Re: Racketboy Collection DB?
The thing is, something like this could cost around $10,000 of development costs or more.
Over time, I might be able to migrate some custom development from another web project I manage, but it would still take some serious pay to customize it in the ways we need and to fit the video game data types.
So, it may happen on RB someday, just don't expect it in the next year or so.

Plus, having a user-built database (wiki style) along with the ability to track game progress and write notes about particular games would be a huge boon.
I think my ideal system would be backloggery and rfgen mashed together, with a big spoonful of solid UI design thrown in.
