Quoted from Aurich:They gambled, they lost, so it goes.
Quoted from Aurich:Good luck everyone.

Quoted from Fulltilt:Stretching my limited brain but I can’t recall JPop ever making a Zidware pitch on Pinside.
True, but if I recall, he put on a lot of 'presentations' at pin conventions.. Like Kulek.
Quoted from lpeters82:When someone buys a deeproot game they have to sign a contract to give it a perfect score on the Pinside ranking system. Further you can never make a post indicating there is anything wrong with said game. That's in the confidentiality agreement.
Wait, how would they find out you didn't? And once you HAVE the game, and posted a non-favorable review, do they come take the game back?
Quoted from Astropin:But when you hire JPOP I now have a problem. He should not be working in pinball ever again...ever.
Hire JPOP..
AND go online and be completely jack-assery towards and in front of other potential customers.
Honestly, even if JPOOP wasn't hired by them, their attitude on here completely signed me off of buyin' anything from them. Yeah, Customer Service is still a thing.

Quoted from flynnibus:If the solution doesn’t outperform the original... don’t do it.
And 'outperform' includes cost, support, and other lifecycle things. Not just 'performance' on how well it works.

Quoted from epthegeek:Lies.
- "A couple" = 2
- "A few" = 3
- "Some" = 4
"Handful" = 5 
Quoted from HighProtein:No pinball company has ever required "real player" data from pinball shows while in development phase to complete a pinball machine. In house data has been just enough historically.
Er, you must be meaning 'recently', as two of my locations back in the 90's were test locations for Bally/Midway. And we gave them data.
Quoted from cjmjmm2006:What locations were they? I am interested as I love the history of pinball and we are close in location. We operate more than half the state of WV.
This was back in the 90's, down in Georgia. 
Challenges Arcades (both locations at North Point Mall in Alpharetta and Duluth) and Tokens FFC in Acworth, GA.
We were to send them weekly earnings reports, any tech issues that occurred. We weren't allowed to update ROMs unless they told us it was okay. On some games (like WCS, Carnevil) they would send a rep down to go and pull some readings or make changes.
Quoted from cjmjmm2006:On vids we sent them updates. We had a full arcade redemption center at the Pittsburgh International Airport. I don't remember them ever asking for anything where they were on site for pinball but on MK, Carnevil, Area 51 and Cruis'n they certainly asked for data. If I can find it, we still have forms that they sent with the units to specify data on cruis'n based on time of day. So they wanted data prior to 5 pm and then data post 5 pm.
Yup! I don't have any of those forms now. At Tokens, we had Carnevil and .. a few other games. (I'm not a video person, can't remember which ones. Perhaps an advanced Hydro Thunder?) For Challenges, this was earlier in the decade - my TZ was a test game at this location, as well as WCS, Corvette, TOTAN, CV. At Challenges, they wanted weekend vs weekday reports. Tokens (the FFC) they wanted time of day loike you mentioned.

So I've been out of this thread for over a year now..
What happened with the sledgehammer and the playfields? Are we still waiting on a test of that?

Quoted from Richthofen:I don’t see how even the best lawyer can get him out of this. The SEC write up is incredibly damning and the fraud blatant. Had the guy simply misled investors about how he was spending the money without enriching himself and while documenting the transfers, maybe he could make a “whocouldaknown” defense. But he bought a condo in Hawaii LATE in the fraud. Its blatant and I don’t know what judge wouldn’t see that.
He's "free" if his lawyer can find loopholes, or incorrect technicalities with the charges. 
Quoted from Rdoyle1978:It does look like WYWH! that's from a video called "California" by a band Wax from the 90s
I recognize the Union Pacific Sheild on that door there. That dates it, really.

Holy f*ck, I'm offline for almost 3 months, and there's 1500 new posts. Thanks to ya'll for summarizing. I'm glad I didn't really miss any crap.
Quoted from Frax:And about 300 of them from the last 24 hours LOL
Yeah I noticed. Hah.

Quoted from blueberryjohnson:With the auction stuff presumably hauled out, the good folks at 12621 Silicon Drive are one step closer to (though still $5.6m away from) moving on with their lives.

And they've issued a new offering memorandum from the property, freshly scrubbed of deeproot mentions.

Another change that caught my eye: multiple details relevant to parties interested in manufacturing.
[quoted image]
As has was posted to this thread previously, Robert signed a lease for his manufacturing facility before determining if it would work for manufacturing (it wouldn't).
Now that we've seen a bunch of the equipment he bought, can more technically-inclined folks speak to whether any of it would have been a no-go given the property's power limitations?
Isn't a "fitness center" without equipment just a room?

Quoted from Rdoyle1978:So, what, it's an acrostic?
Maybe the first letter of each of those 20 words..
But that would be a LOT of "P"s.. Heh.

Quoted from Richthofen:Did this guy really say "My company is not deeproot 2.0" right after he gave away a RAZA backglass?
I mean, since technically he was a part of that, AND this, it's not all new, so it's deeproot 1.5.
