"Owning a PVM is a bit like owning a vintage Ferrari; when running properly they're about as good as it gets, but when something goes wrong you better have some skill or know someone else who can work on them or you're in for a rough time." - r/crtgaming

After trying many different methods over the years for handling a waitlist I've decided on a Google Form. This waitlist form is
limited to 15 slots at a time. Once it fills up, it will close until space is available. This ensures that the waitlist does not become a mile long and attempts to prevent excessive wait times. I will try to post on my
Twitter any time the waitlist reopens, otherwise when its full your best bet is to just check here/there monthly.
