Think of this every time someone says seagulls and shore in the same sentence now!
Quoted from Eightball88:Genuine question here.... what is he shilling?
He was probably using an alt to participate without the baggage of his main account. He’s a hugely valuable resource but I imagine the burden of dealing with all the bullshit gets old.
I heard he went out seeking the truth about Stern and JJP's playfield issues and has yet to return. Reportedly he's still undercover at an unknown playfield manufacturer.
Quoted from PinMonk:Didn't have much choice. His nicely-aged shill account he'd been using (or at least one of them) since he "disappeared" was blocked late last year. So start over with a new, no posts, bannable-if-discovered-again shill account or go back to vid1900 were the options on the table.
what account was that?
Nah, if Vid were really at DeepRoot, they would have already produced half a dozen dimple free titles.
I’ve always wondered if vid was many people using the account.
He has always answered my questions. Great info.
I’ve always pictured Vid as LTG’s alter ego and a bad boy exterior. Gruff, moody, full of shit but willing to serve you some. Not afraid to piss into the wind.
Quoted from cshelden:I’ve always wondered if vid was many people using the account.
He has always answered my questions. Great info.
It was eerie right? How could ONE MAN know SO MUCH about SO MANY things without being truly ancient in the literal sense. Truly a renaissance man for our troubled and distracted times.
Nice to see a sign of life! Pity, tho.... another few days would have been Groundhog Day, coulda had fun with that. I hope he didn't see his shadow.

It’s been awhile. Was speaking in general.
Quoted from Eightball88:Genuine question here.... what is he shilling?
Well he was always a proponent of replacing perfectly good classic Bally flipper mechs with Williams ones for improved feel and longevity. *shill*!
Vid was always the life of the party. I heard he was suffering from a medical condition but is now in recovery
vid1900 Unlocked Pinside achievement Good Pinsider 2 (Don't get moderated for 6 months while being a promising poster)
I got this yesterday.
Quoted from Eightball88:Genuine question here.... what is he shilling?
You have got to be shilling me!
Quoted from PinDeLaPin:You have got to be shilling me!
Didn't you mean "you're shilling me, Smalls"?
He's not really back until he makes an appearance here.
His account my have been hacked by the Kung Flu (aka Sweet and Sour Sickeness).
I am a musician... He is on the Fender Guitar Groups online... he has posted there recently... some of the info on the accounts is the same... so I am sure it is
the same guy... He probably got tired of the BS here... I almost left after the first week I was on here from the bashing I was getting for selling a few machines and people arguing about what shape they were in and what kind of person I was etc... there is great info here... but there is also childish BS... he probably got tired of it... at times I can't say I blame him...
Quoted from QuickSilverShelby:Republican or Democrat? Just curious.

Vid doesn't succumb to political parties he has declared himself King Vid of all things pinball.
The thread of Vid and his eastern European friends showing up at that one guys homes to purchases some parts is the stuff of legends.
Quoted from QuickSilverShelby:Republican or Democrat? Just curious.
Libertarian, obviously.

You guys aren’t even trying. He’s a card-carrying anarcho-syndicalist.
I think his political stance is more Boobartarian_ish . . .

I was just going for the lowest common denominator. I wasn't reaching out to the academics or the sophisticated folks .

Quoted from captainadam_21:Isn't there a separate thread where vid tries to set the record straight?

I'm just hoping Levi won't ruin our fun, and let us recycle more old Chuck Norris jokes some more...
Quoted from captainadam_21:Isn't there a separate thread where vid tries to set the record straight?
And that was 3 years ago too.
Quoted from ImNotNorm:See post #52 in this thread
Holy shit, can't believe that any part of that story was true!
Quoted from vdojaq:And that was 3 years ago too.
Who cares how long ago it was? It doesn't mean it wasn't the greatest thread in pinside history.
Quoted from captainadam_21:Isn't there a separate thread where vid tries to set the record straight?
It's here:
Including these classic, legend-building quotes: "They were not pissing on your house.", "Why would I kill you guys?", "Why would I set your house on fire?" ...AND... "OK, this part I'll admit was unfortunate."

I would agree, it's one of....
Quoted from Topher5000:I seem to remember something about it being a story dreamed up by cichlid & vid1900?
When reading the two threads it does kind of reek of the whole Andy Kaufman/Jerry Lawler Letterman brawl. Totally planned way in advance by both parties.
Quoted from Atari_Daze:uh-oh, could he be gone again?
Had 40,000 PMs and decided not to stay?
Maybe he logged in by accident? But I don't think Vid does anything by accident.

Lies! Don't make me come piss on the side of your house.
