I don't care about Eurocade, I don't care about any meetings, I am not interested in that. I have no interest in meeting people, and after all that crap going on here I feel asured about that.
Isn't it funny to read this and that comes from the same man who wrote this a couple of hours before:
I keep reading all the time about this super-duper "community", I can't see any of it right now.
Your contributions to this community have been........uhhh......mmmmm....selling and buying stuff.
Otherwise you never leave your house as you claimed yourself.
That's just fine, everybody lives his life as he wants, but don't start complaining about "community" if you do not even want to be part of it......and YET....you expect this same community to help you value your cab !!!
Now, I need to take a piss......
Very funny.
I am laughing my ass off.
Ok, just because I am not very active on this forum (for good reason) means I contribute nothing to the arcade community?
This is ridiculous and shows how narrow minded you are and that (again) you have no clue what you are talking about.
There is more than just this forum, this is not the center of the arcadeworld, I like to think in a more wider range.
-Over the years I have saved dozens of cabs and hundreds of PCBs from getting dumbed, I did not get them for free, I had to put good money in that plus it was a lot of work and took a lot of my spare time.
-Many, many of those cabs and boards went to other collectors who were happy about it.
-In the last 4(?) years I scanned a few thousand (!) pages of manuals, schematics, flyers, cleaned them up, made them into searchable pdfs, and uploaded them in various places for EVERYONE to use. I have still lots and lots to do, but I am starting to lose interest, guess why.
-On numerous ocassions I helped people identify PCBs just by photos
-I can't even count how often I went through boxes, cupboards, etc. to find a board, a spare part, whatever, in order to look something up for someone and/or snap a pic and upload it
-I work as an online database editor and manual editor for KLOV which is pretty tedious given the crappy system that it is built on
-I have contributed the ROMs from our ultra rare Loverboy PCB for EVERYONE to "enjoy" in MAME.
Just because I don't play MrKnowItAll on here doesn't give you the right to blame me for not contributing to arcade community, so do me a favor and STOP!
