i almost forgot IRC existed...

an analogy:

GH is to heroine as DT is to methadone

in these dark times, be glad DT is there and able to slowly bring you down as opposed to having to stop cold turkey

From the GH Facebook page:

Our 8+ year relationship with our datacenter provider was terminated today. When we have a plan, we'll let you know...

Not looking good...

man, i haven't posted here in forever...

with GH down, how else can i waste time at work? serious question...

Actually, I'm just a newbie here... I've been a Geekhack member since 2009. Hence the source of my opinions.

CLiB is abbreviated for Computer-Lab in Basement, in case you completely forgot about me after you left GH so long ago...

Oh really? Sorry about that... I'll fix it.

Fixed. Thanks, I never knew GH attachment links won't work here...

Yeah, I'm actually not Ripster... nice try though. Your obviously just as much of an ego-maniac as he was if your changing and locking other peoples posts just because they made you look bad...

13 posts about ripster and gh and calling me a liar and douche, eh? Hello ripster.
Abusing your power as an admin to edit my posts because you can't make your own legitimate arguments? Hmm, sounds like something Ripster would do...

ATTENTION ALL DESKTHORITY USERS: WEBIT IS A FUCKING PRICK.

I'm ...

I'm a cunt.

I use a lens from a old dvd writer. :D
Can you show me some of your macros ? :)
When I get home today I'll upload some of my real macro shots taken with my DSLR. They aren't amazing, but they're pretty good considering I was just using a reverse-lens mount with the kit lens...

Here is a sample ...

(For fuck's sake, he called himself the #1 Keyboard Expert.)

Actually, he was voted the #1 keyboard expert in a public poll on Geekhack. Many people called him that...

And it's not like we're talking about him behind his back - he can certainly read, and then go bawwwwww all over /r/Ripster ...

Why are we ripping on somebody that can't be here to defend himself? I mean, I understand he was being a massive douche and an ego-maniac, but he's not here anymore, so why are we still talking about it? I'm out... will not partake in this anymore.

edit: did anyone archive his old stuff?

No, they deleted all of his posts. There is no reference to him anywhere on Geekhack, except for a few people that have "R.I.P.ster" in their signatures...

I don't understand the big issue here. Does anyone give a shit about the First Amendment anymore ...

Not a bad macro shot coming from a cellphone camera... I actually turned my smartphone's camera into a macro camera by taking the lens out of a disposable camera and using it as a macro lens for my phone. Made some nice, detailed macros.

Good, if it were white I'd have to back out of this GB... (I hate white keyboards).

It says in the OP shipping is included...
