Over a year ago, I found a government owned building which would be absolutely perfect for a Pinball Expo. I even went as far as organising/gaining permission to hold a Pinball Expo if I wanted, with minimal cost. (lets say close to being next to nothing).
The building would hold around 100 or more pinballs, has ALL the facilities u would need, incl toilets, full canteen/food services etc etc etc. I could hold a pinball expo there anytime since i know the councillor, local police chief etc etc very well. (I did all their security Alarms/Cameras etc etc).
BUT i only own 35 ish machines, and u need triple that for a whiz bang Expo. There are very little AP members in QLD, and the AA fellas up here are large in numbers, who could make up the numbers etc. BUT, would the AA guys work from a MOD level down to do something with AP people.?
I have never asked because of 2 reasons, 1. the level of forums working together has never been huge in the past, and 2. all the AP members are all way down south, in Sydo and Melbourne.
If I made a HUGE effort to make something work, take all my machines which is a good start etc, invited other industry people etc, it just seems it is all too far for the people I would want to make all the effort for, all the AP people who live too far away.
And if I did try to do something, some people would say he is being a wanker with a big head who is trying to do something etc, so u can see why I havent tried before really. But the effort I would make so to speak, wouldnt be for me, it would be fopr pinball and for AP people etc.
For it to work, I would want a sitdown with the a AA mod representing that forum, and a AP mod representing AP, AT THE SAME TIME.lol but would that happen ? and would it just be too far for all AP people who are way down south ? thats why i never really tried, and would probably just put it in the too hard to do basket.
Mate...mate... mate...sigh....
What the frig are you on about?? Rocks in the head or just not thinking.
OK... so you got a lot of DMD... ive got a lot of 30's, 50's, 60's 70's machines... i also know of other people who would be willing to contribute games, inc some EM " oddities" that show the developement of games from all eras.
