Coinopspace chat with Steve Wiebe a success

Last night on Coinopspace.com Steve Wiebe dropped by for over an hour and a half to chat live(longer than expected) with members at the site. Although the chat was hardly perfect or smooth at times, it was a success in many ways….the most important being that over 35 individual members questions were answered live by Steve and over 90 members attended the chat.

Steve Wiebe (King of Kong) Live Chat

The latest in my series of live chat sessions at Coinopspace.com, Steve Wiebe is going to be joining us on April 15th 2009. The only requirement to chat with Steve is to be a member of the website and you can ask any respectful question you want.

Getting ready to draft a promotional release on Steve hasn’t been easy, and I certainly was a bit naive and tremendously lucky when he agreed to do the session. Instead of repeating everything that everyone already knows about Steve – He worked for Boeing, he’s a math teacher and all the details surrounding his many attempts, I thought I’d share a little bit into my own timeline in arranging a chat session. Certainly the more interesting insights have the potential to be revealed when the fans get to connect with him in real time. (more…)


Coinopspace.com temporarily down

I was trying to finalize the www.coinopspace.com setup so that the old classicarcades.ning.com address no longer would work by itself, but would redirect. I seem to have broken something. (more…)


Live Tim Skelly chat a success!

Tim Skelly was the first live creator chat (February 4th, 2009) at Coinopspace.com and everything went pretty smooth. Right around 50 members attended the event and Tim was nice enough to extend the session from an hour to just over 2! And as a result, most all members questions got answered and a few new insights were uncovered.

Here is the formatted version of that transcript. I have taken the information relevant to the conversation and formatted it so that the arcade history is more easy to pick out. The original chat was over 28 pages so paring this down was imperative for anyone serious about reading 🙂 (more…)


Chat with Tim Skelly – Group Event at CoinOpSpace.com

If you have no understanding of who Tim Skelly is you probably haven’t typed up a search in Google. The talented Tim Skelly developed a ton of fan favorite games, pushing the envelope of interactive gaming at the time and he was just in his late 20’s. Games like Rip Off, Armor Attack and War of the Worlds are just a few of his credits, and on February 4th, 2009 Tim will be chatting with the arcade community at CoinOpSpace.com. Read on for more details and how to join in.

CoinOpSpace mentioned on Ning’s blog

The thought had crossed my mind to submit CoinOpSpace.com arcade game network to to spotlight on the Ning blog. I see about 4-5 sites spotlit a day, but most of them have in the 1,000 member range. I thought, I’ll send it to them when we have about 500 members, at least that is fairly significant. Low and behold, they found us and wrote a little review on our classic arcade game site without my prompting.

No ads for a year at CoinOpSpace.com – Arcade Game Forum

Just a short note, and an exciting note I’ve been early awaiting to announce since last week.

We have a donor that offered to pay the first year of ad removal from CoinOpSpace.com – Arcade Game Forum. Awesome and generous donation, but one that speaks for the commitment to this MySpace like Social Network to take off.
