I like the white-minimalistic theme of deskthority although I hope someday this website gets a lot more traffic like of geekhack. I'm assuming the two can't just get along. One will have to die for the other to survive.
Which will it be?

Somehow, I think that DT and GH will coexist for some time.

I see this more like an european community, they will both survive, no reasons why they should not

Deskthority is better because it has more stylish avatars.
Waits for people with outrageous avatars to reply.

I wish the avatars where slightly bigger. Like 120x120. Mine isn't really that clear.

If it doesn't scale well perhaps try something else.

Someone put Charles Bronson's face onto that and I'll make it mine.
Liking here a lot due to the European focus.

I always look at things sideway by tilting my head left. So to me it looks like somebody's ass with an UP arrow.
Or "Crackup".
Such a serious forum.

Geekhack has an XSS attack with a Java/Windows Help center exploit at this time (both vulnerabilities are patched , but a lot of people don't update, and GH shouldn't have unauthorized 3rd party JS running), so I guess that gives an automatic point to Deskthority...

Better than OCN. Viruses you patch. Stupid is harder to fix.
I like the Avatar btw. I spit on Java exploits because I do, the Voodoo, That You Do, So Well.

Sorry, but I prefer it the other way round:
Make possible for almost everybody what could be made possible.
Reason: I cant expect too many people have my weird taste in how key caps should look like and what text should be on them.
Solution: Give other's weird tastes a chance.
Result: 52,000 key caps in less than 6 months!

It is 100% certain that 7bit will win, because 8bit will have compatibility issues!
Edit: Also, he contradicts himself, because he gives more choices than me!

Well, I FOR ONE found the subject fascinating.
Plus I'm pissed because that thread was a logical place to talk about what plastic the Cherry MX switch is made of.

At least he posted in the right forum (nobody at Deskthority owns a good Imperial ruler). I measured it but wasn't going to post it until I got some info out of him.
