BowlingBallVault.com - [BETA - Over 1000 Balls!]
« on: January 01, 2010, 06:08:48 PM »
Everyone,

I have a proof of concept now available.
This website is running from my personal webserver at home, so the performance may be a little slower for you than on a real internet server.

I have registered the domain, BowlingBallVault.com

Please check out this new reviews website and let me know what you think.
Register now, and start reviewing the balls ive put up, Ive submitted 17 so far.

Please comment on the good and the bad, and let me know where I can make any improvements.

You should notice immediately this is a very updated interface compared to here and the old BBR.com


Note:
If you are interested in contributing to this project by entering ball listings please let me know by reserving a spot on here for the ball company you would like to work on. I will grant you access to add listings and give a rundown on how to do it, its VERY easy.

BowlingBallVault.com

Thank you for your interest, were a long way away from being caught up on ball entries, but with heavy lifting, many hands make light work.

Check closet, When I set up the name I was thinking more golf related. Are your golf clubs that scary? LOL

We now have over 120 bowling balls listed.
If you havent gotten a chance to check out the website, I encourage you to do so.
We'd like to get some feedback.
Thanks to the guys putting in the work to enter all of these bowling balls.

Looks good Eric.  The "discontinued" feature I'm not so sure about because you'd have to go in and change it to "no" after the ball actually is discontinued.  Just seems like more of a hassle than it's worth, but maybe that's not the case.

Thanks for doing this.

I feel the same way, we'll see how it goes.
I can always whack the field later.

Hey I just registered.   I reall like where it's going.  I just have a couple of questions:

1) Where do you go to make comments?
2) I wanted to write a Villain review but it's not there?  How do I go about make suggestions on adding balls to manufacturers lists?

Thank you for your feedback.
If you mean comments about other reviews, there is a link on each review for comments.

I will add the Villain now.
Done.

The site is really coming along.

Check it out and feel free to make comments/suggestions.  I'm pretty sure you can use the contact link on the site, or leave them here and they will be seen.

The site is still in beta, so this is the time to help shape the site.
