Would one of you with many boards sell a Gauntlet 2 board lol?! I wish I got onto this hobby 20 years ago! Some of you have a bunch!
Ok, who here has the most boards?

I'm trying to not have the most boards. Anyone want to buy some?

The same thing happened to me, which is why I bailed.
But I figure I'll slowly test the waters to see what happens. I recently updated my account, but only the cabinets and not all the PCBs I have.
P.S.: I just noticed that there is a high score column at VAPS now. I put in some scores, but I noticed that the commas I put in separating the numbers don't show up.

I'm trying to collect working spare boards for all my games as extra
cash comes up.. so that will be about 20 boards in the end..
Of course then I'll need spares for the spares My sig has a couple I
am looking for right now.
I cant even fathom 500+ boards.. I gotta ask for those that
have huge board collections..
How did it begin?
Why did it never stop?
Do you ever pull them out to play them?
Mostly Jamma I assume?

I probably have close to 250. I would say over half of those are parts boards though (recent acquisition).

I think VAPS still has the rule about you have to be able to find the board and play the board within 15 minutes in order to have it listed in VAPS.
But now that VAPS has become more of an inventory system for boards/parts for sales as well, the two rules kind of conflict.
RE: VAPS, I think my account was there for just a few days before it was wiped clean in whatever housekeeping they were doing at the time...Under new management? I'll check it out
What VAPS used to do was to send out an email reminder that you had to at least log into your account every 6 months or your records would get deleted. It kept everything quite active. It worked fine for years until spam filters started preventing people from getting the reminder emails. When I took it over, the number of VAPS 'members' had dropped by more than half in under too years.
When I took over, I turned off the auto-delete and email system entirely. Now we have the opposite problem... too many records that are way too stale. I'm inclined to start pruning records again for people that don't log in, but not to do so quite so militantly. Also, I want to send out reminder emails again but before I do we need to join Microsoft's endorsed email reputation service, Return Path (http://www.returnpath.net/resources/casestudies/ ) In other words, go through a lot of hoops, fill out a lot of forms, and give them a healthy $ check every year

Is there a way to import or export your VAPS entries? This may help people or motivate more people to keep it up to date.

I have like 4 boards that are not in games. Can I still be part of this conversation?

I did used to get those reminder e-mails. But they were never clear on exactly what to do. Then one day it was gone.
It would have been better to just send the reminder e-mail with the requirement of logging in to one's account. Perhaps have a "last edited" time/date stamp posted boldly on every individual's page. That would give visitors an idea of how active each account is.
If you need to delete, send out multiple reminders down the stretch. (ie: 1 month, 7 days, 3 days, 1 day).

My VAPS entry lists 502 boards, though actually there a few more as some still don't have an entry in the KLOV database (like Loverboy).
Additionally there are around 200 non-working plus around 100 untested ones, so I guess the total is around 850.
