I truly believe that the more games, the more people have an opportunity to have a chance to enjoy this hobby.

In that case I'll give a second down vote then, because you're absolutely oblivious as to why you annoy people here.

You take down votes personally like a preteen girl.

Downvotes are for disagreement or disapproval. I personally disagree with how you engage pinside (start 4 threads a day saying "hey everyone - I have a random thought and you're gonna see it as a dedicated thread littered in all the useful/helpful threads")

This thread alone, we have many good VE threads. But because you feel the need to be constantly heard, you make a new thread instead of contributing to the existing conversation because you think you won't get that extra attention you apparently desire for whatever reason. You even made a post in one of your dumb threads and then REPOSTED IT as an entirely new thread because you wanted the attention.

So yeah, if I'm here looking for advice, looking for a game to buy, looking at some of the good discussions, and see littered at the top ANOTHER self-serving thread you've created, guess what? I disagree with the approach, and a downvote comes.

It's not that hard. It's not the ASOA show. Be better at Pinside.

3 downvotes? I didn't see anything wrong with his post. What part didn't you agree with?

The K****A-like behavior

If you hate his threads so much just block him, ignore his thread or create a "I hate ASOA" thread.

Maybe don't create 3 new threads a day on topics that have been discussed to death? If you have a random thought, find an existing thread on the subject and post there. Constantly creating new threads makes you look desperate for attention and validation.

Like you said, you're new here ... maybe pay attention to what the community is trying to tell you?

Tron is the vault edition I am waiting for. I know they haven't announced anything.

To me, tron ve is just an eventuality. No rush I don't have the money to buy today anyways. I need an AFMr right now.

I don't know why they don't announce things and I can't think of a single good reason not to make a tron ve. If they don't I will just have to get a regular tron.

TRON VE would be great. Have heard a few people comment that Stern may not be able to get the licensing again from Disney to do another run. Sure would like to see that one though.

Therein lies the problem. You're more in the latter than the former. You're proved to be an attention troll.

Pez, myself, and the 60 others that downvoted you in the "I'm too rich and am bored with what's available NIB" are those that contribute, those that engage discussion threads, help others whenever possible... etc. instead of just turning pinside into a personal forum to make hourly inane announcements.

I'm not a bad guy, I'm sure you're not either in person. I just fundamentally disagree with how you treat this enthusiast website as your personal announcement board. You're diluting the important matters.

I won't say anything else on it. If you don't get it, look at your old threads and how you've rubbed people the wrong way.

You want to talk down votes? Ok, look at your up/down vote ratio. Then look at mine. I'm not knowlwdgeable on many aspects on this hobby, and in general have the people skills of a hornet. But I help where I can, be PART of the conversation, not the focus. You've been posting for 2 months and have more down votes than some that have been here years. That should signify something.

Ok perhaps a visual before I go watch football, since you can't understand basic things.

The "great community" is in green. The "disruption" is in blue.

Is this a Remake of your Original thought? (i am not sure why you capitalized those two words, as they are not names or proper nouns, but I just wanted to keep it consistent.

I think you are missing the entire point some people are trying to get across to you. This is not an original thread. there are plenty more just like it this. I think you would be better off stating your "thoughts" in a thread that is already started, instead of one that is made just for you.

Plenty of people have been happy to discuss these thoughts in MANY, MANY other threads already started.

Please just use the search function before starting another thread that has been discussed more than enough times already.

Just stop.

Kind of on topic here, how does one actually view their own personal upvote/downvote ratio?

Click on yourself at the top and find the link to your public profile and then click on the forum section.

You are batting a hundred.

Oops that was pickleric.

Thanks for the info. Took a second to find it. Under "forum activity".

Close. 97.1% positive. Not bad I guess. Been here 4 years and that was the first time I've ever looked. Maybe I'll look again in 2021.

Thanks again for the help.

Made me think of my favorite Allstate commercial

Can someone give me a downvote?

No. I upvoted you just to be an ass.

Nobody's saying you can't discuss it. They're saying there's no reason to make a NEW thread just for your opinion, especially when you are spamming the board with new threads every day. You have made more threads in 3 months than I have in 5 years, and I post a lot.

This x 1000!

Unnecessary new threads are Pinside Litter we all have to sift through to find the good stuff.

Sometimes when you prove you can't drive responsibly, the parents have to take away the keys to the car. I wonder if the mods have the right to revoke new thread creation...

Why is this troll even allowed to continue making threads? I ran out of thumbs down, ( literally, abuse ) didnt know that was possible..

Everything from the cadence of his posts to the fact that the threads invariably become about him is giving me a sense of deja vu.

He didn't like your thread, he downvoted and moved on. That's reasonable, different strokes, whatever.

You hijacked it yourself by whining about it, and have been whining about things going off topic since. You derailed your own thread into some victimization drama. Try to learn from this.

I don't know ASOA, but this is not a "Kaneda". From what I have gathered locally he is a good guy who has owned and routed pinball machines for a long time but has recently found out about Pinside. I'm sure we will do a deal someday, based on him being less than 2 hrs away

Ill participate, VE's are awesome but priced rediculously high as design and code time shouldnt be built in the price so it feels like a gouch, remakes are in the same boat with me, i have mixed feelings with new board sets for the older games. Everything is microscopicly surface mounted requiring you call the OEM for help or replacment EVEN for a bulb instead of fixing a thruhole component on your own or sending it off to the guys here or clive. So i just wont buy. But others who do i still see the advantages.
