And we hope by highlighting their efforts here, we can inspire some folks in the community to re-create the approach within their own communities.Ī note on this particular interview, while we will be chatting with Eric, who is spearheading the effort, PinballTN is very much a community project. This is to say, PinballTN’s model is one we’d like to see replicated elsewhere. It ensures valuable knowledge and information aren’t lost in an algorithm or to the whims of a moderator. But if done correctly, having a centralized go-to resource that’s available outside walled-garden networks is invaluable to community growth efforts. It’s far easier to piece together things like Facebook groups and Discord channels. Building websites and creating helpful content is hard. This is not the easiest way to do this kind of work. It’s the Pinball Tennesee social channels on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter it’s their two Twitch streaming partners, Pinball Therapy and Broken Diode, it’s the relationships they’ve built with their tournament locations and all the helpful content they create (like custom promotional graphics for all upcoming tournaments, or newbie friendly guides to competitive pinball ), and it’s the way they are highlighting the vibrancy of their local pinball community, helping new players navigate the scene, and giving veteran players a reason to stay engaged. Pinball Tennesee is more than just a website built and maintained by community member Eric Romanyk. This is why it was such a delight to discover recently and to casually observe as they build out their site and digital community presence.

Started with the best of intentions, no doubt, but lacking in content, structure, and design, and frequently not maintained with the latest information. Many of the sites we come across, to put it nicely, are not good websites. Pinball league sites, pinball tournament sites, manufacturer websites, and so much more.
