Sweet caps man!

This is incredibly depressing to me...

Thanks for the updates Ripster.

Exact same thing happened to me a few months ago and the same key ceased to function. Your best bet would be to order some new innards from Unicomp. They had me send mine in and charged me a repair fee of about $45.

I live stateside though, so for me it was probably considerably cheaper.

This is probably the first thing I've seen you post that I agree with.

Just put one through myself, though as Finn said, I doubt it matters.
There has to be a better way.

I say lottery, $50 a cap. One each.

Heh, sorry. That's just how I felt about it. Greentext has become another emoticon of the Internet.

I wont be happy till I get 3 clickclack key caps

You may not be happy then until you drop a few hundred in the classifieds.

Grrrrrrr...

Is this CC's site?

http://www.fxesc.com/

I'm guessing the site won't even be accessible until early tomorrow morning.

Nah, a part time job could cover the cost of one. How about $50? As for making them, I remember reading about dual shot injection process. It wasn't double shot, but something a little different. I'm sure the guy does it at a local shop somewhere. I bet a competing Skull keycap manufacturer would he...

That too.

At this rate, I'm starting to agree with raising the prices. What do you think the retail value of a ClickClack skull should be worth? I'd say about $75.

I think we should start a server fund.
We all pitch in to buy geekhack a nice 8-core server with 24 GB of ram and a serious raid array.

Poor iMav. He doesn't deserve the flak he gets for the site going down.

Though I wonder if the vBulletin system has something to do with why Geekhack goes down so easy.

I came to deskthority to see if anyone had won any. But this is a nice forum nonetheless. Very minimalistic and clean.

After it says: "Server is too busy at the moment.", is there any point in just letting the page keep loading, or should you just hit Esc and F5 again?

Hell, how is CC going to check his PMs with the site down like this?

So how does this happen, does someone DDoS the site except for themselves and thus take all the key caps?
