I'm in, been just a little over 3 years since I jumped on board and took a very un-characteristic risk on an new company making a pinball machine, but I've been rewarded with one of, if not the best game I have ever owned, looking forward now to The Hobbit.

Couldn't agree more with the original poster about the group of people who insist on trolling every JJP thread, when I see thumbs down on a positive JJP post, I almost always know exactly who gave them, it's really pretty sad

Since this is a JJP thread and not game specific, it seems appropriate that I tell this story, it's the main reason that I jumped on board for WOZ when it was little more than a dream.

About 5/6 years ago, I was working on my Sopranos, had my garage door open, and stupidly placed my backglass near it. Later without thinking, I closed the door, you can imagine the sickening crunch as the door came down and the glass shattered in a million pieces The translite was very badly scratched, looked OK until you put light behind it, so I needed to find another, unfortunately at that time, no one I could find had any available including Stern.

I put my story on RGP, hoping that someone could direct me to a place to buy one, about 2 days later I received a direct message from Jack saying send me your address and I'll mail you a translite!! I was blown away, I had never bought anything from Pinball Sales in my life, and here he sends me one free of charge! When a company does something out of the ordinary in customer service, it really inspires confidence in them, and that was a huge factor for me on preordering both WOZ and The Hobbit.

Not the least surprised that I get up and find a few of the same suspects have just had to stick their noses into a thread that is clearly marked as a JJP Fan thread, a bit surprised though that some of the more vocal ones have shown some restraint, perhaps there is hope.

Look, I'm not a big fan of Stern, and I strongly disagree with a lot of opinions about their games, but when I read a thread title where someone is saying how much they love there new Stern game, I don't feel the need to go into that thread and crap all over it, or troll it, but that doesn't seem to be the case with WOZ/JJP threads. It started with the infamous Exejet/EZ Sleeze E troll on here and RGP, and after he was banned, others seemed to take up the cause.

I really don't think it's unreasonable for there to be 1 thread here on Pinside where people who are positive about JJP/WOZ/The Hobbit can talk in peace, there are lots of other game specific "club" threads on here where this is the case, why should this one be any different.

As one of the worst offenders, your take on this is completely unsurprising

You have nothing to apologize for, some of the comments on here remind me of those who think if you don't lock your car it's your fault if someone steals it!

Please let's keep this a positive thread, there are more than enough places to bitch and whine about whatever annoys you.
