American Pinball HOUDINI might be at Pinball Expo

Quoted from vid1900:
Maybe victims can get some of their money back though the sale of truckstop postcards?
These would sell in the Northern states too I bet.

You're out of line. Remove that fucking picture

If Jpop shows up, I guarantee there will be a hanging by an angry mob.

It's a picture from the near future.

Or they just took mg and changed a few things around, slapped new art on and are calling it Houdini..? Could they get away with that?

I wonder who the artist is who agreed to do it ?

Showing a lynched African American should be an automatic ban. I don't give a f*ck who you are.

I hope no one is physically harmed as a result of any of this. There's enough mob mentality in the world today as it is, don't need it in pinball.

I don't care what color you are. That pic is offensive and disturbing. In the very near future I hope your only form of communication here will be via postcards. You've done a lot of good for the community but that is so far over the line I expect an immediate significant ban.

Don't worry I'm not editing. I'll take the thread bounce. I have said several times not to be threatening. To compare me trying to motivate the pinball community to warn people about JPOP to what vid posted is ludicrous. I do not think anyone should physically attack JPOP or American Pinball. There are other ways to go about it and have better results.

I post because I care about the community. If you are okay with watching your pin buddies get raked and taken so be it.

Oh and just in case you missed it the first time.

I didn't lose any money to JPOP, so not my call, but if I did, I would want him to be invited to expo. He got away without a public shaming, and I think expo would be the perfect venue to humiliate him and get a little closure. You should all welcome him with open arms, and then give it to him and the new investor when he shows up! Video tape it and put it on youtube for all to see.

Personal attacks and vulgar remarks are still against the rules. Those don't change even if someone else posts something you disagree with. Report it, and try not to get sucked in and help to fan the flames. Disagreeing with something is fine--just try to avoid personal attacks and vulgar remarks.

Let's try to be a bit more civil and not derail the thread any more than it already is.

Okay let me preface this post by explaining that the following is just my personal opinion and in no way reflects the views of Pinside or any of the other staff members.

IMO there should be an all out boycott by the community on any new Pinball Machine that has Jpops name attached to it. What he did to defraud many in the pinball community is inexcusable. Anyone who does buy a new pin with Jpops name attached to it (regardless of what company it is) are filling the pockets of a man that has defrauded many pinheads of their money. This man has no business making anymore money in this industry after what he did. Inviting a man that has done what he has done to an Expo event/presentation is of poor taste.

Most likely a mod. The thread ejects were justified. A few people were out of line. This is coming from someone who has run afoul of the mods on more than one occasion. If anything vid got off lightly.

If you're talking about the first post in the thread, it looks like Mike edited the original expo feature summary after the feedback he received.

The other edits that dung referring to were fairly minor and only removed a few vulgar phrases.

Wait a minute......his post was of poor taste with JPop super imposed, cut-n-pasted, whatever, on a lynching. To call him a racist and a ban from pinside, that is ridiculous.

Do you have to use such an extreme image though? Could you not get the point across with a stick figure? You need to use a photo of two black teens that are ACTUALLY DEAD surrounded by 60 white guys looking all too pleased?! And then he says even the north would sell this indicating that yes, he realizes it's a racist post.

Any actual photo of a person murdered is bad enough for a ban, one that was a hate crime is even worse. How does a photo like that help better that pinball community?
