Yeah, that was educational. It was soon after I signed up here.
He was from NYC and was setting up a game-room. He wanted everyone to tell him how great he was for paying someone else to build his pedestal. It had angled joysticks, among other problems. He straight-up posted a "do you like this?" thread and then cried when everyone said no.
He also liked reminding everyone how rich he was.
...And then he did it all over again at KLOV. ???

Now he does it on Pinside.

A summary of the good advice from this thread:
1. If you are going to ask for feedback, be ready to have your build's flaws and problems pointed out to you. Roll with the punches. Understand that the experts are not easily impressed and their standards are higher than yours.
2. If you are posting feedback, be civil.
3. Don't hot-link images. Post them in the stickied "NOT A PROJECT..." thread, and then use that url to post in your own thread. That way your images are here for posterity after your geocities site goes down.
4. Don't hijack other people's build threads with your own images. If you want to reference another project in someone else's build thread, post a hyperlink.

Funny you mention Kaneda ... my post from his first grilling, coincidentally the last time I stopped in to post and said the same thing about change:

Bragging on aircraft carrier. Check.
Angled sticks. Check.
Strange button spacing. Check.
Assorted folks poking fun. Check.
Assorted folks saying "don't be mean". Check.
"It isn't worth my time do it, or any research, because I has teh greatz job, unlike you looserz". Check.
Xiaou being a critical ass ("I worked in an arcade, yo") and saying that everybody else is mean. Check.
Ark hating everything and everybody. Check.
Whoa ... wait ... pbj is back!?!?!?

Not all of these apply here, but certainly Xiaou2 is doing the same old thing and it seems perhaps that Ark has changed. ;)

Nice list, Token.
I would like to add the following. Maybe these are just "Just Me" things, but since BadMouth pointed out something he noticed, I'd like to point out some things I've noticed.
1. Don't start a Project Announcement Thread unless you have something done. Seems like we've been getting PA threads started as placeholders before anything has even been planned.
2. Keep your questions in your build thread. Some guy recently made a build thread... then made a monitor thread for the same build that wasn't even a technical question... then a joystick thread regarding the same build... then a control panel thread regarding the same build.... keep it all in one place and it's easier to follow along.
and
3. Please do some research before you start asking the obvious questions. Ark-ader brought it up the other day in another thread - it seems like recently there has been an influx of people wanted to be led through the process, step by step, hand held the whole way. Part of the fun for me was figuring stuff out. I was scared to death of wiring my own panel as was **this close** to buying a Tankstick. I was scared to death of CRT monitor as was **this close** to keeping things LCD. But by researching first, then trying what I found in my research, then asking questions if I needed to, I've gained a skillset that has helped me in many more ways than arcade collecting.
