3,000th Post - Or, What I've Been Wasting My Time On
« on: April 15, 2013, 01:27:18 pm »
Thanks for the 3000th post heads up, Neph and Cory.

Wow, that's a lot. When I joined here in 2010, I had a spare computer that I wanted to do something with. That's turned in to 2 MAME Cabs, a sitdown racer, a Tempest, an Asteroids, a roadtrip to California to get a Moon Patrol ('sup, Maxigriff?), a Megatouch, a change machine, and last night's newly completed project, a Centipede. When I told my wife I was going to build my first MAME cabinet, I offered to keep it out back on the patio. Now, the family room has become Starfighter Arcade (it's OK though- she has her dream living room).

Thanks, friends. It's been fun, and I look forward to more wacky hi-jinx.  :cheers:

Didn't realize I just hit the 3k club as well. No Smoking Jacket? Well, I'll just have to wear my own.

Raises the question- who has the most posts here? FrizzleFried? Saint?

It really wasn't that long ago that Paige had the lead but he stopped posting for a couple of years.

I'm sure in a year's time, Paige will be back near the top. Ain't no one catching Chad, except maybe for PL1.  >:D

If you take all factors into account, Ginsu Victim is second to Chad.

I had a spare computer that I wanted to do something with. That's turned in to 2 MAME Cabs, a sitdown racer, a Tempest, an Asteroids, a roadtrip to California to get a Moon Patrol ('sup, Maxigriff?), a Megatouch, a change machine, and last night's newly completed project, a Centipede.

Lol and you guys accuse me of scope creep  :laugh2:

Although yeah here's where I started out, "I'll just make one of these honey, about $500..."

Ginsu is almost the newest boy of the lot, and has more posts in that time than those who've been here three times as long.
