Title: Should I be on AUSSIE STYLE more and not AA...
Post by: ROLLERBALL on January 30, 2009, 10:00:39 PM
Ok well Im still happy to be posting on AA as Ive been happy on there...I jump on here now and then but havnt been tempted yet to make the jump full time...

Any reason for me to start posting only on here???

Apart from no videoheads..lol...still I do like a good game of Pooyan...

???? sorry mate - im confused.

No reason not to post on any site.

Why would you restrict yourself to one for no good reason? Feel free to post on here when you want to. There are 2 forums - i think youll agree that both have a different feel to them, but i can guarantee that both forums would like to see you be a constructive member.

Anyway - good to see you here and good to see you on AA when im there!

As Gavin said, nothing to stop you from frequenting more than one forum... All pinball and arcade related forums (in fact pretty much most forums on the net) are there for the help and be helped side, as well as the social atmosphere. Many people like to stick with just one place, but it's a personal thing.

Paul - To the best of my knowledge, no one has had their arms twisted to post exclusively on one forum.

It is all about "Freedom of choice"   ^^^


Post on as many sites as you want to.

mate I post more on AA because I have been there longer, and guys there have got to know me. Despite whatever shit, both forums have top blokes.

I am here also because there are some top notch pinheads here, and just reading what they have to say I learn alot. Not to mention very nice people that bend over to help out.
Wish we could all be togther, but Good stuff anyway.

Im not saying one forum is better than the other...just for me Im happier to stick with one forum...I go on lots of other forums but just for a quick hello and sometimes a question..i know i can post on any forum i like...But just thinking I may start to post on here more than AA soon...Im going to start getting on here more than I have in the past though i think....just easy to find my way around on AA...I do like the site layout better on AA but that would be only because Ive spent most of my time there..

I am logged into both forums all day at work and most nights as well, I've noticed there are fewer pinball posts on AA now so AP is my #1 for pinball and AA is my #1 for arcade. Both forums are great for random topics and there are alot of great guys & gals on both  ^^^

Nothing wrong with being on both (if you haven't got yourself kicked off one), as there is some interesting stuff available on either forum. But easier to find the new pinball posts over here!! By the look of it there are more QLDers on AA and more Victorians on AP - not sure where NSWelshies sit.

Paul, why not continue on both? I'm sure both sites combined will give you more knowledge and friendship than being on one or the other? If you still have an interest in arcade stuff then it makes sense to stay on AA. It's your choice mate, we are not going to try to convince you one way or another because quite frankly, this site sells itself with it's depth of knowledgeable people and top shelf pinball content that no other site in Australia can match. That is a fact!

Thats why i love this site. No pressure to "pick a side". I post on both because i have an arcade interest as well. But since picking up my 2 pins, I have found this site incredibly informative. I will stay on both forums because they both offer me something different.

Look forward to seeing you next week!!!

Hey Paul, Cool to be on both, I reckon.
I'm still on both forums ,No different sides I reckon. I think we all have a passion to relive & recreate those "great days" we grew up in whether we were into Pins, Arcade games or both.
I do seem to post more on AP as I'm into Pins more than arcade ( but I do own both ).
Have met some great blokes that are on both forums , at meets such as yours & Marks@the Central Coast & I've learnt heaps from fellow members & hopefully may have contributed to both forums. Anyway I'll still be logging onto both. It's all good.
Steve.

If I had an issue with one of the pins I reckon I would post on here first. Some very knowledgeable and helpful blokes here (not that they don't exist on AA). If it wasn't for AA I wouldn't have the pins, but I am tending to spend more time over here these days.

Post by: pinnies4me on February 04, 2009, 01:46:33 AM
I've never seen anything over here that would make anyone feel they need to be exclusive, and I imagine the same would apply at AA. As more people are finding AP the pinball content is growing, and certainly the restoration side of things here is second to none - AND the admins gave Coconut Island a "home" right at the start, which made it very welcoming for nug and I (as well as filling a big void for us). I still spend time on AA as well, and RGP, and would probably join any other local forum specializing in pinball too.

I can understand the sentiment, as it does take up a bit of time staying on top of posts and life would be simpler just choosing one to be involved in. Depends if you like reading all the posts or not - I do like reading all the pinball ones!

Paul  and everyone

there is no choice needed  post on both , if there is a topic you like here post  if its on Aussie Arcade  post there ,
 I dont see any problem saying the name of either site and posting on either site .

I have made my choice for my own reasons  and wont go into it again. I did very much enjoy my time on AA and made some great friends  , which most of are here. 

all I ask is my family  is left alone .  I feel you cross the line when a member says things about your family ,  **&

I am sure both sites have rules and regulations in place to suspend and kick off members for crossing the line , not only for this  but for many reasons .
