    Quoted from Frax:

    Do you feel that they've succeeded with that? I sure as heck don't. There's still plenty of people on here that are just completely incapable of having a debate about a topic without it turning into a toxic mess. Differences of opinion that we all used to shrug and laugh about now are practically a "You might ACTUALLY get dox'ed" moment.....or in Kaneda's case, some prick might actually contact your employer and try to get you fired. The intolerance of anyone that has different ideas than your own here is so high at this point we're having to quantify it with scientific notation.
    And a lot of it is the same guys that have been here since....10 years ago.

    Picture a room. Now fill that room with Apex personalities. Successful, strong, independent, most think their junk is way bigger than the others. Sprinkle in some pointless Alphas to mix it up and throw in Betas for stress relief.

    Now introduce a topic they’re in that room for yet have different points of view about it. WHALA! I introduce…

    Ordinary people. Every chat group. Ever. Except RGP near the end. Frankenfurter, ZERO moderation or self control amongst a few severe distorted guys who took everything personal. I’ll take Pinside now and back then over that shitshow.

    RGP was great for first 4 years I was on it. But damn it went south fast.

    Well, I’ve never seen so many internet experts in my life!! I QUIT!*

    *For the next 10 minutes. Gotta do things.

    Quoted from Beechwood:

    I used to sign every post on RGP with "Hey, it's only pinball" to try to keep everything in perspective.
    I guess I should have carried that over to pinside, cause so many take this hobby way too seriously.

    That’s right! Every post! Many times it’s kept my typing finger off the fucking keyboard in the heat of the moment.

    Quoted from CubeSnake:

    'Ol Frankie was responsible for that. My God was that guy annoying! I'm not sure if he ever migrated over to here, but as far as RGP, he single-handedly ruined it, and I'm sure he was rock-hard over the fact.

    Rumor was it was Clay Harrell. Could it have been him?

    Quoted from Pdxmonkey:

    I think she got burnt out babysitting adults for little to no pay.

    Last I spoke with her she was going through lifestyle changes.

    She sold me her Kingpin spot awhile back. I didn’t pry too much but got the gist it had little to do with Pinside.

    Quoted from Honch:

    True, but there is still a surprising amount of people that are still here from 10 plus years ago.

    Where? I don’t see em.

    Quoted from taz:

    No kidding? I forgot about that. I would love if Kingpin was made/remade, but I haven't read anything about it in a long time. Is it still happening?

    No idea. But last I emailed the gang doing the project they were all busy doing their full time gigs. I played the original. Fucken A that’s a kickass fun pin. So I’m hoping they can get the manufacturing going with whomever they can get. AP? CGC? Hell, Stern or even JJP at this point.

    I would believe Rick@PPS would know if someone approached about this by now.
