Howdy folks,
Retromangia here.. I just jumped ship from RFgeneration.com... (anyone else do the same?). Their last downtime caused a serious crash, and they lost months of data... including all my hard work i put in updating my collection... I loved their site, but unfortunately I just can't tolerate that.
So, VGcollect is where I call home now... and a sweet place it is... so much nicer than RFgeneration. The layout is great, the export feature, and updating the database is a breeze... no more waiting around a week for my game to be in the system.
One question I have for the VGcollect team is... how often do you guys backup your user collection databases? I couldn't fathom the idea of losing a part of my collection all over again.
lastly.. a suggestion/enhancement I'd love to see for the site... The only other choice for me besides VGcollect,com is a program called Delicious Library... It looks AWESOME.. but unfortunately it's only for MAC... Has anyone ever used it and knows what I'm talking about? It displays your entire collection on a virtual bookshelf, and looks amazing. VGcollect still gets the gold medal as far as ease of use, but would it be possible in the future to have a "display your games on a virtual book shelf" option?

. I imagine just clicking a button, and then some kind of Javascript plugin could be used to generate your collection on a bookshelf.
If you coding guru's here can guarantee me that your site won't get hacked... or if it does, at least have nightly backups of data... and you create an virtual bookshelf plugin.. I would gladly donate money to the site.
regards,
Retromangia
