I love KLOV. Been coming here for years not only to look up info on a game but have also added pics and info for many games as well. But when I think of KLOV, I think of Arcade Games and Pinball Machines. To see that it has branched out to listing Vending Machines of sorts and other types like weight machines and oddball stuff from the 20'-50's is kinda depressing. It just seems that you could make a seperate website for the other stuff and leave KLOV to just Video Games and Pinball Machines. Same goes for VAPS, I wish they would have just stuck to listing Arcade Games and made a different site for other things.
 
I, for one, am happy that KLOV has branched out to incorporate all things coin op. They were always affiliated with the International Arcade Museum so incorporating the things included with that don't bother me in the least.
 
I'm not quite sure what the problem is, does having those forums somehow affect your ability to use these forums? They arn't doing anything by just being there, if anything they serve to keep the infrequent oddball threads in thier own seperate forums.
 
I've never understood the attitude people have where they want everything all neat and organized, or it's depressing. Like when somebody posts in the wrong section, and everybody gets upset about it. WTF? I've never understood it.

Holy shit, nail on the head. I use the 'new posts' button when browsing the forums so I never even know what section someone posted their thread in nor do I care. To me, they are all just arcade-related threads. The only threads I loathe are the political ones. I wish those would not come up when I refresh 'new posts'. Tedious, boring, embarrassing and petty.

Start a new site called DarkMagister's Arcade only site;)
 
I too only look at one section- the New Post section.

Me three.

One of the glorious things about VBulletin software. ;)

I have made an effort to not post in the technical area with silly stuff though, as one member flagged my post and replied, saying I was "part of the problem" with this site... :rolleyes: And my post was removed. Sheesh.
 
Well, I do have my own little website. Its just a compiled list of websites related to Arcade collecting. Makes it easier to find things I'm looking for. http://arcadelinks.webs.com/ As for posting in the wrong section, where should I have posted this question?

Paying attention to just the stuff that interests you and ignoring the rest works pretty well. I read your post, have been here virtually daily for a couple years and my thought was, "They've got that?" :D

I do the same as well. Just gets to be a pain having to scroll through all the stuff not Arcade Game related. Plus I noticed that some games are out of place or have been completely erased from the list altogether. I tried looking up Ghostbusters yesterday and its gone. I mean I'm not bitching about the site, I love this place, been collecting games for 10 years now and I come here almost everyday. I just never signed up as a member here til 2005 and even then I never posted on these boards. Did most of my posting on rec.arcade on google which is kinda dead now. But when I think of Killer List of Video Games, well, I think of Arcade Games and not Weight Machinces and Test your Strength Machines.
