Oh, sorry guys, I haven't been on much since GH has been back up and I've been busy with life/Red Alert.

Yeah I could work with QWERKeys, but I just sent a PM reply to Dsjbirch who asked me about it and honestly I think he's the best candidate to run it. Companies generally get a bit sketchy if the ...

They're being produced now. I'll hopefully have some pictures for you this week, if not next week for sure, because they'll be arriving then!

Anyways buy them! I need to raise $$$!

Okay so between having bunch of unpaid orders and GeekHack being down for a month, I'm sitting on way too many keysets for my wallet to be comfortable with. As such, I'm doing a one time only discount on preorders all of the leftover sets I've purchased for this group buy. Instead of $80 per ...

Well whatever you decide, send me a PM, since I'll be pretty busy now that GH is back up.

Cheers,
Dave

I'm not sure where the current suggestions thread is, but I'd like an option where I'm still notified of new posts (similar to the usercp's bolded topics) but without the email notification. There doesn't seem to be an option I can find to have it notify but not email.

Lol, this makes me want to buy a poker, get the blue case, and compliment it with the blue on white PBT keys I'm about to run. XD

If possible, a newsletter to everyone with an account at GH, (Obviously 1 time only) would be cool to announce the site redesign and that it's back up. That should do the trick in keeping people from disappearing due to the reboot.

Rag, that's actually ... amazing. So they are cool with the "buy in beforehand" model, as opposed to "buy and resell"?
Seems that way, or at least I was able to put it in a way that Paypal has managed to understand. At this point all I do is tell them to look at my history of over 1000 ...

@Hashbaz, thanks for making the .svgs, I'm pretty busy getting ready for whenever GH gets back up. SP works better for me because I have a good working relationship with them and am comfortable with the process. Also I don't have to do it if you guys want to try qwerkeys. I don't mind stepping aside ...

Man I'm sorry you guys have so many problems with Paypal. They've basically been sucking my dick for the last 9 months rather than stomping on it. They upgraded me to a dedicated team with my own phone number to call and I had near $30k run through my account last month between the last round of ...

The key is that it has to be the right kind of image. I agree that most/all of those aren't ones I would want on my keyboard, but the concept is something I like. It needs something that isn't really strong and loud. Like you can see from some of those images what a workable image needs. I've been ...

Without quoting the appropriate posts above, my thoughts are:

@Sth: I'd totally be down to do a RF 10th anniversary scheme, I thought those looked sick and I'm pretty sure a lot of others do to. I really want to do other fonts, but its really difficult to please everyone, and a lot of the guys on ...

Rag, why not some colors that haven't been done a million times? Maybe different colored caps instead of white?
Dye subs on white come out much better if you're doing more colorful and complicated designs. That is why this set in particular is on white. :evilgeek: I'm certainly open to doing other ...

Can you run a set like this next, Rag? With the new Cherry legends:

http://deskthority.net/w/images/2/26/Olivetti_ds.jpg
I'm doing a blue on white set, red on white set, and purple on white set all in PBT but instead of grey mods there's going to be something else. :evilgeek:

Since its PBT we ...

why don't you let the people that have already purchased at the marked up prices buy at the group buy prices (you know, refund them the difference) and w/e is left over you sell at your marked up price?

pretty sure you'll get rid of those deadbeat orders a lot faster.

This will probably be the ...

If you could, I'd like it if you could post up that Red Alert is proceeding as planned with 0 delays, but there is still about $750 outstanding in my paypal account from people not having paid their invoices. Those people are:

M_Enanos
4en
BababooeyHTJ
Fstop
Monja
WorldExclusive (Is not obligated ...

If anyone would like their GB status posted on the current GH parking page, please LMK.

I'm just stopping by to let everyone know I'd be willing to run this if one of your more "DT based" guys isn't I was pointed here because I heard they needed someone with a good reputation to do it right, so here I am. I'd love to do both the black on white and white on black keys pictured below ...

That key is sexy. I would totally do it.

If you do, mad props.

I don't recall if it was posted in the old thread on GH, but Ragnorock was there any estimate from SP for when red alert keys would be in your hands?

On average it's about 4-5 weeks from when they receive the order and payment.
July 31st is their ship date ETA to me. Maybe sooner, maybe later ...

^ Turns up monitor's brightness and contrast so it causes eye strain. Complains about eye strain. :twisted:

Strangely never this discussion at facebook, google, reddit, cnn, bbc, etc.
Of those, reddit is the only one I'm willing to spend more than a few minutes at a time on, and their link fonts ...

yeah the replacement is for bad legends we know we can't fix the centre stem business, we were talking about centre stem to the whole keycap and Melissa was talking about centre stem on the available space
Yeah, that's really unfortunate after we went through so much discussion and organization to ...

As far as my input, if we can get a script like DT has where they cycle pictures submitted by the forum that'd be really cool. Its something I really like about DT over GH. Keep the logo, maybe refresh it, but add that sort of banner feature and I think it'd look pretty cool.

I like signatures as ...

I actually did send him a pm stating "I don't really care about the capslock issue, you can send me the set as-is". But I didn't get a response. I am not trying to make a big deal about it, but more communication (as displayed by many other GB coordinators) is appreciated.
I posted that I wasn't ...

Ragnarok, is the GB for red alerts still on?
As stated earlier, yes absolutely. The order was already submitted to SP and everything I need for running the group buy is backed up on my computers. Even if everything was completely gone from Geekhack, which it isn't, everything would proceed as ...

has there been a gb run buy changdrew that people have received their goods? :? Is he reputable?
I'm going to go ahead and vouch for Changdrew as I've had quite a bit of interaction with him through various group buys. As one of the main GB organizers over at GH, I know there are a lot of ...

Lol I didn't know you could do that, but it seems like a good compromise for you guys. 1 hour is a bit harsh, you could do half that and still have the same effect.

To be honest I've noticed more DT guys moaning about our presence than us complaining that it's down. Sorry we're such an inconvenience, but we'll be gone as soon as it comes back, or at least those that weren't here already. Till then, if you don't want to have a big flame war, be more inviting? I ...
