    I'll offer you some advice that I received over 10 years ago when I was new to a forum.....DON"T POKE THE BEAR! That goes double on a pinball forum. People here are VERY passionate about pinball and sometimes it doesn't take much to set us off. That said Welcome to Pinside.

    Quoted from johnwartjr:

    I disagree. 'Be True To Your School' is my favorite, although 'Little Honda' and 'Hushabye' are also favorites.
    I think there are many reasons your thread doesn't get the answers others might
    It seems like an operator centric question. How do I get people in my location, playing my games. Granted, it may not be *your* location, or *your* games, but I'm not a location pinball player or a route operator. I'm a tech. I fix and restore games. Sure, I play pinball, but the amount of time I spend playing is a fraction of what I spend wrenching.
    A lot of the threads here are kinda BS threads. I don't mean that's a bad thing, as obviously people posting in them enjoy them, but I ignore them and focus on the threads that interest me - tech threads. I don't care about the latest and greatest LED, most modern Stern games, don't want to read the whinefests about how this game or that has incomplete software, or what you plated or coated on your pinball machine this week. I find if I read those threads, I end up making snarky replies sometimes, so I ignore them.
    Stick around, participate a little bit, and be patient. Nobody is paid to be here, it's a voluntary forum. Participation is voluntary. Not every thread gets a reply right away, some not at all.
    If you don't like pinside, that's fine, but why waste your energy to start a thread like this? If the site is of no value to you, why complain about it? Just cut your losses and find some other forum to post on, or someone else to ask.
    I do hope you get some solid ideas on some things you can try, though.

    Nicely said.

    Quoted from newmantjn:

    I'm guessing people will be lining up to answer all sorts of questions now.
    By the way, I'm looking for a few games:
    Krull
    Attack from Mars
    Mermaid
    TKO
    Big Bang Bar
    I'll pay up to $1000 for a really nice example. Thanks.

    I've got a really nice "example" I could sell you for $1000.

    Quoted from cdnpinbacon:

    Chess? I'd rather shove crayons up my ass.

    I can't stop laughing.

    Quoted from getbettersam:

    One thing I do know ,it is fairly easy to rile you guys up.

    Like I told you "Dont poke the bear". and Welcome, again.
