It's a private website so it's really up to the owners to decide what type of community they want it to be. I know if it was me I would probable allow it in a specific forum that you had to pay to to post in and be a paying member to visit. I think way too many people exploit this site for profit, I would be taking a significant rake from that part of the community. I would take a much bigger rake of the mod community as well, especially the drop ship and LED Strip market. I guess I am a hypocritical capitalist, I do think all the flipping and gouging in pinball is bad for the hobby. At the same time if you can't beat them join them and its clearly good business. I would like to see a little more separation of the hobby and business.

I would love to see the price of pins fall. I could not care less what the price of LEs or how many extra thousand people are willing to pay for that once in a lifetime opportunity to get a hold of an average routed Pro. I just want to be able to find a project that asking price isn't the same as HEP. The value of pins has completely lost touch. I wish the new shiny pin market would separate from the players pin market.
