why dont you go one further cavey and have hidden stern lovers topics.
so no one else can join and you can talk to your self about how fantastic they are.
Oh wait they have a facebook page like that.
maybe cavey should be given admin rights to edit any negative things said about stern.
but dont expect cavey to hold back on JJP and his opinions on how they should operate their business,
you talk about having your cake and eat it too.
now that you are dictating how this forum should be administrated did you ask the admin if that suits them on the rules you are happy to make up?
I dont make rules, just suggestions, I dont dictate, I offer.
Most of the other stuff you said is silly, but you can say what u want. I can laugh.
Re JJP, its/they are discussion threads yes, its a discussion thread.....woz or stern or gottlieb or whatever manufacturer.....open to likes or dislikes.
Preferably constructive criticism i like.
But the idea I thought of for 2013 allows people to look at a new pinball without having to read our 35 page friendly debates.
We can still all talk shit, but a FACT only page for a new title allows people to see the machine without discussions, incase they are looking to purchase......(sort of looking at a new car without the car slaesman hanging over your shoulder versus having a salesman with you at all times when you are at a car dealership - people can then chose, a Discussion thread, OR a Fact -resource only page)
Also, my questions about JJP etc, are questions, and also any statement I make is usually to try n be constructive about JJP I thought, but i didnt think I was a JJP hater, or ever said anything close to it......The idea for 2013 is for people to chose from...Its not for my benefit, its for other members who may wish to see the different versions of a thread as mentioned above. Some people dont want to read thru 35 pages to find a video, or a flyer, or a set of photos etc. The FACT page only cleans things up. People can chose for themselves. We cant decide for people by having one thread only IMO.
Two wont hurt anyone, people can read whichever they want, or one only. I thought this place was a democracy. AND these last several posts PROVE IMO why there should be a uncluttered FACT only RESOURCE thread with photos/flyers/videos etc without discussion or clutter.
See how we go in 2013. Admin can intervene if they feel the need. But why should new members or old, have to read thru 35 pages to find a photo/flyer or video, when they can find it much easier on a FACT resource page. Not everyone will read a 35 page discussion thread to find those things. We have to cater for all types here is my opinion.
