VPF is a great site! The best! I like the owner as well, but lets face the facts here… Visual Pinball is a hobby NOT a business. I hosted this site for a couple of reasons… A: Wanted a site EVERYONE can post and talk to each other. B: I REALLY don’t like people discussing DOF or sam emulation on VPF! C: Do not like the banning of links to other sites! hate that! D: I was bored and thought i would try and setup a forum. E: Never charge for site access that is wrong! Donations sure… vpuniverse gets it! Speaking of vpuniverse another great site! So come on people post some content! ?
I’m glad to have found this site. Great to have a “safe” place to chat about all things virtual pinball.
I had been using Future Pinball and VP since back in 2007/08…. but hadn’t been up to date with too much of it since then. In the last year I got right back into both big time, and had ALOT of catching up to do since I wanted to build my own pinball / arcade cabinet.
It wasn’t until after I was done most of my cabinet that I started to read on all the various forums… wow there is alot of history, and “politics” that happened over that last 6 years whether it be VP Forums, Future Pinball and its creator, modding of tables, Stern, etc…
Made for quite the bit of reading to catch up on alot of it, and I’m still learning more about the good and bad bits of the past everyday…. but it seems most people had grown up a little and moved on to just having fun with this great hobby, and its great community which I’m happy to be a part of.
Thank you to the many talented people out there.
It really sucks having to be posted to places where arcade games and pinball don’t exist. (I became a tech for the Canadian military 6 years ago) You guys help to keep my youth alive!
