deskthority.net vs geekhack.org

I'm finding the moderators here a tad more lenient and less irritating.

Plus lately my Geekhack server access sucks.

02 Jun 2012, 18:13

It's a trap

02 Jun 2012, 18:14

Give it a few hours, hackers may be back mate.

02 Jun 2012, 18:29

I was considering starting a thread at [strike]Nazi Central[/strike] geekhack, and entitling it NICE PEOPLE ONLY, but then I realized the first comment would be a 12yo "mod" telling me that was OFF TOPIC for geekhack, and my thread would be CLOSED.

Really though, thanks 60% Purely to ripster, I know enough about keyboards now that I don't need to read any more about them. I'm only here for camaraderie, and hopes that someone will continue iPad Hints, TILT aka Thing I Learned Today, Typefaces, and Big Lebowski discussions. If I can't get my daily dose of those things, in a friendly, tolerant environment, then I guess it's time to slink back out to the 'net and find a more amenable place to share my random thoughts. ;-)

PS: is geekhack infested again? with criminal crackers, not the usual and condoned vermin...?

Read your post there. Sorry for hurting your feelings. I piss off a LOT of people on the Internet just by speaking the truth and asking others to do the same.

Sensitive moderators.

If you mention my name:

1. Moderators jump to attention.
2. KL jumps in with snarky comment.
3. Rest of the RipsterHaters jump in before..
3. Post closed!
4. Mods do selective cleanup to restore historical purity.

My HIDDEN keyboard forum is here.

Being Banned means my Subforum Banner telling them where I can be reached is gone so for the record it is (in alphabetical order because I remain Helvetica, Swiss, Neutral, a bit Staid):

Howdy brother ripster!

Thank you for the apology! As the yipsters are wont to respond in the parlance of our times: No worries. ;-)

I was hypersensitive, I'm sure. I can be quite arcane with my humor, and when the connection is missed, or I'm simply off base, I probably do appear to be quite random, and perhaps nonsensical. In the greater scheme, I appreciate being called out, and I appreciate others' opinions, although it is not always easy to put myself in the other person's shoes--I do try. Change is hard, but good. Remember the ziplock bag tv ad from the 1980s?

YouTube?

More later. I have to read my Josef Albers (obligatory Nazi reference. ;-)

and pick out some house colors for the shop.

Cheers y'all!

Uh oh!

IMav locking down the wikis fearful of little ol' me?

Now THAT is getting paranoid!

<copy here in case of deletion and for funny BO comment>

I asked iMav and he said that he was cleaning up member subrorums/etc, and deleted mine since it didn't appear I was using it. and assumed I wouldn't use it based on comments I made on Deskthority. He said he would reinstate my subforum. I don't know what I would have said on Deskthority that gave that impression. I said there and I did here, that my time is greatly decreased 1) because much of my Kinesis info is mostly wrapped up, and 2) I've got some life changes that occupy more time, and different mental focus.

So I'm not clear on everything else that happened, I know Ripster was banned, but I haven't read (and won't) all the threads/posts/misc. regarding the drama. It is what it is, we all make our own beds. Plus...see my explanation above about my time/focus. And, I have a stalker! (I feel 95% better after going to court though). The only thing I really don't like that has been happening is the deleting of posts/threads. Big turn off, like a girl with B.O.

I just want to continue to work on m Kinesis thingy.

And thanks you guys, a lot of very cool PMs have come my way. It's nice to feel the love XOXOXOXO

BACK TO KEYBOARDS!

Soarer:
Is GH being 'locked down" to prevent dissent/arguments/deletions/misc? I'm not very forum experienced.

Once again, ALL my content is backed up twice (at the Geekhack Ripster subforum and on my harddrive) and ALL MY CONTENT is available to anyone OPENLY. Just give attribution and don't remove the watermarks!

http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?2992 ... se-content

JEEZ, all this interForum fighting over a niche hobby is getting out OF CONTROL! Why don't WebWit and iMav smokeum peace pipe and host ONE WIKI!

Too much infighting. Two kindergartens fighting over 30 students.

You caught us. Deskthority is behind your permaban on gh and iMav's actions.

03 Jun 2012, 11:27

GH is for group buys, deskthority is for keyboard related discussion.

03 Jun 2012, 13:48

Morons....

Not only is GH a Soviet state the sheep have to talk along "party lines" when in iMav's SUBFORUM.
http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?3202 ... post606621

My wikis and SUBFORUM alway drove GH traffic.

No wonder iMav got pissed off that I dominated the site that I built with content and humor. I would have called it RipHack.

03 Jun 2012, 13:50

LOL. What you going on about now? KL's probably just trolling anyway.

03 Jun 2012, 13:51

KL is now iMavs bitch.

IMav is now KL's biggest fan.

THAT is how fucked up GH is right now.

Diphallia (I hang at Reddit a lot these days....).

Strange, a nobody like me got modded on GH. I was just about to explain what the asian baseball guy's t-shirt said (in one of your numerous posts) -- well here it is: "the ball is round and red~~~", oh well...

Never mind.

Pah, latecomer! You only became the dominant factor after some guy left two years ago when he found out about imav's true nature. Before the first gh troll poll, which inspired you, you were a choirboy. So the question is, why did you drive traffic for 2 years to a site owned by a guy you learned you don't like? Still slow to catch up on things. I can take this even further. :twisted:

You drove the exact kind of traffic which now comprises of gh's overclock nature, and created the moderation system which banned you. Oh, sweet Irony, thou art such a harsh mistress...

03 Jun 2012, 14:29

Yeah but EVERYBODY likes Darth Vader best.

Being open about GH moderation efforts drives iMav nuts.

I am 100% sure that is wrong. Left kanji looks like a simplified cursive of 薫, but I am not sure. Middle looks like holding. Right is tree.

Well, he IS holding a wooden bat...

BTW I figured out why some attachments in my SUBFORUM are borked. Since my account is deactivated those attachments also get deactivated.

Silly side effect of a silly ban.

But UPVOTE ME at Reddit - beating Webwit's Karma is my new life's goal.

To address the OP's concerns let me point out on my iPad I hit HOME three times to put it in "white on black" mode.

Works great!

Plus lately I have found my access to Geekhack sporadic at best and my content disappearing.
