I hadn't posted on Pinside in long time and now it's asking me to donate or get someone to vouch for me. Seems weird but w/e. Anyone here willing to vouch for me on Pinside so I don't have to pay them $35.00?
 
Everybody wants a piece of that 1%er excess toy money. Even Pinside is playing that game, setting itself up as "we have more money than you can ever hope for" elitists. Just another example of how pinball is too expensive for real people.

*Yes, I'm jealous of people with stupid levels of money they don't need. And I'm not shy about the bitterness!
 
I miss Pinside from 12-13 years ago when I actually had pinball machines and was a daily contributor there. And I did notice the elitism and snarkyness for sure. A lot more negative reactions than positive ones no matter what you did.
 
It hasn't changed.

From 12 years ago? Yes it has. If Pinside was a restaurant guide, it would be listed as "$$$$$" now instead of "$-$$" back then.
But I agree, that the level of snarkiness and gatekeeping, and the "look what I have that you don't" aspects have not changed much. Maybe a little worse, but that follows from the $$$$$ rating.

My god the negative-ness...everyone knows everything about pinball production...so go start a multi million dollar pinball company. Sheesh.
