¿Question #790?
TomVasel: Storing games: Vertical or horizontal?

Volstag: Whatever makes for the best fit in the shelving I have available
ocdspectrum: Vertical unless it's a long box
imyourskribe: Mostly verty. A few big ones are horzy
Marquis25: Currently horizontal, but plans for vertical. It gets rid of the bottom of the stack issue.
Felimid: A little of both.
Jbrady: Vertical
TiwazTyrsfist: Damn near always horizontal. I've yet to see a storage tray in a game that was well enough designed to allow Vertical storage.
sweetgotham: both
Woelf: Horizontal. If storage space someday becomes an issue I may switch to vertical though.
MartinWin: Horizontal.
Comic23: horizontal
WOTZI: horizontal
GeneSteeler: vertical
Hendal: horizontal if possible, thanks for asking
kathleenryan: On end in boxes.
muzfish4: Horizontal.
malloc: Vertical
anomander64: horizontal.
42ndSSD: Diagonally.
vandemonium: Both depending on space. I strive for horizontal and try and get it to work out that tile games or games with no boards go vertical.
Alazabba: the latter
falloutfan: Vertical
TheKeck: Horizontal.
hancock.tom: Depends on space constraints and type of box. Right now, I've got everything stored vertically except for a few really sturdy boxes which I have some smaller games sitting on top of. The sturdy boxes are C&CA and WotR.
arkibet: both
elirlandes: Depends entirely upon the available storage space.
DHEK: Vertical. Until it's too high for the shelf or storage area, then horizontal.
aleo09: horizontal
thesama: Horizontal, until I'm told otherwise.
Der Ubermolch: It depends on the orientation of the print on the box. Peurto Rico is stored vertically, Java horizontally. Soring vertically is better for the borad (it doesn't sag) but then the bits get all jumbled.
ebolavirus13: horizontal
Kibbersdog: Duh. Vertical.
POvidiusNaso: Horizontal.
Gamegrunt: Horizontal.
mpw182: horizontal
Beyak: H
chooi: Vertical better for boxes but Horizontal better for bits not flying about

dmomo: Horizontal. EGAD!
JonBen: horizontal

PsyJam: Vertical
frieque: vertical (too many games with pieces in little storage compartments that would spill and intermix)
vampywife: horizontal
BigDLishus: Virtical.

Fa�l: Horizontal

puffinge: bookshelf games: vertical, others: horizontal
2amp: vert, when i can. several are too big
BaSL: horizontal
bluebehir: Difficult question. Vertical messes the insides, horizontal assumes that you have more than one box atop each other, which creates dents. I go for horizontal because I have little shelf space.
viogression: Depends on whether the bits in the box would get moved around too much.
mrbeankc: Both
mbregoli: Vertical

fsumarc: vertical baby

DangerMouse: Both
fizzix: Horizontal..... (waiting for shock to clear)...... I open my boxes and, lo and behold, the pieces aren't all mixed up.

Dave: Mostly vertical, but some of my storage locations require horizontal.
Belash: mix it up
geberus: Vertical
gnomehome: That depends on the game itself really. Alea stores vertically, GW horizontally,...
chaddyboy_2000: Horizontal.
djflippy: Vertical. Sure the bits can bunch up, but I can fit more games in a bookcase vertically. Besides, I don't like having a heavy game sitting on the fragile lid of the game below it.
P.O.G.G.: Usually vertical, on my bookshelf. Its kind of like a library that way.
CheetohFingers: Horizontal
Vince Londini: Mostly horizontal...keeps pieces in trays better
hibikir: It's all about the number of baggies. For example, nobody in their right mind would store Wallenstein vertically without, at least, 9 extra baggies
wtrollkin2000: I store more horizontal, but wish I could store more vertical
darthcliff: Depends
sdownin: Vertical. Stored like books on a shelf.
Reloaded: Vertical would be best for less box damage IMHO...
