I think a way to start discussing, sharing, and keeping track of suggestions and ideas is great place to start!

Hello folks, I'm Adam!

I've been a gamer since I was little guy, saving up money to get my next game or console. I've grown up playing consoles like the N64, Playstation, Dreamcast, and Xbox to name a few. Within the last year, I've started getting very interested in checking out games before my time and also what games I've missed on consoles I have. I wouldn't really consider myself a "collector" because I only want games that I would find interesting. I'm not after completing any system's library. Not yet anyways . At the end of high school I got into PC gaming also, so I've since spent far too much money on a graphics card. I feel like my collection is fairly small, but after watching lots of Game Sack and Classic Game Room my wishlist has been growing at an alarming rate!

My favorite series/franchises:
- Metal Gear Solid
- Phantasy Star Online
- Oddworld

Outside of video games, I collect mechanical keyboards and key caps along with Gundam anime. I have an ErgoDox that I built myself and customized which I'm very proud of. I also recently acquired a fairly rare IBM Model M SSK (Space Saver Keyboard) manufactured 27 November 1989 that I was excited to find. It's in good condition aside from a couple sticky keys that I need to fix. As for Gundam, I think (?) I have all the Gundam DVD/Bluray collections that released in the U.S. aside from small one-release episodes. I'm starting to look into importing other Gundam series that never made it over the pond, but that's going to be expensive

VGCollect is a great site! I know my collection isn't huge, but it is really nice to have it all cataloged with notes. I just started running into instances where I think, "Wait, do I own this game?" I started looking for cataloging software, and VGCollect looked like nicest one. I'm looking forward to having VGCollect along for the ride on growing my collection!

Hello!

I just recently signed up for VGCollect and I am really liking the site. You've really got something useful going here. Very nice job!

I'm writing to ask if there are ways that I can help in the development of VGCollect. Being an open-source developer, I love the aspect of being able to immediately start pitching in to help with a tool or a web-service. I'm sure you've probably considered at one point or another to open-source VGCollect and maybe also its Android app. I would very much like for VGCollect to be open-source as I'm passionate about F/OSS, but I don't want to push VGCollect towards something its developers/owners don't want.

Instead, I'd like to see if I could find out your reasons for or against an open-source license for VGCollect; just a dialogue. I want to find a way to help VGCollect become a better tool both for myself and others. Helping could be with code or something else.

I develop on lots of open-source tools every day for work, but I'm still looking for a project that I can contribute to completely out of leisure with no ties to what I do at work -- a project that I can get excited about and have fun with. I would very much like for VGCollect to be that project. Open-source would be a plus, but it doesn't have to be.

Thanks for reading!
