I like all you people out there, hates or lovers. Its good, its pinball, its life. If you buy something you believe in, you made a right choice. If someone knocks your choice, shrug your shoulders and go play pinball. Enjoy and experience something the knocker does not have.

It doesn't make sense to have multiple threads running on what is essentially the same topic (and thereby trying to avoid any "healthy discussion" on a topic that everyone here is naturally interested in talking about.) 99% of the posts in this Avengers thread were in my view fair and balanced observations about the machine itself, and vary rarely (if at all) a personal attack.

A critique of a machine's layout/design or the production/manufacturing decisions behind it is NOT A PERSONAL ATTACK and should never be interpreted as such.




I have been on other pinball forums where separate threads (fact vs discussion) on newly released or in production machines became a necessity primarily due to mob mentality, but also due to poor (lack of impartiality) moderation which exacerbated it. (Having to wade through pages of "discussion" posts which state that anyone who has a deposit on WOZ is a homosexual (this is the civilised version) is not only offensive but gets very boring......)

I am certain that AP is well above that "seagull mentality" level, due not only in part to the moderation team, but also to the quality of the forum membership itself.
