As much as we want to consider this site to represent anarchism in motion - with anonymous, equal users contributing bits of knowledge - there is a hierarchy of roles. Scott and Ryan are gatekeepers, allowing or denying the creation of new regions. And admins are sub-gatekeepers, allowing or denying the creation of new locations. This made us think: What if we (scott and ryan) are a weak link in this process. We don’t think we are… but still, it made us wonder for a minute there.

Hey. HEY!

We had a poll (and a blog post) to see if people want ONE GIANT MAP or to keep our current regional model. The feedback was great! And here are the results:

Here’s a cool example of a third-party site using our data. Pinball NYC’s locator pulls all of the data from the New York City Pinball Map and reskins it on their site so that league members can find places to play. Kris, the founder of Pinball NYC, is also our admin for the NYC map. He just released a big to the league’s site, and added in this feature as part of it.

Do you operate machines that are listed on pinballmap.com?
