    This is the best option as this should of happened 8-10 years ago. Rob will have the Xpo back in its former glory. Happy attendees, Pinball life, Rob Anthony, Spooky and anyone else Mike managed to piss off.

    A simple solution would be for Mike to step aside and give it to Bob. Yes, Mike is part of the history of making the expo what it was. He is also the reason it is currently falling apart.

    Quoted from terrapinmark:

    But as we know. complex problems do not have simple solutions. aka lets pay a Starbucks employee 20 bucks an hour. Another simple solution "Monte" would be for Bob to step down as well. Bob is also the reason the current situation is falling apart.

    Bob is stepping down. Keep believing the false narrative that he is the reason it is falling apart. Cause and effect.

    Quoted from goatdan:

    Okay,...
    Let's be real fair. For however many years, Expo worked because Rob and Mike fit their strengths... Expo worked for 30+ years... It isn't right for this all to fall apart.

    I don’t hate Mike. I don’t want to see the Expo go away. I have had great experiences at the expo. Over the past several years something changed. It circles around one person involved and the attitude of fiefdom that changed the experience of attendees and volunteers and participants. This is known. It’s not just rumors. Sometimes people change. Some need a divorce or a new partner or a company needs a new CEO. It happens.
