What pinball forum do people use the most?

Two Australian sites:

This one is VERY active in general Arcade and Pinball:

This one is dedicated Pinball and less active but specific to Pins:

Ooh, nice. Thanks for the link!

To answer a few questions in this thread:

1) Yes, apparently many (perhaps the majority) of users post to RGP via Google groups and not a dedicated usenet client. This was recently revealed when google groups was having some sort of problem and people couldn't post. The post traffic dropped by a huge amount.

2) A lot of people like RGP because it's unmoderated, for better or worse.

3) A lot of people like RGP because there are more people there so there's generally a better response to posts.

I post on pinside, klov and rgp, but definitely most on RGP. I dug up a few more history things recently so I will post them. I'm not sure if people on this board care for that sort of thing, though. Seems it is more collector and tech here.

I think there's some confusion here. The gamesforum.ca "pinball forum" is just an echo of rgp in forum format, NOT a separate pinball forum. Same goes for the rpgarchive.com forum. I'd recommend the rgparchive forum over gamesforum, which seems to be a passive rgp echo. Pinballnirvana.com has some relatively quiet forums.

The busiest.most informative pinball 'forum' would be rgp, either thru usenet or rgparchive. This forum is a decent 2nd place, and has become more active in recent months.

Thanks for the explanation, might explain why I can't get my account activated over at gamesforum.ca

I've found RGP on google and have a read a few posts but have no idea how it works or how it's organized. I'll try again to figure it out.

I post the most on Pinside but also frequent here and Pinballbash. I like all three. I can't get on RGP at work so that limits me. Plus I can't stand the format. It's a shame as you get really good answers there, if the right person catches the question quick enough before it falls to an older page.
