Hi everyone. I have been playing around with the new website today and I figured out how to add a forum to it. I love talking with and interacting with other pinball and arcade fans, but one of my problems with some of the online forums out there for the hobby has always been the high level of toxicity and trolling. I plan on keeping a close eye on things here to keep a high level of civility. I'm new to running a website, so I'm going to play around with this and see how it goes. The Wix forum software looks like it has a lot of cool features that I haven't seen on other sites, like built in GIFs and emojis and easy uploads for files. Here's one of the built in GIFs. If you're out there, drop a post in and say hello. See you around :)
I am new to the pinball community, but have played since I was around 4 years old. Gorgar beeing one of the first I played. Then after the mid 90's there was a dark age. Back then internet was no thing that could help with my pinball interest and beeing stuck in a town with around pop. 20,000.
But since a short time before covid came, I found via facebook, two places here in Gothenburg Sweden, and one in Borås not far away from Gothenburg. And there are more to visit in Sweden as well. Not arcades, more of secret clubs in strange places. =)
And why have i registered here? Because no one I have found updates as frequent. Pinball News and This Week in pinall are those I know of.
I do not own any pinball machines of my own.

Hi Swedish Pinball. Welcome! Interesting enough, I’m half Swedish :). It’s great that you’ve been able to find places to play pinball on location in Sweden. I’d love to go there some day. Thanks for joining. I’m not sure what’s going on with This Week In Pinball. They used to post very frequently, but they really haven’t done much in months. I love the pinball and arcade hobbies and try to share any interesting information that I come across. See you around :)
Jason, that is one reason I am here as well. Your site is constantly being updated with the latest pinball news. Plus you did a great job co-hosting The Pinball Show with Dennis a few weeks ago. Keep up the great work!
