    Quoted from BMore-Pinball:

    I would love to see a d0n & greatwichjohn team up thread
    that would be the bestest ever

    And then Steveseum jump in and say “hold my beer”!

    Quoted from dmacy:

    We are absolutely due for a Steveseum victory lap thread here, from any of his 4 different pinside profiles. I would expect it to detail how he was always right about everything, and how Gameseum was an unqualified success and he voluntarily decided to shut it down because the spectacular good fortune of his establishment was embarrassing the rest of the industry and he was worried about hurting the rest of the country's arcades.

    I mean...it actually would read just like that.

    #654 1 year ago

    I only managed to get blocked by d0n, but not get a dedicated thread.

    I did learn that I guess pinside tells you that you're blocked by someone now though? Hadn't seen that before.

    https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/another-new-pin-reveal-12-16-punny-factory

    I got blocked too. Apparently d0n likes and wants my style but he doesn’t like or want me.
    Found out on Valentine’s Day
    Life goes on I suppose.

    #656 1 year ago

    I got my first block ever by anyone from him, too. I didn't even know what happened until I was suddenly ignoring somebody, apparently? Oops. I'd feel special but apparently you can block 100 people so it's hardly an exclusive list given the caretaker. Oh well!

    I still genuinely have mixed feelings about such dumpster fires being routinely listed as "The Best" of Pinside though. Like oh yay yay har har point at the toxic clownshow, maybe it's funny now and then but then if that's all that makes "The Best of" list, it's hardly a good reflection of the larger community. Might as well stay on Facebook for toxicity so why come here at all? That d0n thread was a rare dive for me, I try to avoid those pits. Frankly I consider them embarrassing. But of course I'm not above it, oof.

    And yet, elsewhere within Pinside there's so much more constructive, positive stuff... the stuff that hook us and make it an inescapable resource in spite of the clown shows... yet those barely merit a whif by comparison. Just seems weird to me. Guess I wish this thread would be renamed, but I can be pedantic like that.

    Ah well, rant over.... carry on!

    #657 1 year ago

    From what I can tell Don has blocked every single person on pinside, except for the 10 who upvoted his Crazy Levi hate thread.

    Which honestly probably works out best for everybody.

    #658 1 year ago

    Having weird, unhinged pinball personalities obsessed with you is highly overrated.

    #659 1 year ago

    #660 1 year ago

    I just checked dOn's email. It might not be dOn that has you blocked.

    Also, we really should allow this thread to get back on track before we get scolded.

    d0n hands down accomplished in 48 hours what took GWJ to accomplish in 6 months. d0n is the hands down winner.

    However, maybe Otaku/Gamenaseum could teach GWJ a few things about GFM's in a new thread.

    Give him time it has to be coming. He only posted that the arcade was closing 5 days ago and “he needed help moving machines ”. He also posted “DO NOT ASK TO BUY MACHINES!”

    Steven showed up at TNT Amusements on Valentines Day in the evening (I was at the movies with my daughter and did not see him) and he says he is going to wait a couple years and reopen somewhere else bigger than ever...that is why he is not selling his stuff.

    To anyone who thinks Pinside is SO toxic, please by all means, just leave. No announcements, no long goodbyes, just inactivate your account and go away. Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean no one else should either.

    I miss talking about my daily routine. Nothing much has changed with my life. Thought it was good entertainment with over 10k posts. Still slowly working on my pinball machine for one lone whale for TPF 2024. Got good use of the first winter jacket donated by vdojaq, since it has been a warm winter. Still using the donated grill by a Canadian donation. Still love my beer, cheap food, & nickel betting!

    C'mon John. Didn't you get enough attention in your four threads to last a lifetime?

    Just do your build. Or not. Since you admitted the whole thing was a troll job, no one cares anymore. Please stop trying to hijack other threads with your nonsense.

    You've been given several chances by the Moderators and burned too many bridges here. Your comment is off topic and you're pushing boundaries with them.

    I suggest you start a thread on your Facebook page. That's a serious suggestion and I will help you with it if you need.

    Send me a private message if interested. But whatever you do, do not respond or post any further in this thread.

    John, I see that the old RGP pinball site is still up. Maybe try posting there? https://groups.google.com/g/rec.games.pinball

    #680 1 year ago

    I thought about RGP also, but have you checked the conversation titles?

    You can't change it from outside.

    If people want to make it a better place, this is where to do it from.

    If anyone doesn't want to think there is some toxic cultures on pinside, they are the problem.

    #684 1 year ago

    It's unfortunate what happened to RGP, but honestly, it turns out the only thing worse than a moderated forum is an unmoderated forum.

    It really was hopping for about 10 years. Bought countless games via RGP, at prices that would make noobs gasp!

    "OK, $700 seems fair for a shopped EATPM with a slightly faded cabinet and a couple cloudy inserts I'll come pick it up tonight."

    This thread has veered far off topic. With the consent of the OP, I am locking this thread for the time being in hopes that if it is unlocked one day in the future it is back on topic.

    If - after 30 days - any of you have a thread that you feel should be added to the best of Pinside list, PM the OP and ask that he remind me to re-open the thread...we will then see if the pause brings us back on topic.

    Thank you.

    We’re back! Again, I ask respectfully, keep this thread on track. No trolling, shit posting or garbage.

    A pinsider offers a brutally honest assessment of his own game that brings much applause:

    Someone goes trying to speculative sell his spot for a Pulp Fiction LE - $2500 OVER the MSRP price once fully delivered. It is quite a shock when the community collectively tells him to go fuck himself.

    #688 1 year ago

    I ran out of downvotes before i got to the end.

    He watched that arsehole D0n do the same thing in fathom, did the same thing himself in Fathom, and learnt fuck all.

    Self destruct.

    At least D0n did it after people were pelting out of preorders and he collected them because he had confidence in the company. I think it was only when he realised he would have to pay for three or four games upfront that he went all money psycho.

    His intentions were right when he acted, not like this current contestant for arsehole of the year.

    Quoted from PoMC:

    I hate criticizing any for sale ad but charging $2500 over for just a spot warrants every downvote and wrath of Pinside. The same for similar stupidity.

    #692 12 months ago

    He shut the thread/sale down and still is getting downvoted. Lots of stupidity is needed to achieve that.

    #693 12 months ago
    Quoted from NPO:

    Got one in the making. Hopefully, the OP will get all poo poo face and bring the heat with his passive aggressive banter!

    *** EDIT - In a great twist, the OP doesn't even know what edition game he has as he tries to charge $15000 OBO in June 2022 for a game paid at most $8800 for in January 2022.

    update . owner got 15k . And paid 6400 to the door in 2015 . Appreciate the interest in my posts.

    That person is creating multiple accounts to stir up nonsense. Its pathetic someone has so little to do in life and resorts to that trash.

    So are we guessing its Caneduh or i know of another Pinsider that liked to make fake accounts for silly BS as well
