Please vote in the poll, so we can see the current mix of how long Pinsiders have had an account here on Pinside.

If you were a lurker for a while before creating an account you can vote per your total combined years or just the number of years since having an account.

Feel free to add your comments & insults (I mean insights).

It's all good no matter how long you have been hanging out here.
Well, there have been some short-lived epic crash and burns by a few Pinsiders over the years.

How many years on Pinside til one is considered an old-timer? 7+ years??

Which Pinsiders have 7 or more years here on Pinside?

I realize Robin & Martijn have been here since the beginning.

Hey Gryszzz,

Go play your AC/DC pinball machine, so that you can get your a$s kicked.

Congrats for 10+ years on Pinside to: schudel, rai, nerbflong, & Sparky

However, the judges can't award any of you guys with the Pinside Forum Super Posters Award.
This is because we have all been left waaaay behind these pinsluts (I mean these nice guys that like pinball):

You are correct Sparky.
Don't let me derail this topic.
Carry on. The weekend is almost here.

13 years on Pinside for goatdan and John_I. Way to go guys. Impressive.

Currently it shows they have been here for 14 years, and they have the first two Pinside accounts.
Around Nov 2nd, I guess it will show them as being here 15 years. So that is the max.

Actually, they are not old or "old school", but they are a bit mysterious.

200 votes in 3 days. Thanks Pinsiders. Nice spread in poll results.

Pretty sure boob pics served in part as pacifiers for us here on the forum. When bickering back and forth and personal attacks started escalating in a particular thread topic, then someone would throw in a couple pics of beautiful women, and then things would settle down at least for a while.

If the pics of hot ladies included pinball machines, then we would justify that the pics were not off-topic for a pinball forum.
Here is a pic of a colorful pinball flyer.

Some of the funniest comments to follow were comments that mentioned something insightful about the pinball machine(s) in the pics, and seemingly "not noticing" the cute lady, ...cuz we're pinball geeks.

Note the custom programming in the alpha-numeric displays in the backglass showing machine name and date.

Production count for DEP Playboy 35th Anniv was 2338, and they were produced from May to Aug, 1989.

Around Nov 1, 2002 is when Robin & Martijn created their accounts.

Way to go jsandjs, dnapac, & Hooked for 13 or more years on Pinside.
