I bought my first pinball in 96. I got obsessed with the hobby in 2007. I found the different forums such as this one where people helped each other along. In the past year I've noticed a big change in the forums, maybe not so much this one, but some of the others (pinside, RGP).
It seems anymore all people want to do is bash each other, or dominate by demeaning others for just seeking help. Dealings on craigslist fell through and they want to publicize other members that may have been involved.
The price police is another big problem. Someone posts a game for sale at $XXX. Within a few responses you have someone chime in that can buy them all day for half that in better shape, shitting all over the OPs add.
I understand everyone has an opinion on a subject, but why do some seem like they have to go out of there way to be an ass about it?
I've been undercut on games for sale. Shit happens and keep looking for another one.
The supply in demand is another good one. An attack from mars use to go for $2500, but not anymore. If you can't afford one at $6-8000 move on.
Will the forums get back to the way they were, or just get worse?
Anyone else feel the same way?
