Not only is it completely unfair to judge someone based on the amount of times they have posted in this forum, it is just plain stupid. Based on that logic, some zitty faced 15 year old punk ass kid would rule the world cause all he does all day is surf the net (No offense intended if you are a zitty faced 15 year old punk ass kid).

  Also, how many expert MAME builders do you think are out there that aren't members here?  Probably very few.

I have been building for almost 2 years before I made a post here

Santoro:

I always get in trouble when I make a statement that is intended to be general.  I said few, not none, right?  Any how long were you reading before you registered?

Anyway I didn't mean it to mean that it was a hard and fast rule, but rather a good guideline.  Especially on the internet, you need some indication of someone's credibility.  It has worked well for me.  Others will disagree. That's OK.

More to the point....how long was I registered before posting

I registered and never got the email confirmation....I found it in my junk folder like 4 months later.

But, I think I read for about a year before I registered

Crowquill:

I personally think this is a good reflection of how things go on these boards. btp2k2 made a harsh statement, reactions were probably harsher than they should have been, but everyone's friends in the end. I can definitely sympathize with working night shift. That throws your whole life into chaos.

I rarely pay attention to the post count. You can usually tell pretty quickly if someone is talking out of their ass or throwing out opinions with no fact to back it up.

According to my info I joined in nov of '04, but I first started building a panel in 2000. I finally posted pictures of my "coinslot illuminated pushbutton" from that first panel a couple months ago. I was going to post pics of it when I first joined but was intimidated that what I thought was novel had been done a million times before and I just hadn't seen it yet. Judging by reactions to Randy's product announcement it hadn't. I guess the moral of this long-winded story is that newbs can contribute too.


Crowquill:

Oh, I'd also like to contribute pet peeve number...I think we're up to 13:  Excessive admin buttons

Each player does not need their own pause button. And once your cab is configured, how often do you really need to press TAB?

I understand why people have admin buttons, but just like everything else it can snowball out of control. I prefer to not have admin buttons and use button combinations. If strangers visit my house they can read the posted instruction card.
