I communicate on what I am doing and involved here. Is that not what we are here for? Am I wrong?

Lew, bro, you're my hero. I put some crazy bid on a bunch of plug and play joysticks because of your inspiration. Unfortunately, someone was crazier. It was gonna be great but I lost my balls at $200.

Sure let’s be respectful to others about our dislikes, I myself have walked the line by calling people foolish for committing to these (I mean, buying a whole pallet of these and breaking even was fool-hearty, no?), but I don’t condone Jen’s dive off the deepend with her toilet jokes.

The pallet I bought was foolish for me, not because it was A1UP machines, it was because it was too much for me to spend. I came out $50 ahead, 2 Arcade1up machines, and a $200 bluetooth speaker. I would call that a not worthwhile venture, and I'm glad we can all poke some fun at it, but I suspect some folks would see that as totally worth their time. It could have been arcade boards, or WICO joysticks, or whatever. It still would have been just as foolish of a move for me to do.

I assume you don’t mean to do that, and I assume you want the discussion to be respectful. So let’s continue to have all points of view present.

Clearly the way some views are being presented are not coming across in a respectable manner. This thread is evidence of that. It's simple, we've lost some civility. Calling another persons purchase garbage, trash can, and urinal is, well, it's kinda funny, but it's not something I want to be a part of, nor should it be condoned. Geez man, I've said it before, and I'm totally being serious. I hate that it looks like I'm super pro Arcade1up. I'm not.
Maybe I'll just go back to ignoring it. You know what, that's what I'm going to do. It's not a rage quit. It's a calculated move to recoup my time. Some aspects of this conversation have been interesting, but lots of it just got nasty and put me in a place I don't want to be.

Don't quite the internet man, The toilet thing, Yes not my finest hour, And I did apologize....That and we may need you around here answering questions, Because I certainly aint welcome wagon material when it comes to your A/1/U cabs. ::)

I'm all about the plug-n-plays. I usually pay about a quarter for them though..... they don't exactly retain their value.

I can't find them anywhere.
