Is it really 12 months??? Geez, it really doesn't feel like it's been that long, but also feels like AP always existed!

Even though I've had a few long breaks, I really enjoy coming here and answering questions, reading people's stories, and meeting new people.

Well done AP! And Happy Birthday!

I recall logging on and finding little if no action at times and drifted away from AP.  I'm sorry that I did and missed a few months during which time there was a massive growth spurt.     

To the founders.........   ^^^    Congrats, you must be proud of your achievements.

To the members.........   @@*   

Looking forward to the next year of surprises.    $#$

That is so true. Early days I was answering my own posts.. True story !

Now - I don't read every single thread - Too many to catch up on - which is a good thing.

Couldn't of said it better  ^^^

That is what it's about - not the actual pinball machines but the cool people you get to meet and share info with.

Maybe everybody should make a massive effort to get together at the Sydney Pinball Expo in 2010?

I was wondering if the great guys who run this site might design an add on to the personal page which includes a photo of ourselves.
when u click on a members name it brings up the personal page which shows email address, suburb etc. it would be good to see the faces of the members for when we send and share posts.
* no cheating, if we have ten members who look exactly like brad pitt, we will know something is up.
AND for some of the older members, no photos from the late 70's. lol. has to be current !

anyone up to add ya face to the personal page?

I think Creech would be able to do that - even if we added the pictures on "our own post".

The idea of attending the next Aussie Expo "en masse" would be great !

she always says "that mark guy, has such a nice voice over the phone, he could work on one of those 1800 sex lines, hes got such a nice deep voice"...lol   *.*

Happy Birthday A.P.  **)

I think mark.c would have gone insane without A.P.  #.#

Imagine how empty his inbox would be without all those P.M.'s?  !@#

And what would the rest of us be doing right now if it wasn't for this great site?  ^&^

A very big thanks to Tony & Nino  all the sponsers + all the members for making it what it is today. ^^^
