Lloyd, 5 years ago as a complete newb I asked on RGP "what is the best way to support pinball?" And this was your response:

I've been contemplating this post for some time, and very much not wanting
to make a all the kings horses and all the kings men can't put pinball back
together again type response.
But as I think about the last ten years. We've seen more shows, more
tournaments, more leagues, at least as far as the hobby more availability of
much needed parts, more collectors, lots of great games from Stern.
Yet pinball is in worse shape now than ten years ago after the demise of
Williams.
And a few years ago Stern had some of the brightest people ever working over
there, and they couldn't make a difference. They actually had a negative
effect.
I think we are long at the point of needing a new idea. So we can get out of
the negative effect thing that has been going on. Where everything done
makes things worse.
The answer is there. We just have to come up with it. LTG

So, how would you reflect on the past 5years and answer the question now?
