I'm sorry things came to this. In the beginning I sidn't believe it'd come to this. When I asked AJ, Black, and others for a few 'toys' from tables they worked on I wasn't denied them. I didn't think VPINMAME tables would be locked or that people would go this far...

I just honesty thought it'd be nice to allow homebrew authors the right to have their work supported 'as is' and wanted measures to protect that.

But in the long run we all got away from having fun with a cool pinball designer and now it's come to this.

I don't 'hate' anyone but I strongly disagree with what's going on and IMSHO leaving VPForums is the only way to let this thing get settled...

In the long run though there's going to have to be a limit of how much can be supported on a site and there are going to have to be guidelines, but we'll have to see where things end up...
