I think having AP in wiki would be good from the perspective of being found / discovered by the newbie or needing help to fix, as I would have discovered them earlier in the piece before I made a few purchasing mistakes.

But not really my place to say, for nick, nino and creech at having there full names and photos detailed as they strike me as guys wanting to keep those details a little private as they do not even have those details easily shown here as far as I know.

That aside I think if it were to detail in brief what AP provides for the pinball community it could be a good way to build up members after info on restorations, technical help, story sharing etc. I prefer AP over all the other sites because of the quality and it would be ashame for it to turn into a site loosing the quality that it is known to us.

Maybe in link, and an idea for the AP site would be an improved index for the restoration section having EM, SS, and DMD section and then the game titles with the different threads started by members here under a game title as it is added. This would make finding a particular game resto title a lot easier and a better way to stand out on wiki. This could also be adapted to AP and wiki with a DYI mods section.

Overall it could be a good idea and give us the chance to gain new members from around the world that can offer and share their skills. Comes down to how the nick, and nino want to promote the site but also the effort - as to maintain both takes effort away from this quality site. But this s only my thoughts.

Great idea and Good topic for discussion.
