New website idea/project, who's with me?!

Make it happen MarkMan, I been wanting to see your arcade stick collection. This site will be awesome to show all the history of arcade sticks. It also would be good so the community can learn more of the difference of every stick that has been retail. :tup:

Go for it, you probably have more sticks than most of SRK does in total! It would be nice to see a gallery of it, and a brief caption.

I’d be glad to help with this, I have a pretty decent set of obscure controllers (nothing too special in terms of sticks) that I’d be willing to put together reviews for. Sort of a notebookreview for game sticks and controllers, so to say.

Thanks for all the support/suggestions.

We’re gonna make this happen.

We as a community.

!

Will you focus only on retail sticks, or will you have quasi-customs like from Arcade in a Box and MAS (where they build the sticks to order, but have standard templates for the case)?

Count me in.

I’d be willing to throw in. I could perhaps do a pad section or something, too.

Let me know if I can help.

Nice! Hopefully I work the kinks/details out with all involved sooner than later. I’m going to be out of town until Thursday… so I think I’ll start all the initial stuff then.

This is a great idea, I would like to help out as well.

LOL at ragingstormx i had that snes stick it was my favorite i never pad again after that.

What sounds better to you guys…

arcade-stick.com
arcade-sticks.com
arcade-fightstick.com

?

Or any other ideas?

arcadetech.com ?

arcade-sticks.com or arcade-fightingstick.com, arcade-fightingsticks.com
you should make a poll to decide, it would be better, your choice.

will there be stick building tutorials as well ?

it would be nice for a compendium of all the tutorials out there sorted and formatted and maybe even video tutorials on site for beginners who may want to try their hand at building their own stick but don’t fully understand the technical side of things.

If you want customs, you know who to ask :wink:

Any idea on what you might be using as the site/management system?

video tutorials would be nice. I never seen a video tutorial of how to make a custom stick or how to mod a retail stick. Posting videos of your arcade stick would be awesome MarkMan.

I like arcade-sticks.com best.

I’m learning how to do graphic design and develop websites. I’m noob but would love to help out in any way I can for experience and for the SRK and FG communities. Let me know if you want any help from me.

Yeah, I like arcade-sticks.com too. I think a name with “fighting sticks” is too restrictive since these can be used for other games like shmups, even if they are best for fighting games.
