Really well said Mr Strangeways.
As Mark C always says, pinball is meant to be fun.
At the end of the day, everyone on Aussie Pinball and Aussie Arcade, all have one huge thing in common, WE ALL LOVE PINBALL.
I think the EXPO topic creates so much, so many different versions/opinions, cause we all want to "showcase or show off" this dam great hobby we love so much to as many new faces as possible. And sometimes, its like we are all fighting to present our hobby the very best way we all can.
Yes, alot of us are perfectionists or nit picky cause we all care heaps, and thats a good thing.
We all have to remember, Pinball comes first with the fun factor. All the politics and rivalry between businesses or forums always comes last and is really insignificant compared to the fun and joy of this dam great hobby. I have met more great people in the last 2 years with Pinball, than i have in 20 years without it. !
It will only be a matter of time before a few blokes from all parts of this industry/hobby get together again and put together something fun and great that we all will be proud of.
There too many great people in this thing called Pinball to stop the natural evoloution. One of the most important parts to keeping this Industry alive is the success of STERN. Any opportunity to promote them, anywhere, to the mass public in anyway, can only be great for pinball and new buyers/hobbyists. New blood, of all ages. Like a recruitment drive. lol
