Hi,

I propose that instead of crying we spin-off ...


- Domain cost: 25 euros/year
- Server cost: VLE-16 43,79 € inkl. MwSt./Monat (https://www.ovhcloud.com/de/vps/compare/) <= 600 euros/year
- Software: linux + phpBB

It would mean that we will need to set a legal framework.
I propose that ...

Welcome to the DT series finale. It's going to suck.

Thanks, webwit, for selling us out so we could end up in this situation. I hope the money was worth losing everyone's respect. Special shout out to Pablo for being so forthright about this sale, which apparently happened months ago; I can't tell ...

Clearly you're the man to run this forum though, fully funded by your plebs of course with you as the sole owner and any profits going in to your pockets alone!


There are no profits to be had when one runs this forum. It might give you a warm and fuzzy feeling (kind of like when peeing in ...

Gosh, I guess we've been collectively hallucinating those nginx errors.

tl;dr

I disagree with the posts above based on my experience with ellipse, and I don’t think he has any bad intentions. I trust he wants to keep the site as-is. I think he’s truly passionate about vintage IBM keyboards and I’m glad he’s producing them. I think debating about what his intentions are ...

I would be happy to coordinate a group buy for the site (I have coordinated some group buys before!).


I don't think it's worth buying DT off of OneCommerce, but if people really want it to happen via GB, you should really not be the one running it. It's an obvious conflict of interest ...

Are there any admins checking [email protected] since keyboardjoy was reassigned to selling period underpants?

... I moderate the DT discord ...


:lol:


The context you left out is that it establishes why this is a separate account with a relatively new creation date. It reduces confusion for people who may know me under this alias there. It's not bragging that I do that moderation. That would be ...

Wow, you registered after DT was sold and your whole contribution to DT in the two years since then is 3 posts in other threads and 9 posts in this one. That's what I call real commitment.


[…] Now perhaps we should start a constructive ...

So I've decided to look for a new owner, to do a better job , and matt3o is also helping, and for his efforts will get part of the proceeds. The good news is, we're really looking for a good new owner, and are not desperate to sell to less respected parties because we quickly need money or ...

It's as likely to fall of the earth like when you're selling a house and then decide what the hell I'll just demolish it. It doesn't make any sense.

Whatever you think of OneCommerce they never did any evil to Deskthority and are looking for a good buyer instead of tossing it.


I'm sure they're ...

the keyboard is mine now, who I bought it from is not your problem, if you are envious that I paid 20 euros for it it is your problem. I'll sell it for what I decide, and then 190 euros is also a low price if you're an expert in keyboards because if you think that 190 euros is a high price then ...

You've got this backwards. The entitlement is in thinking everyone owes you respect.

I guess one particular reason for feeling disgusted, is that the sale happened, because the active community had value, OneCommerce said as much on their website. It didn't get bought for the domain name, brand, trademark, existing links pointing back to the website, which are all fair game to ...

You sound very entitled for someone who joined in 2021. DT was community owned, I put 10 years in it, but almost no one gave a fuck to help out and those who did all ran off ghosting me. Except matt3o. After that, no one helped matt3o out. I only care about his opinion regarding this sale. If you ...

This is a silly conversation. First people worry Deskthority might be shut down. Yeah right according to the same principle I guess when you lose interest in a keyboard, you don't pass it on for value but destroy it and trash it. Why? Then people complain about boilerplate terms and conditions ...

Well I can say wiki and user content was included, it was communicated before. I don't know what happens if a future owner would toss that away. For sure with wiki content if someone would change the license, whether they legally could or not, you can still copy and use the content under the old ...

At minimum I recommend joining the DT Discord and/or Telegram. Those aren't going anywhere anytime soon.

And they wouldn't do silly stuff like place lots of trackers or ads or disrupt the community otherwise, which they indeed didn't. Most probably by their inactivity, but hey it's something.


Does that same contract term preclude their ability to simply sell it off to someone else who won't honor ...

OP should clarify what profile this GB is for. They repeatedly say it's cubic, and that's a different profile than TI series, yet there are pictures of TI series being shown and they say "the BAE is the same as the one currently being sold on the website", but the one currently listed is TI series ...

please don't endorse this silent auction garbage. post your offers in the thread, not in PMs.

that is, unless you want to bid against yourself.


Along with that, I would recommend not trusting any alleged offer cited in the original post that cannot be traced back to a comment directly on this ...
