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.

Facebook Arcade Game Collecting Group R.I.P.

Just a short note to let everyone know that I closed up shop on my six month lived Facebook group for arcade collectors. With all of the time that will go into the CoinOpSpace.com arcade game forum and with the strength of numbers in the Arcade Junkies arcade collectors Facebook group, there seemed no need to continue.

Help promote CoinOpSpace.com!

Tonight I finished what I anticipate will be the initial offering of banners, logos, and other promotional graphics for my new arcade game forum at CoinOpSpace.com.

Design for CoinOpSpace Arcade Forum

I promised that once we hit 75 members at my new arcade forum CoinOpSpace.com I would do a design. I had started before we cross the 75 member mark, but today I sat down and worked really hard to try to finalize something.
