    Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:

    This forum is all kinds of fun with great contributors and very helpful information. Once you've been in certain groups long enough, you seem to know the regulars pretty well and can even consider them friends. Part of the fun is giving each other a hard time and goading one another. Outsiders may perceive as hate, but insiders know that its all in clean fun and enjoy the sparring.
    Just concerned that this element will be removed from the forums without any consideration of what is really going on.

    If giving people a hard time and being a smartass gets you on the list, then I'm at the top of the list. Nice knowing y'all.

    Quoted from emkay:

    Three weeks after it was reported, people are jumping on it today? That's disingenuous at best.
    This is exactly what I was getting at in my initial post: inconsistent moderation creates some of the chaos here.

    You brought it to our attention today, and we went back and are looking into it/trying to fix it. I'll tell you that at least one was in the middle of a swath of reports on a hot topic thread and just got lost in the mix. I promise we're not saying you are lying and we're not trying to run and cover anything up... we're just few and far between these days and doing the best we can. We've all got full time jobs, family, and lives to work around, and can't be on Pinside all the time. Thank you very much for reporting the issue though, seriously, as there's no way we see things otherwise. Feel free to open a mod feedback thread if you really need to bring something to our attention, and we'll do the best we can. I'm in the middle of doing some catching up on the outstanding verification and feedback threads right now to make sure we're caught up there.

    I'll speak for myself and say that I've barely been here lately between a chronically ill husband and my dad having a heart attack last week. The last thing I want to do after a full day of work/stopping by the hospital is get online in the evening or spend my lunch break trying to play babysitter for grown adults bickering over expensive toys. Pinball in general is no fun sometimes when all the news seems to be delays, lawsuits, ripoffs, and messed up NIB machines, and even less fun when it's your job to try to clean up all the mess and make this place suitable and fun for everyone. Of course there's going to be disagreements and differing of opinions, but we're adults here and should at least try to act like it.

    If anyone wants to volunteer to sign up as a moderator, please raise your hand and let us know. There are no benefits, there is no pay, and you get to have people hate you and tell you how much you (and therefore Pinside because of your lack of moderating) suck.

    Quoted from pmWolf:

    (On our very first date, I took Julie out to see Street Fighter the Movie, starring Jean Claude Van Damme. She didn't instantly leave me, so I married her.
    Poor girl).

    Husband rushed through his proposal because he had opening night tickets to Star Trek Nemesis. Sigh. Pinball/nerd wives much be a special bunch.
