I had hoped it meant "we are sold at last! maybe the new guy will be better…" But yeah, the cack-handed way it's been implemented just looks like a quick and dirty patch by someone who doesn't understand the (pretty basic) problem and certainly doesn't fancy actually talking to the community about i...

Integrity? Actually, I was just complaining about the bother. Hitting Submit and getting slapped with an Nginx 404 is quite unacceptable!

Re: Pruning of unlicensed pictures

My comment was about the state of DT's server, rather than your contribution. Editing the Wiki at all at the moment strikes me as perilous, the way the site goes down in the middle of simply writing posts and PMs. Deleting images in particular when the back-end is like this strikes me as eerily like...

OneCommerce overpaid badly. And as many have said: DT’s value has only gotten worse on their watch. At least they’re willing to take the hit, though. Much better to let it go than languish.

Unevenly yellowed, too. Shame. A third of that price and I’d consider it. ;) I’ve heard Omron switches can be “restored” by simply pressing them over and over until they come back to life a bit. They are notorious for their unreliability, but when they go bad it’s not quite as badly so as Alps. And ...

Re: IBM Model M BT-USB controller conversion kits

DT decided to restrict permissions to receive private messages for newly joined members. False. I'm a DT mod, and there is no such permission control in our interface. DT's admin, meanwhile, is notoriously MIA. What you're probably facing is Google blocking PM alert emails for DT users who use Gmai...

It's not intended as a wiki, nor a repository of stories. Most of the keyboards there don't have much of a story, but they are interesting to Cherry collectors nonetheless. Hell, even if they did all have stories - it's no small task to write 900+ stories. It is meant specifically to display unique...
