There you go... this thread in the forums is for all the bitching and moaning you want to do on whatever related to the sale of the 4 import machines.

Go crazy.

But word of advice... once you are done, it will most probably be the last we hear of that seller. Come on... we are better than that. Now I am off to cancel 4 memberships due to the content in the previous thread, and do some damage control.

Have a nice day. I know I am not.

I have decided to respond to the multiple PMs here...

Greetings to all,

Unfortunately, due to software limitations (and I must admit ignorance of my part, being very limited in my software knowledge), we cannot move a thread, and even less some content within a thread. And having 4 membership cancellations due to "unfortunate" comments done in a gratuitous fashion with a thread getting out of hand, I have opted to delete the entire content of the thread save the ad itself. A thread is now open in the forums section in order to permit any and all to post their opinions as we at MAACA have always permitted to do. I am proud and not-so-proud to say that this is only the third instance of post-deleting that I have had to do in over 4 years (tomorrow actually makes it 4 years) and I am fully prepared to accept any and all of the consequences. I want to express my most sincerest apologies to all of you for what has happened here and also for what has resulted. I sincerely hope that this has not hindered your appreciation of our website and that you continue to enjoy all of it's benefits.

Thanks you and good day to you all.

Ian L. Fitzpatrick

MAACA President

You don't have to quit because people nag you or say your an idiot it not the complete group but a few apples and people leave wow.

Sounds good...contact me from here forward at jvegas@yahoo.com   take care..JIM

Well in a sense of fairness, to those who haven't followed the story so far, here is the last page of the thread, before being sent to the cyber trash.

Read it, if you are curious about all the commotion.

Alternatively, ignore it, if you don't care.

Who quit?  I missed the thread.  

So, other than Jim, who's canceling their membership? I hope they reconsider, this place is still the best place to discuss and trade pinball (IMO).
Jim, please don't go, lots of people really appreciate what you've done for pinball in Canada and especially here in Ottawa. The two machines that I own I have bought from you, and am sad you're not importing machines anymore.

Nobody has quit yet. And I don't want to name anyone. I am working it out with them, so I am keeping it on a personal basis. I rather no one quit...
