Hey, if we all start thinking logically and start exercising caution we may as well just hang it up!

You are wise.
Pinball forum, pinball forum!!  ;D

I think there may be a growing interest in "other" types of arcade games.

Rather than strictly a pinball forum, it would be nice to see one dedicated to "non-video" arcade games.

Don't forget the links at the top ;)  Or are those only for  "tried and true" forums?

I thought you had lost it until I remembered the big list at the entrance.   :P

(BTW, thanks for the new addition!)

Thanks Saint to giving the forum a try

It'll fly better if we can find it :)

I only realized it was there because of a moved thread.  Then I couldn't find it later when I came back to my straight-to-the-main-forum bookmark.

Since Hall of Fame Nominations is a child forum now, maybe you could replace it in the listings with this new um... grown-up?.. forum.

I like it.

I second the vote to put it at the top as well.  It is a pain to find sometimes since I am to lazy to click on "Home" first... :)

I voted YEs, but I think a "Non-Video" arcade section with child forums such as SkeeBall, Air Hockey, Slot Machines, etc... would be nice instead of grouping everything into one forum.

I read that Saint added something somewhere, but I can not find the Pinball stuff for the life of me ..... where is it??????
