Can We Talk About "The War of the Visual Pinball Websites"?

<< < (4/9) > >>

Itchigo:
It's not just cabs, it's supposed to be everything under one roof. It's possible that Dazz was working on it when you tried to register too Falalos. I don't run that place, Dazz does. It's possible he was working on it when you were registering too.

I didn't follow the sites/forum news the last months well, I was only overflying the
pinball news without to log in all few days or once a week, so I didn't notice what's
happening behind. And I also didn't visit the chat.

When I thought it's time to contact some friends from the different places again just
for some fun talk last or two weeks ago, I found out that nearly everything has
changed. I didn't bookmark all links and I wasn't able to find some places anymore
and some known places were deserted, quit or suddenly password protected or what
else. Several new sites/forums/chats, but apparently no or only single members present.

I'm still confused about all that as I don't have that much time to read, translate and
even understand what others posted.

Since when and where exactly and between whom is there a war? Why? What's the reason
I don't manage to meet the people I wanted to meet again anymore? Where are they? They
don't seem to be anywhere, although I thought they weren't involved much. Who can explain
the situation, which I seem to dislike, in some few easy words? As long as I don't understand
all the controversy I prefer to be around at YOGI'S CORNER and around, where I still feel home
mostly. I can't visit and manage several sites/forums/chats in my small free time.

Itchigo:
Glad to see you back Yogi! I understand about not being able to be everywhere. We started out slow due to site problems and my friend Pintrepid having limited time and my inability to fix things on my own. I know it hurt us and it's why we're slow. This place is to me what Yogi's Corner is to you, my home. I could care less about the war anymore. I support Dazz's new site because of all the community input going into it. Chat has moved by the way, the Big Bang Bar is no longer there. It is now at: http://vpuniverse.com/forums/index.php
But, I think you can log in as a guest without an account. At least for now. Good to see you again my friend.

Hi Tim,
thanks for your reply, even if it doesn't answer my questions. As I said I try to be around even if I'm in background
and I am still around (some). I don't tend to support personal animosity. I just look for some friendly talk about things
in life, also pinball, but not exclusively, as long as I'm able to translate and to take part in the discussion. If posts seem
to be too complicate to understand I tend to keep out. Several formerly friends seem to be gone finally. Where are they,
why did they leave, what happened? I know it probably can't be posted here, but there's e-mail and pm too. Please let
me know your view. I'm sorry that I actually don't feel that I will be a permanent user of this forum, but who knows,
maybe some further insight will let me think different anyway? However, don't worry, I'm well-disposed to whatever
this leads to.
Greetings, yogi

I'm not quite sure what you mean Yogi, but I'll try to answer as best I can.I'm not worried about the war anymore, I'm doing my own thing, with friends, as I had planned to do from the start. If someone thinks I am doing this for other reasons, I don't care as it was not the intention when I started this place.

There are several people who haven't been here in a while. Most of them have gone to Dazz's site and are helping him out. Dazz has the experience and knowledge I don't so he has much more to offer. Not that it's a competition- it's not. He has the capability/want to have a much bigger site than I do. I want to be a smaller, closer community. Not like vpf where there are 50,000 members and 2% post anything at all. I'd rather have less, more active members, than many inactive ones. Specificlly I'm not sure who you mean.

If you're not here every day or everyother day, it's no problem. Pop in whenever you can. I'll always be happy to see you. :)

(We are working on getting the gallery up, but I have limited skills with this site. While I am learning php, it's taking a bit longer than vb).
