deskthority

Nonono, UR DUIN IT RONG.
Wasn't a prank, it was a way to lengthen the attention span of the youngster that would otherwise never be able to grasp the importance of ergonomics.

I was wrong. He used the profits to buy a flash drive.

Wait.

He didn't think it funny when I asked for 1% of Vigilink revenues. Could have gotten a... a... I dunno, a Lego Minifig?

Meanwhile the place is being run like it's McAfee/Intel.

I think the Off Topic Moderator Demik got fired.

Lol.

Can someone with an account at Geekhack please tell those morons that of COURSE you can make a Center Stemmed CapsLock key.

But it's HARD. And Signature Plastics and Melissa don't do hard stuff.

It was also covered in the GLWIC Post but Group Buy leaders always got pissed when posted that. Yes the truth hurts but fucking up with other peoples money is worse.

What's ironic is I bought one of those. I figured What The Hell?, Lessee What Happens.

I have an account. I don't use it but I did log in the other day to check a message I got a while back.

Why did you get banned this time? Is it for ever?

Stevie Wonder and I are STILL having login issues otherwise I'd post it myself.

Win friends and influence people.

Friend? Over there they just want your money!

They GOTS my money! $60 in donation over the years!

I should open a paypal dispute.

Just a difference of opinion, and his suggestions didn't go down well.

Oh wait, I almost forgot... there may have been another wee faux pas, hardly worth mentioning.

Is it a permaban then?

Apparently so... it would be fitting; an eye for an eye...

At least iMav had the good grace to leave his content mostly intact

Permaban and my wikis/modifications/reviews/subforum guides/TILs content locked, stolen, image blocked, and will eventually be open to Soarer for raping!

Other than that it's a typical ban.

I think I better confine my whining to this thread.

It's been a fucking two weeks and I'm starting to enjoy the whining more than creating NEW content!

You'll always be King of the Keyboards, ripster.

I bow down to your Legos having naughty keyboard sex. Sad face.

Long time no see Deverica Wolf!

This thread is like oldtimers gathering at the wake. The Irish are under the casket.


Anyhoo UPVOTE me at Reddit and DOWNVOTE KL for the lulz.

Another day, ANOTHER Ripster poll at Geekhack deleted out of spite! The "Is brother Ripster the Most Benevolent Geekhacker Poll".

http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?2915 ... Geekhacker

Namaste my brother!



Wikis still securely locked down at Fort iMav too.

I think I am recovering from this whole permabanned thing quite well.

I never did understand this meme. Apparently that is supposed to connote condescention. Fortunately, I'm not feeling hypersensitive, so it rolls off my back like water on a webwit.

ripster wrote:Well, NOT Feedback/Suggestions.

I would guess Off Topic when Demik is not on duty.

iMav deleted most of the posts in this one.
http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?3197 ... t-happened

Yep, and that is a perfect summation of why I don't bother with geekhack anymore. Not only did they delete the actual pointers to find ripster elsewhere, but they condescendingly CLOSED *my* thread in their Neu Procrustean Way. That place only got worse in my absence. So be it. I learned what I needed to.

I am sad that all of the subfora have been sanitized or removed. My favorite places were iPad Tips, Word of the Day, TILT, Food and Wine, and brother ripster's random meme of the day, especially the Brother and Dude stuff. Can we have a thread here devoted primarily to those topics?

Well you're probably blacklisted from all group buys, so what do you have to lose!

That's OK, I do that stuff at Reddit now. I'd do it here but that would be spamming and I hate blogs.

How are those Wiki edits going????

And in the Feedback/Suggestions subforum YOU are sure kissing iMav's butt!

Anyway I paid for the MoogleKit3 and Pi/Hammer&Sickle flag so they BETTER ship it to me. The Pi key WAS my idea after all. Even the FONT!

And 7bit STILL owes me fixed LOD/Smiley keys!

Soarer wrote:Well you're probably blacklisted from all group buys, so what do you have to lose!

All important group buys also happen at Deskthority, so no real loss.

The only reason why I still post on GeekHack is because I can trick there more people to buy my overpriced, low quality key caps.

You forgot the long delayed part.

And since Captain LIKES lego pics.

Is 'important' the German translation of 'never-ending'?

I still want my replacement spacebars and caps locks etc from round 3!!

Got THAT right!

captain, please.

I am not at all sure what is going on there, but I cannot stop laughing.

Oh wait, I almost forgot... there may have been another wee faux pas

Ah ha! Thanks for that. It really isn't very Christian, or Buddhist, or even Right. Wow. Just wow... stunned silence.

...and I think that Soarer was referring to some comments by that 6th Grade gang, lead by one of iMav's babysitters, that threatened to boot me out of the Phantom GB and blacklist me from their GBs, like they are the only ones who run GBs. I wrote my piece, and let it drop, so I assumed that they had moved on to bully someone else, but who knows... I still haven't received my Phantom stuff, nor a refund. Last I checked though, fraud was a criminal offense, so I expect they'll do the right thing eventually.

Sorry...

captain.

Hah, I remember getting smeared for defending you against those GH Moderator pussies.
http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?3124 ... ck-Members

Meanwhile in GB4.

Indeed I was. I did not like their attitude at all. That thread went downhill fast!

cap'n, since I've got nothing better to do anyhow:
KYM,
some evidence of positive use ,
and the obligatory explanation of the other half, seeing how the capitalisation is not part of the meme:

In other words a typical internet response, devoid of any true meaning or precision.

QFT

This

lol

Smiley Face

Meanwhile at GH all my fucking attachments in my Ripster Subforum remain blocked. THAT really helps improve GH content, iMav.

Says the original poster of said response...
LOL

I was only making sure that the offense he did take away from your post but decided not to be actively offended by, was mitigated since it didn't seem to me to originally be implied.

Nice. I hadn't seen that thread. Thanks!

For the record, Biniaris and litster got a stick up their collective butt, and decided to take it out on me (It seems there were a few other hotheads around too, but at least one of them made nice with me and we even did a GB transaction together). The best I can tell from litster's posturing is that he took GREAT OFFENSE at my contention in a couple of totally unrelated threads that ~ and \ should be colored to match all the other keys which surround the alphanumeric and symbol keys; then they both took GREAT OFFENSE that I kept adding to my Phantom order rather than just placing one order and shutting the fuck up (meanwhile, they double billed me and were brusque about THEIR error, never apologizing or even admitting error); then they both took GREAT OFFENSE to my tongue in cheek comment "have we been robbed?! " in a thread where someone else was repeatedly asking, without any response, for assurance that the boys were going to fulfill some promise or other pertaining to another sale. Soarer pointed out to them that they totally overreacted, but to no avail. As soon as they leapt to the keyboard to respond to my comment (despite not having responded to the poor guy who had been PMing and posting fruitlessly) I apologized for my phraseology, deleted my original "have we been robbed?! " post, but they were pit bulls at a shark frenzy--mix that metaphor and drink it! ;-P

But, whatever guys... that was another time, another place. The captain abides. Now, let's go bowling.




To be fair, he was responding to my Stevie Wonder song, "I Never Dreamed You'd Leave in Summer," link, and he EMPHASIZED:

"I SEE what you did there"

It was funny, but the meme aspect was lost on me. I *assume* that the double entendre of Stevie Wonder (ripster's other moniker at geekhack) singing "I never dreamed you'd leave in summer," (2012 summer being the time ripster was kicked out of geekhack) wasn't SO obtuse that y'all didn't get it.
