First off, Hoopz is right.
Nice to see a few old familiar names still here. And a few trolls still living out their bullying fantasies...
Seems we're having an influx of old members returning to the realm. Nice to see you here again, Hoopz.

Apparently I registered on the forums 14 years ago today. I had lurked for awhile but had to register so I could post in Ponyboy's thread to buy stuff.Haven't been active here for a couple years so I looked around a little. Nice to see a few old familiar names still here. And a few trolls still living out their bullying fantasies...I started on the arcade1up thread. I skipped pages 2-16 and noticed the bourbon posts on page 17. Some stuff never changes around here which is nice.Hope all you dorks are doing well and hitting daily high scores.
About the time I joined too. 14 years ago was a good era for the hobby.... Vendors and parts were established and cabinets were plenty and cheap. Just a ton of software and frontends being developed. On the flip side cabinets were still usually massive and not putting a trackball on your CP was pretty much unheard of.
Where'd the trackballs go? Four player CPs with trackball, spinner, Tron joy, dedicated 4 ways, etc are out now?
There are still people doing good work here. There isn't as much innovation because the hobby has matured. Over the years people have figured out what works and what doesn't.

Still a lot of amazing projects.Safe to assume the Arcade1Up has taken the place of the GGG/Ultimarc battles and pissy posts?

The angled joystick posts got kinda nasty. LCD transition was slow and painful.
I thought that got resolved a decade ago? It came back?
My job is about to end mid-May, so maybe I'll finally get to play more Black Ops 4 with ya.I'll have more free time.
