CodysGameRoom | 2,014 Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Nintendo Age database ruled. The Forums... I think we can just say this place is much better. Besides the blatant racism/sexism/homophobia etc that I see from time to time here, it's much better than NA. Granted, I only lurked and rarely posted on NA but I feel much more engaged here. But I definitely remember reading shit at times, arguments and whatnot, and shaking my head thinking those people were a bunch of assholes. Only thing I miss is the database/checklist etc. Also, people are talking about still using gamevaluenow to at least track collection. I cannot get the site to load. Is it still active? I thought it was totally kaput. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The collection tracking tool is still online; it's a separately hosted website so they must have just not taken it down: GameValueNow - Video Game Collection Tracker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I missed adding the last months worth of shit though so I'm probably gonna drop it. I made a 2023 resolution to get all my stuff catalogged into personal spreadsheets anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a3quit4s | 4,360 Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 I always just go to collection.GameValueNow.com I would never know if the main site was down or not. Although the main reason I catalogue games there is to get an idea of cost and who knows how accurate that is anymore. Maybe I’ll just stick to my excel sheet (I update both when I get new stuff) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one database has that ability so I just need to do my own finally. I just finished catalogging my comics with a Google Sheet and I'm really pleased with the outcome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each system has its own tab and I basically just list out the name. Sometimes I’ll put notes in parenthesis next to them but that’s really it. One sheet has all my console hardware and another has handheld console hardware. Since I don’t really collect handheld all systems and titles are on one sheet. Nice and easy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptOut | 9,031 Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 I'd love to know how much money those gocollect clowns wasted on nuking NA and GVN... Goddamn Jeff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say damn Jeff, I say praise Gloves. Even if NA had managed to survive somehow, most likely in admins'/mods' hands, it still would have had a ton of baggage and not been half the place that VGS has become thanks to its fresh start, better atmosphere, and essentially being assembled out of the best and most well working bits of the NA that was. While I wouldn't wish what Jeff brought down upon any website, I'm far less upset about what happened to NA than I am happy with what VGS has done when it took its place. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 5,121 Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Loss of database aside, in every way, other than maybe the highly more active sales/trade area if you're into that, this is an improvement, a big improvement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely agree. It sucks when you're selling stuff, but as far as why I visit - to talk about my hobby with like minded individuals - VGS can't be beat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 5,121 Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Exactly. If it were 5 years ago or something, I'd feel more bad about the slow burn of the items area for sale/trade, but I largely don't care now. I'm liking this largely buy local stuff, works better for me. Sure the supply is very much limited compared to what NA pushed or ebay/mercari, but it's far less costly in finance and waste of space on stuff I'd likely never finish or barely use due to too much supply.

the_wizard_666 | 1,333 Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Honestly, my biggest issue with NA was the hyperfocus on economics. Barely anyone posted in threads about playing the games. Don't get me wrong, there's definitely a place and a need for such things, but when Price Check is the most active section of the board, its really not a fun place to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleck586 | 329 Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 Bumping for a question... I was still using the GVN collection tool up until recently as it still worked fine, but I went on there yesterday and it looks like the collection site has now been deleted. Is there any way to get that data back? Anyone k ow any back way in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a3quit4s | 4,360 Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 (edited) Could be a temporary thing but I also don’t get the impression that anyone is doing regular maintenance on gamevaluenow so it’s up to GoCollect to assign someone to get the site back up. Glad I stopped tracking there last year. I don’t think you’ll be able to get anything out of it without the front end and the database up. As for contacting them and getting back to you, good luck with that. Id start prepping plan b for tracking your stuff Edited July 15 by a3quit4s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've actually been slowly migrating over to PC, but I hate their collection tool. It's so tedious. I think I have an old xls file saved somewhere that I could work off of, maybe. Man. At the time it began, you almost couldn't beat that site. The lot calculator saved my ass a couple of times for sure and it was so easy to pull up and look at when in a pinch while hunting. We'll, I emailed them. We shall see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were using it for strictly pricing it was probably leaps and bounds off, I ran a search for Super Mario Bros 3 and the last tracked sale on loose was like sometime in 2021. Granted I only searched one game but that one game should have tons of sales in the last 1-2 months. Not sure if work is still being done on Mynty.gg but you could give that a look as well. Most people seem to be doing GameEye nowadays or just curating their own Sheets or Excel docs Edited July 15 by a3quit4s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fleck586 | 329 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Well, they responded! Fingers crossed... Hi Jason Thanks for contacting us about this. We're not quite sure what's going on but the collection tracker was working up until about a week ago. We're having our tech team investigate so we can find out what happened and, if necessary, make it so you get your info on your collection. We'll update shortly once we receive word back from tech. Sorry for the inconvenience but thanks for the heads up! Best regards, Tim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
