I also fall into the above category although I was always more of a lurker and occasional poster anyway.

I still love cards and make an occasional purchase but, for the last few years, I've concentrated on spending time with our two kids and making memories before they head into their college years. With my son starting his freshman year at Rutgers University, I am starting to poke around the forums a little more. Glad to see this one is still up and running even if it is hanging on.

Jay, if you are still posting here, what pinball machine did you buy (or are looking at buying)? I got bitten by the same bug a few years ago and purchased a Cyclone. It was my all time favorite in college with my favorite callout of all time... "Hey, you with the face!"... I purchased the machine back in 2012 and am still having fun playing it today.

p.s. - Quan, just read your post my friend. I am sad to hear that you are having health issues. I hope that maybe things have improved since your post.

Haven't bought one yet. Saving up for one of the next gen machines. I'm hoping they have a Star Wars one by the time I have enough money, otherwise I'll be happy with the Lord of the Rings one I saw this spring. Wouldn't mind getting an 8 Ball Delux and an old pitch-n-bat baseball game.

I hope we're not done here either. It has been a long time since I've posted and I've taken an extended hiatus from collecting - but I haven't forgotten about this forum and my good buddies here. I think this forum has a ton of potential still. With the direction net54 has taken in recent years, I think we can be the non-profit, modest alternative that the average collector can turn to. Maybe it's time to amp things back up?

The biggest thing is getting new people to participate and try to get the old-timers writing again.
