I have been a member of Pinside for almost 3 years, although I lurked for a while before joining. There is a wealth of knowledge here and people are always willing to jump in and help with problems with machines and with problems in life as far as that goes.
The one thing that was obvious from the day I first logged on to the site is that Stern haters are the most vocal members here. Anything Gary or Steve says is immediately jumped on and cast in a negative light by the same 5 or 6 people, over and over, in every..single..Stern..thread.
I think everyone here knows this, including the moderators and Robin. In fact, I think this is what Robin alluded to when he said he wanted the site to be more positive this year. Obviously the site has not become more positive, as it's more of the same.
So, having said that, this thread is for people like me, who think Stern is great for pinball, and has created some awesome machines. IMO, how could any unbiased person look at Stern and not see the advances made compared to other machines? The gameplay is simply FAST and awesome.
I didn't pull the trigger when I should have on TronLE, so it is going to cost me. I now have a Luci on order and that, along with ST will be my first, and maybe only, NIB games. Rock on Stern !
