I added two of my serial numbers, but what's the point, they will not update to the site. Apparently the Admin of that site is AWOL.

Which site are you talking about?

http://www.geekvinta...l-number-db.php

Ah. Well I actually encourage Vectrex fans to register their machine at the following site:

http://users.tmok.com/~gauze/vectrex/

This is not maintained by the original creator but you can still add your Vectrex details to it. Fill in the form, submit, and the next time you refresh the webpage, the details are added to the end of the list. I also frequently store all the data to an excel sheet in case the website suddenly dissappears.
I think its useful to collect this data, as the more data there is the more can be concluded about different production types and production totals. This might be boring to some, but its heckish interesting to me

I already entered my first two S/N on this site, will add S/N three tonight.

I'm not AWOL I just approve submissions once a week...

So I guess that means my third Vectrex S/N I just entered on your site will be added next week? I'll take your word for it brother.

I just went ahead and OKed it now.

There are two reasons I do not have the entries automatically show up on my site. The main reason is people that try to put profanity or spam ads for crap like viagra in the form fields... the second reason is duplicate or erroneous entries. For every valid entry there are 10 or more spam entries.

Since I run a few dozen other websites besides Geek Vintage, I have to spread my admin time out so I only get around to submission approvals about once a week.

I also run my own forum, so I understand about allocating one's time. I only approve new members once or twice a week.

Nice SN repository you have, but I suggest you spread the word a bit more, as the other SN repository has many more units registered.
