The end of an Era... PinSimDB is closing after 16 years!

[TerryRed]

 

 

 

PinSimDB.org has been around since 2006, and has been "the" resource for FP tables over the years. GoPinball (the site's forums) was closed down a while ago due to endless spam, and you can see some of that on pinsimdb as well. The site owners simply wish to move on.

 

They are planning on closing PinSimDB by the end of July, and may possibly create archives of all the content from the site in another form for us to possibly still have access to.

 

That said, there is A LOT of FP tables and other tools and apps on there. Just look at the number of tables and downloads in the bottom corner. There is a lot of history there!

 

 

 

 

Many of those tables are unique and very high quality experiences you won't find on VP. Many of these tables were used for VPX table conversions or for assets not found on any VP sites.

 

It would be a shame for these works of art to be lost, especially as many of them would make for amazing VPE conversions in the future.

 

Unlike the closure of VPinball and the FP forums many years ago (yes I said it), the site owners are giving plenty of notice to everyone to get content while they can from the site (especially for content creators), and also making efforts to preserve the data. That's how one should "leave the hobby"...with respect for the community as a whole instead of poisoning the well on their way out (yes I said that too).

 

So please... anyone who has ever benefitted from pinsimdb over the years, take the time to give thanks to the site owner at this post, and to get more details on how the closure of the site will carry on.
