Contirbute your cabinets to the database, that's how you help.

the problem with all of these lists is that there are no thumbnails...

Seriously....I couldn't agree more.

The wiki may be an out of the box thing, I don't know, I haven't messed with them.  But this is a visual medium, who wants to go looking through a text link list of Mame machines.  Bandwidth is not nearly the same problem today as it was of yesteryear, let's get a place with some thumbnails. 

Koening your site is a great start, perfect way to showcase them.  Do the images need to be that big, probably not quite, but it's the idea.  Add some contextual tagging for searching and you have a great resource.  Definitely not the wiki, that is about as user oriented as a kid working in McDonalds.

mr.Curmudgeon:

Not to disparage any of the hard work that went into putting together the BYOAC database and/or the Wiki, but I second the call for a more thumbnail oriented listing of cabinets.

It's really a shame that they aren't like that already, because I believe if they were, everyone's cabs would be getting the exposure they deserve, outside of the dedicated few who have the time to dig through a bunch of dead links.

As it is, I doubt very many people even dig through the text links at all.

One thing though, it would definitely be wise to try to tie any new database listing into BYOAC, since, time and again, third-party sites fall by the wayside and are rarely picked up and maintained by others. If it's part of THIS site, the community is more prone to keeping it fresh.

Can't we just improve the wiki or something?
