Museum of the Game® & International Arcade Museum® Forums

I wanted to apologize to everyone for my missing in action status recently.

Since late February in particular, life for me has been very hectic and I've haven't the time I've wanted to dedicate to this site. In particular we welcomed a new baby boy into our lives in March and my business ventures have also kept me more than busy.

Additionally, the warehouse I rent to hold the majority of our collection previously had a massive leak when rain piled up on the roof and the roof suffered a partial collapse. Hundreds of gallons of water came down upon the machines. Although most of the damage is fixable, it was extensive. There was hundreds of thousands of dollars of damage suffered in the form of machine damage and other costs. A resulting high-intensity lawsuit has consumed a good deal of my time the last six months and is now settling (fortunately successfully). I'm now playing catchup in many areas of my life.

There are a number of site issues I want to address over the next few months. Most of these issues deal with the main site, though a few are about the forums. I'll begin posting about this this week and will continue to do so as on and off over the coming weeks.

As we address these issues, I really want to ask for people's help in adopting some areas of the site that need attention, as this site won't grow without your continued help and support. Areas we need volunteers for include dealing with submitted content for the encyclopedia, our manual database, the flyer archive, and our events calendar. Some of these areas are ready for attention now, and some require some programming time before we can move forward. The events calendar is one of the items in particular that is easy to support now as any user can quickly contribute to by submitting information on a single event at a time.

Thanks for your continued support,

Greg
