Membership is approaching 10 years - do I win a pencil?

[Monkeyboypaul]

Joined Pinball Info on 29th May 2013, so in another few months it will have been 10years - roughly a quarter of my life.

I've spent a relatively absurd amount of money on pinball stuff in that time. It's genuinely shameful.

In all seriousness though, it has been great fun and I've met some lovely people. Sadly my attempts at being a reasonably responsible father to young kids makes it impractical to get out and about more often, but that will change - maybe they'll come with me!

I sincerely hope this site continues for a good few more years... it has kept me sane and given me something to look forward to on many many occasions.

Will I get a 'been here too long' award, or a 'part of the furniture' certificate maybe? Or perhaps a free pencil, like in Viz?

"10"

Much respect!

 

[Monkeyboypaul]

still no pencil, but it looks like the badge idea has caught on.


Here’s hoping I don’t die before the 10yr badge kicks in!

You should have killed someone you would have been released sooner.

Strangely I had a 5 year badge email earlier? Been here longer than that!

 

[JustLikeMe]

I was just awarded both the five and the ten year badge at the same time...

 

[johnwhitfield]

I seem to have both badges being displayed at the same time

Also how come grizz only has a five year one. I thought we all came over from the yahoo group at the same time.

 

[Pudsey pinball]

Same here!

 

[johnwhitfield]

Poor Paul. He makes a tweak and we all pile in with questions .

Why are some displayed 5+10 and others 10+5?

Pretty certain I’ve still got boxes of unopened pinball parts that I bought before joining the forum. …

[johnwhitfield]

It should just display 10, and when you click on it, it should display both... or rather, thats where i'm trying to get to...

I feel like I've been here 10 years and so does my wallet! Congrats you veterans, its an honour to serve alongside you.

 

[Calimori]

[Toxteth O'Grady]

Is there a six year one?

 

[shaunyboy]

You and I are both approaching the 10 year mark, Kevin, so I suppose we'll only have the 5 year emblem for a while.

18th April; I got a notification yesterday afternoon, which I saw this morning

 

[Paul]

Glad i got it working properly last night... took a bit of playing... Developer saw my pain on the support site, dropped me a mail with the latest "beta" that should fix the issue and voilla!. There were a few confusing things as it has to be set up in a particular way, and the developer isnt english so the explanation in the software was unclear... however it sorted it.

Now to try to work out (or convince the developer) to build in something that i can use to do yearly "site supporter" badges too!!

For the 10 year vets ..
Leave your boots out and I’ll give them a polish, make them look like mirrors

 

[johnwhitfield]

Not sure about my boots but I could do with someone to come round and polish my balls

 

[Dex-Jay]

Wow, just been awarded my 5 years badge! I shall put it on the mantlepiece next to all my Facebook Jail medals.



I shall even try to make it to a pinball night a day this year!
