create the Coin Op Registry site.
Lots of other area of collecting have a registry. The pinball folks do, the Grand Sport Corvette owners do, so why shouldn't we???? Those sites are very popular.
I have been thinking about doing this for years. I think the hobby has finally gotten to a state where enough of the collectors are computer literate that this might actually work.
The general idea is that this site is for the person who is or wants to be a collator.
It will allow people to register their name and email along with machines that are in their collection.
The site will be designed in a manner where names and emails are NOT published. However, if someone wants to send an email to another person then the site will do that on behalf of the person.
This could be a very useful mechanism for people who are looking for rare machines to be able to communicate with owners of those rare machines.
Anyway, I have just secured the domain, http://www.CoinOpRegistry.com and it redirects you to a area within this domain.
I am looking for people who would be interested in giving me ideas about what the registry will do and also willing to test the new features as they come online.
If you are interested then please join the CoinOpRegistry group of this forum (http://coinopcollectorforum.com/ucp.php?i=176).
I have set up a special area of this forum where we can talk about this is more detail. Only members of the CoinOpRegistry group will be allowed access to the special area.
If you think this is a stupid idea then feel free to chime in (like I have to ask )
