This forum will move on, and the people behind this concerted effort to keep members of this forum out of the event can enjoy their perceived success.

Most here have lives that don't revolve around having to live off internet triumphs....

As Swinks said, it's supposed to be about enjoying pinball and the event. Seems most here appreciate that, and I suppose members had a chuckle at the hypocrisy demonstrated on the other thread - 

I am highly disappointed that this thread was announced in such a manner, and because of such, it has been tainted on AP for a second year.....
.....For the commmon good of pinball pls gentlemen!.....

As Nino said - what a joke!

I am wondering if the people who run the other forum appreciate this behavior? I am thinking they are probably a little embarrassed now.
