deskthority.net vs geekhack.org

I like the white-minimalistic theme of deskthority although I hope someday this website gets a lot more traffic like of geekhack. I'm assuming the two can't just get along. One will have to die for the other to survive.

Which will it be?

Somehow, I think that DT and GH will coexist for some time.

Deskthority is better because it has more stylish avatars.

Waits for people with outrageous avatars to reply.

I wish the avatars where slightly bigger. Like 120x120. Mine isn't really that clear.

If it doesn't scale well perhaps try something else.

I always look at things sideway by tilting my head left. So to me it looks like somebody's ass with an UP arrow.

Or "Crackup".

Such a serious forum.

Geekhack has an XSS attack with a Java/Windows Help center exploit at this time (both vulnerabilities are patched , but a lot of people don't update, and GH shouldn't have unauthorized 3rd party JS running), so I guess that gives an automatic point to Deskthority...

Better than OCN. Viruses you patch. Stupid is harder to fix.

I like the Avatar btw. I spit on Java exploits because I do, the Voodoo, That You Do, So Well.

If we'd of had a thread asking "We're thinking about making an order for a customised Deskthority keyboard. What would you like in a custom Deskthority keyboard" it would be 72 pages long and filled with pictures of japanese and korean women, over used memes and we'd never get anything done.

Sorry, but I prefer it the other way round:
Make possible for almost everybody what could be made possible.


Reason: I cant expect too many people have my weird taste in how key caps should look like and what text should be on them.

Solution: Give other's weird tastes a chance.

Result: 52,000 key caps in less than 6 months!

The per key speed of Round 3 is higher than Round 1!

Start: 15 Dec 2010
Start of production: 4 April 2011
Start of shipping: around 3rd to 4th week of May.

It is 100% certain that 7bit will win, because 8bit will have compatibility issues!

Edit: Also, he contradicts himself, because he gives more choices than me!

Well, I FOR ONE found the subject fascinating.

Plus I'm pissed because that thread was a logical place to talk about what plastic the Cherry MX switch is made of.

At least he posted in the right forum (nobody at Deskthority owns a good Imperial ruler). I measured it but wasn't going to post it until I got some info out of him.
