Not everyone on there, but man, there are some people that don't give a crap about anyone. Then, some people ''one star'' you because they think they're god. F*** them.

And I will say this! With the exception of when i first showed up on this site, everyone has been pretty laid back and cool over here with positive thoughts and help, so thanks.

I haven't been back there in several months since I got my new hard drive. The repair shop installed IE8 and the "Trollkiller" program (killfile) for Google Groups does not work in that nor the later Firefox. Without the use of Trollkiller, the garbage over there is too much for me so I left.

When I had the use of Trollkiller, I could filter out the garbage.
 
The stars there don't mean shit, just ignore them.

There are trolls on every forum, not just RGP.

I didn't even know there was a star system so that tells you how important they are. Of course, I only post on RGP once in a while and read occasionally. There are a lot more people over there to answer questions so I don't really feel the need to jump in a lot of the time.

There are stars if you look at RGP thru Google ....but it's so irrelevant. If I cared about my one-star stalker I would have jumped out a window already! ;)
 
I read over there and post very infrequently. I typically hang out here and one other place as there seems to be a better atmosphere for exchanging ideas; but that is my perception.

ha ha ha you have one of those, too? There's someone who one-stars the heck out of everything I post. Too funny.
 
I hate it there for 3 reasons:

1. the search feature SUCKS. You would think RGP through Google would be awesome, but it is really bad.
2. I don't like the display format, I would much rather a traditional forum-style system
3. The aforementioned primadonnas.

I'm enjoying pinballbash.com for a pinball forum alternative. Smaller, but therefore closer-knit. Easier to use system, and for me, a lot more regional collectors (although it's open to anyone)

do they have more georgia/south carolina guys on there? there's only a few on here that i know of.


i've been to RGP a few times looking for specific info. the format is way dated and very clunky. the software on this site is a few upgrades old, but i like it. i like the posters here too. i haven't been around as long as some of the board regulars, but i've always been treated nicely and even when i ask my newbish questions, i've never been made to feel stupid by anyone here (i handle that well enough on my own. ;) ).
 
Some big egos and "click" types of people on RGP. If you don't take them too seriously you will not be annoyed. I one star my own posts to beat the other idiots to it!

There is a handful of people that will help out and many others that sit by silently.
 
There are some really good and helpful folks on rgp, of course there are some serious tools too. Comes with the territory I suppose. I haven't checked out rgp in a very long time though. Pinball machines are pretty easy to work on imo plus there is plenty of info out there on repairing them.
 
I know message boards are nothing new, but it seems that a lot of the pinball community is stuck in the old ways. We all know the places we have to email or call to get our stuff.

I had to send a money order for parts recently >.<

At least the folks who are not adapting, are still with us sharing parts and knowledge. I will gladly telegraph my order if need be.
 
One of the many reasons why I left!

Too many self proclaimed divas!

Too many "will this fit in my vehicle posts". Go measure the GD thing you idiot!


Will your face fit around my fist? Come here and let me try...

I've met lots of cool pinheads through R.G.P. But I don't read it through google, NNTP is the way to go for that, kill files and none of this starring crap.
 
I'm new to both forums and pinball in general and have to agree that this board is more friendly and easier to talk to people. Have to admit though, they get a lot of traffic at RGP and using the search function will bring up some great info.
