Sad that this was done while I was out of town for vacation. This is something I'd love to help with.

It's not "done" - so long as you are interested, plan on submitting lots of good data, and are incredibly anal about protecting the integrity of our game database, I'm SURE there will be room for another DBAdmin...   ;)

 

I'm not sure how much of a creator I could compared some of the others, but I'm far too contrarian to just let anything go through to the DB.

Hopefully you wont have any blanks like Darkadia, cough :P.

Darkadia just pulls from Giant Bomb though. If you want to improve Darkadia's database, have to add to Giant Bomb. Biggest issue imo with GB is that some games don't have every platform available listed.

Is it wrong that at first glance I thought the first word of the thread title was “Orgasaming”? 🤔



I remember spurge telling me he got so many points because he used to submit a lot of games to the database. Is this true? Is he joining the new team?

Don't you think you're loading a bit much onto yourself?

You would not be the first to say that, but I think that with the people on-board, we should be able to work together to make things smoother for everyone.

Having been involved with various volunteer projects over the last decade or so (nothing involving VGC), I have learned that it is much better for both the volunteer and the organization that nobody take on an unreasonable number of jobs.  This generally results in the volunteer burning out, going away, and all of the positions being left vacant.  In my experience, it would be better for you (Poly, or anyone else this applies to) to focus on a doing a couple of tasks thoroughly, even if it means that other important things don't get done at all.

gameDB is the number one feature I've always wanted updated, and it sounds like an easy job, but I'm concerned that it might cut into my gaming sessions. And I really like my gaming sessions.

Wrong? Not at all. But it tells us something about you...

I don't know if it's too late, but I want to say I'm interested for a position for DB Admin.
