Thought it might be worth posting a topic new users can reply to so we can see where referals to the Jamma+ community are coming from.
 
My story:
 
I found this site on the Retrogamer forum - I had seen a youtube video about Arcade and Storage auctions in the US so did a google search to see if we had anything similar. "Arcade Auction UK" led me to:
 
 
From there DonkeySpank, Shadowman and Levon2807 all recommended this as the best Arcade hub for the UK and here I am!

Google sent me here, I bought a wrestlefest pcb on feebay many moons ago, I was getting a supergun and googled Jamma, and all paths led here.   Before the supergun even arrived, I had bought a load more pcbs and a cab LOL

I heard talk of the mysterious J+ forum on some other boards and a quick google later I was here at the fountain of knowledge.

'forcefulfil'  talked about JAMMA+ when he visited me to buy old invaders some years ago.. then the more and more members i encountered selling on ebay, especially as i was 'sinfully' burning hundreds of various arcade  machines at that time.......i eventually decided , to read what was actually being written about me on here.which meant joining the forum........ it wasn't so bad and i can take the odd 'critic' comment with the many praises so ..........
 
now  i feel quite at home here and with over 30 years experience in amusements , glad to help out if i can with a bit of tech talk and supply of odd parts, when i see a deserving case........ (all the users seem like friendly people and all with a fairly common interest) and i too learn a lot i didnt know......all good fun in the end !!!!!!!!! just stay safe while playing
all that glitters is not gold but may just be junk
but my junk is like gold to me and there is loads
of good old stuff in among it xx 69er xx

I had surfed right on in and joined. I had previously known of KLOV and BYOAC, but I needed to belong to someplace that oozed class. Thanks, google.

dsyde! I was looking into the Electrocoin Goliath cab I'd bought off eBay, found http://www.electrocoin.uk.com/ and emailed them. Got a response simply saying "are you on JAMMA+ forum? The people there might be able to help you". I thought it an odd response as I was emailing an electrocoin specialist about an electrocoin and he sends me the way of a forum Confused. But now it makes sooooo much sense. Good call dsyde Thumbs Up.
Put that in your PCB test rig and smoke it!

I joined 7 years ago so it is hard to remember LOL

I knew many of the founding members from ebay/other forums/ real life, so I guess one of them must have told me about it LOL

Errgh, I almost forgot about that kitchen ceiling catastrophe.

Nothing like being woken up to the sound of a ceiling crashing down in your kitchen and smashing all your cups/plates and pans and cutlery flying everywhere.

That was on the morning of Charakade I think

I'd priginally heard of J+ through BYOAC. That's the main site I frequent because I'm mainly into building my own Mame projects. Of course I still love the original stuff (it's what I grew up on after all) but I'm not into the collecting side of things. I simply don't have the room for full size cabinets.

From BYOAC I learned of J+ and KLOV but I only joined J+ as a poster last year after the R3play event. I saw the great turnout and I spoke to one or two of you guys. The fact that it's mainly UK based makes it a no-brainer really (BYOAC is mainly US based) as it means there's much more likely to be an event going on that I can attend. I've seen you had events in the past in Wakefield and Huddersfield that I could bring stuff to (I'm in Leeds) so I'm a bit annoyed with myself that I missed those. I would deffo have attended had I seen they were on.

It was either google or neo-geo.com for me. Either way, it was a good call. LOL

I'd decided to expand my retro collection to include an arcade machine having always wanted one.  I was ploughing through eBay and google gathering prices and info when I stumbled onto J+.  That was back in 2005!

6 years! :O

I was googling the difference between JAMMA and JAMMA+ and no matter what I searched for I kept ending up here. Eventually, I just gave up and stayed.
