1 Introduction
There are various pinball communities across various platforms. Some are generalized, some focus on a particular geography, and some focus on a particular aspect of pinball. From repairing games, to buying/selling, to tournaments, to virtual pinball, and everything in between--if you like pinball, there's probably a community out there that covers it.
The lists below include a number of communities, but it is not an exhaustive list.
