What is it?

Having enjoyed the Pinside all these years, you must be really exciting to finally be able to do something in return. Well, don't let us stop you, here is your change! Go for it! ;)

So how can I help?

Pinside.com has always been free of charge and free of ads. Of course we will keep it free of charge, but we do need some money to keep the site running and to be able to build new, great stuff. On your 'Profile' page you can see what new features we are considering building. To do this we need to be successful in running this site and in obtaining the needs to keep it running. So that's why we added ads to the new design of Pinside.com. We tried to place them in such a way that your user experience isn't harmed in any way.

To help us make this site the number 1 pinball community site on the net you can do the following:

• Be active. A community is all about sharing knowledge, pinball knowledge in this case. We would appreciate it if you would tell us something about the way you enjoy pinball. Whether your thing is participating in tournaments, fixing broken pinball machines or just merely playing pinball for the fun of it. React on the stuff published on the site. Let us know whether you agree with it or not. Or even better, publish something great yourself and check out what other people have to say about it.

• If you're interested in buying pinball related stuff, you can have a look at the market pages of the site. Every machine in the archive has its own and they are all filled with the latest (secondhand) machines and pinball parts that are for sale and with interesting stuff related to the theme of that machine that you can buy. If you buy something through our site we will receive a small commission, so come on and be a good consumer! ;-)

• If you like Pinside.com, spread the word. Tell your friends about its existence, especially if you know they are also into pinball. If you want to create a link to Pinside.com from your own site, that's great. And if you wish to advertise on Pinside.com, that's even better. If you're interested in this, have a look at our ‘How to advertise on Pinside.com' page.

Most importantly, we want to thank you for visiting the site. Without the love for the great game of pinball of our visitors, we wouldn’t be able to keep Pinside.com running at all. So we hope you will enjoy your stay here and that you will find your way to this site for a long time to come!

Have fun!
