Hello iMage,
Hopefully you read the thread I make in regards to talkarcades, it's a shame but it is something I'll try to recover in future but for now, I felt a suitable forum should fill it's place as it's pointless getting the talkarcades site back only to have the same ownership problems while arcadesters.com will not have this issue and is something I put alot of time and effort into maintaining that would not repeat the mistakes talkarcades made.
Also welcome to Arcadesters.com glad to have someone like yourself return to the forum even if you aren't within the scene anyone is welcome here.
Regards,
Antz
