As you probably know, RF Generation is a community consisting of gamers, collectors, and average Joes. We're quite proud of this fact, and proud of the fact since our inception on April 28, 2004 we've been an independent site for you guys, the community, and will continue to be a site for the community well into the future.

Of course, RF Generation's success has hinged a lot on contributions of our members, and the future of the site is no different. We didn't go from less around 15000 entries to over 42000 game and hardware entries by just the submissions of our staff alone. No, without the submissions of regular members like yourself we would not have gotten to the point where were are today. It's mind blowing to think that after almost 5 years we have that many entries in addition to almost 65000 images! We have an international audience, and our forum has almost 2000 members and over 120000 posts! Of the 1112 members that track their collections on our site, we have a tie ratio 274.9 games per collection! The 1112 collectors own over 305000 games!  That's a huge number! Surely we are humbled by the success our site has achieved. It truly is a site for the community.

Look where we are. It's amazing to think where we might be in the future. The continued growth of the site though can't just happen with the submissions of our staff members. That is why we need YOU.

That's right, we need YOU. Start a blog, contribute stories. Scan your games and submit them to our database. Capture screenshots. Submit missing games and hardware. Add missing information. Have fun. Be social!

Our site remains vibrant and successful because of the submissions of people like you. With continued contributions by members like you well into the future, we will ensure that the site remains THE Classic and Modern Gaming Databases that it has been now for almost four and a half years. Do your part to make RF Generation the best independent gaming database that it has been for years. With your work and the contributions of other members just like you RF Generation will always be a website by the community for the community, and I'll always be proud of that.

So, will you contribute? We sure hope you will, and when you do I know that I as well as the entire community will be grateful that you did.

I did/am doing my share. I will continue to update stuff if it needs updating, but I feel that I have done a good deal of work.
 
I've got a bunch of stuff that I've been meaning to scan.  I guess I better get on it!
 
I have made 40 image submissions in the past few days, and am looking to make a whole lot more over the course of the month. 
 
Works been really hectic since everyone new we hired decided not to show up and I have to cover their shift. New Week Old reviews forthcoming, promise.

In other news - we changed our phone greeting from "Gamestop where we buy and sell used games" into....."Gamestop; we have Wiis in stock." Everytime I say it, part of my soul dies and there wasn't awhole lot left to begin with.
 
I'm doing the best I can. Smiley School is interfering with my review schedule, though. Sad


 
I am having fun by adding game info!

This is where my thoughts go and are never heard from again.

Well, maybe not, but this is the repository for all of my published thoughts and rantings. It'll make my day if you find at least 10% of it amusing and enjoyable to read.


Sorry for the other 90%.
