    Quoted from vid1900:

    1% at most.
    No pin owners who I service games for read it.
    No real operators read it (real = full time and only job)
    No casual players I meet at the arcade read it.

    I think only once in my life have a met a pinballer at a bar who happened to have an account here.
    -
    I fixed a guy's Bally KISS and asked him if he saw the new Stern one:
    Homeowner: Really??? There is a new KISS pin?!
    Vid: Yeah, it actually plays 10 songs in stereo! Do you ever go on Pinside?
    H: Pinside? I think I went there once. Is that the place where people put dolls and toys on top of their games?
    V: Yep, you've been there.....

    Well I believe anything vids writes so ya less than 1 percent

    It's tough because what is a pinball hobbiest? Someone who owns 1 or more machines? Or someone who seems out Machines while at a bar or arcade.

    OP
    Quoted from PismoArcade:

    I'm thinkin' anyone who enjoys and plays pinball on a regular basis.
    It seems like half of the people that I meet at pinball expos are current or former Pinsiders.
    I went with 20%, but what do I know?

    Also are you including worldwide? It that's the case then it's probably a low number. How many people love pinball that don't speak English? That will eliminate alot of people who use the site
