Your opinion please.

I have had several request from interested people (apparently those that don’t hack forums) asking for an occasional updated picture of the BBB games progress.

I realize that we hold these pictures dear but would anyone object if an occasional picture was posted on the IPB websight?

If you do, nothing will be posted . This is a group effort and I will honor that.

All pictures would be posted to this forum first so ya'll can have a chance at the best…….. wood.

Having said that it made me wonder are there like BBB pinup pictures at your houses? Twisted Evil

Very interesting!!

Oh yeah prep work has begun on my guinea pig machine (GPM) simple stuff, trying things for size and accuracy (speakers, grounding strap…) do you want pics or is this to mundane?

For my computer buds this was done in word and copied, cut and pasted to the forum. You guys are good.

Thanks

Please post away. I doubt there is anything too mundane for us to look at...

Mundane...??? What possibly could be mundane about speakers and ground straps? As far as the pin-ups, I do have a copy of one of Stan Fukuoka's BBB concept prints hanging here in my office. Shocked

Part of me wants to be like the soup nazi and say "No BBB photos for you" Evil or Very Mad

But in reality I don't care. I say post away with the photos.

I have no problems with pics on the IPB website. It's really good for everyone.

good for IPB because you guys are kicking arse, and people get to see that you can handle the difficult task of manufacturing machines. I would think this would help translate into more pre-order sales of other products.

good for us because we believed in you when others didn't and we get to own BBB when all they get are some pictures. Wink

also I honestly don't care if we get to see the pictures first, but keep the pictures coming of grounding straps, speakers, and all the mundane stuff, I love it!

Unless of course it keeps you from building machines Wink

If I can pull it off would you like to have the pic off the old forum on here
or does it matter since you have already seen them.
Here is the ethical question; since we didn't own the forum that they were posted on, but they are pictures of our machine and they are on our computer and at least some of them were taken during work hours is it wrong for me to post them or is that considered hacking and is it possible to "hack" your own computer?
You guys are the experts

Hey Kim,

I'll go along with what others have said. No pics or info is too mundane. Post away. Anything you give us is considered foreplay, culminating in the ultimate BBB pingasm!! AND WE'VE BEEN WAITING A LONG TIME.

As for posting pics on your website, just make sure they look good. You know that any pic you post is going to be gone over with a fine toothed comb. I see no reason why others shouldn't be aware of the progress you're making. I know if I were Gene, I'd be quite proud of what I've done so far. Post away.

Makes no difference to me if you post old pics from the old forum. If you could, I guess that would be nice, but when it comes to ethics.....don't ask me cause I have none.

Witch,
I say go for it on the IPB site. I would still like them here also, preferably first but that's not even a big deal. The pix will fire up RGP some! Stick, hornet's nest, whack, whack, whack.

I downloaded most of the old pictures off the old forum anyway. If anyone wants them, let me know.

I too am fine with the public posting of select photos, to help showcase that good progress is being made and how good the quality is. A 1 -2 day delay in making any pics public would be nice. This is IPB / PMI's biggest best thing to date and you should be proud to showcase it.

It would be very nice to have access to as much as possible from the prior two forums - pictures and posts.

As for posting pics from the old forum, just say the word Kim and I'll unlock them all. They're already stored within this forum... Very Happy

As for new pics, as said by others, nothing is too mundane and *any* picture is appreciated when time allows.

If you want to post pictures on the IPB website, I don't care one way or the other. Not sure what purpose it serves for "outsiders" though.

And I have the first 8 or so Trivia contests archived and have been slowly adding them to this forum. Hopefully Steve (pinsane) has the remainder archived somewhere and will be able to repost them here some day.

My vote is for posting some of the pictures and see what the reaction is. If the bashing starts again, stop and pull those back off the site.

As for the mundane ones. Any pictures are good. Also items in the background of some of the pictures are interesting too.

Again thanks to everyone involved in this project.

I think you should definitely post some of the more illustrative BBB pictures on the IPB Web site. As far as bashing goes, who the heck cares what some group of losers on r.g.p (or any other forum) thinks? Quite frankly, Kim, whatever you do, some bozo (or collection of bozos) will find fault with it. Just ignore them - which I know is hard when the bashing degenerates into attacks on you or your family - and know that lots of people really do like to see positive information. I suspect there are a LOT of silent readers on r.g.p who would really like to know about the BBB project, but won't speak out against the idiosts who start the flame fests simply for fear of becoming a target themselves.

Putting some of those BBB playfield pictures up along with your Funhouse playfield pre-order info should go a LONG way toward helping people realize that folks at IPB really can deliver quality work.

Kim
yes post away
they belong to you guys

and if that other forum starts bitching don't add any more

anyway for us here its more the verbal/ written updates that are most important,
the pic's are only really good visual aids for the updates

so yes its about time you (IPB) start to show off a little
it always pays to advertise your wares
