Quoted from DNO:This conversation always turns into a bash fest for the Stern haters to latch onto
Its more "operators" and when its costing them time and money well of course they get a hate on. I've never had an issue with a node board or coil stops, rreally anything but my pins get maybe 500 plays a year and its rare they last much longer than that. Not saying the ops aren't justified in their complaint or it doesn't happen to non ops but there should be a sub section for strictly operators. Thats a breeding ground for hate, regardless how much u love pinball the "operator" is a different animal than the collector or simple enthusiast. Maybe not, who cares.
