I think we need a happy thread free from hate and anger what's happened around here. So no hating on people, or negative talk.

A couple months ago I traded a key with tsangan, mine reached him, but about a month later mine hadn't arrived (never did). Tsangan sent me another one though finally found it's way to me without me asking or anything. That's why (one of the reasons at least) he's awesome.

The other day jcrouse gave me a free clack, then he got mad.

tjcaustin · « **Reply #2 on:** Sun, 21 April 2013, 23:28:07 »

You're still here. (Is that negative or just neutral statement?)

I'll balance it with *TWO* positives.

esoomenona is a great moose that finally surpassed me in posts

CC is a brave man for doing what he does how he does it.

noisyturtle · « **Reply #3 on:** Sun, 21 April 2013, 23:28:51 »

I think everyone here is pretty awesome... welp almost everyone.

I think lots of people here are awesome.

Let me tell you guys a story about the DarkSide keycap from cc. I ordered one from him, he sent it but it's never reached me. So I pm'd him and he said to wait a few days so we both waited but still nothing. He sent another one right away after that just as he promised. Other people would probably just accuse me of keeping it and lying that I'd never received it but not cc.

After 3 weeks have passed, my neighbor in the next building came over and handed me a box. I knew right away what was inside. I contacted cc and sent the extra one back.

Long story short, cc is awesome but I'm sure you guys know that that already. lol

cc IS awesome. I would like to thank him for making my dream come true of completing the Trifecta of Deliciousness^TM.

KingKlaxon is a cool guy, and you should just offer some sacrifice.

Halverson is alright, for being an archenemy. I couldn't have picked a better one.

SF is a pretty good spammer.

So many people here are just great people. This is a good community.

That's true. This is by-far the best online community I've ever been part of.

esoomenona · « **Reply #11 on:** Sun, 21 April 2013, 23:38:02 »

Jocelyn is a great girl. She's really easy to talk to and always helpful.

Dubsgalore and CPTBadAss are a couple newer members who I've come to like.

Don't feel bad if I don't say your name. There are a number of great people here.

Here's what really happened. Tsangan didn't really send you the first time.

Good story reaper. I wish I could be a part of it.

MKULTRA · « **Reply #13 on:** Sun, 21 April 2013, 23:39:09 »

jdcarpe is awesome for answering my millions of questions about GH60

funkymeeba · « **Reply #14 on:** Sun, 21 April 2013, 23:39:49 »

I think CPTBadAss and SmallFry are awesome for really helping with my radio stream on Monday nights. They also give me good thoughts on my keycap projects! I like dimamantra for joining in on the discussion about traffic lights (you all just wait till I have everything finished! Including MIDI sync!). Matt3o and samwisekoi are awesome for the Retro DSA group buy. I can't wait for the Nuclear Data one!

I'd also like to thank all of you who do listen to my radio stream on Mondays. AKIMbO, dubsgalore, OrangeJewce, RougeR, brtaylor92, TAdams, eckse... You are all part of the reason my neighbors keep glaring at me while I drag six-packs home on Monday night.

I'd also like to thank iMav for this cool forum. I've done a lot more constructive things in the last year, largely because of Geekhack.

esoomenona · « **Reply #15 on:** Sun, 21 April 2013, 23:41:29 »

jdcarpe and Glissant are both amazing people. Always helpful in everything they do.

Soarer, bpiphany, komar, WFD, and many others are always creating things that better us.

Shadovved keeps us in constant supply of stickers. He's cool to talk to.

There are so many awesome people on GH that I can't even begin to name them all. They certainly outweigh the occasional trolls that roll through.

edit: woot! 2600th post!

ComradeSniper · « **Reply #20 on:** Sun, 21 April 2013, 23:44:15 »

This is a really great place, I'm so glad I found it (even though it has completely drained my wallet

SmallFry · « **Reply #29 on:** Mon, 22 April 2013, 00:36:44 »

LMAO MiMiC! I quite like the people and the sense of community here.
To name a few,
CPTBadAss, one of the newbs I picked up and has become a good friend.
JDcarpe, very relaxed, very community oriented.
Glissant, all around good son, husband, and community member. *tips hat*
Meeba, I liek teh M33bC45T!
i3oilermaker, very upstanding and professional business owner.
Esoomenona, very fun to chit chat with. Always funny to watch TJ and him banter.
TJCaustin, much the same as Moose, the two are a match made in heaven.
TheBeast, he gives me wood, steel, whatever material! (I'm a poet and didn't even know it)
Other members in the Chicagoland area for making the Meetup a great success and tons of fun.
Also a tip of the hat to the admins, mods, and other assorted helpers. I recall being a mod and it was often thankless, and quite a handful when Ripster started running around to post all sorts of things.
(If I missed you, I didn't mean to! This site is like my home and I'm happy to be here with everyone!)

Let me see.. CPTBadAss is awesome for helping me out with my case. WFD is awesome for designing all those plates, and for being really helpful in general. jdcarpe is awesome for putting so much time into GH60, okooko is awesome for being the single best trader I have ever dealt with and The King Klaxon is awesome for paying tribute to King Photekq. ~~rarar is a pretty cool guy too~~

There are tonnes of cool, awesome people here that I haven't mentioned. This community is far more tightly knit than any other I have been a member of, and I'm glad to be a part of it.

WFD's pretty solid...

Where would we all be without iMav? Thank god for him. Also, all the mods, who seem to have come under fire a little lately. You can NEVER keep all the people happy all the time but the custlmer dst on this dite is extremely high.

Most GHers I've gotten closer to are pretty chill. Special shout outs go out to all the cool cats that make cool things, they keep this hobby fun

CPTBadAss · « **Reply #40 on:** Mon, 22 April 2013, 09:07:38 »

Guize....I'm blushing so much.

Thanks for mentioning me so much

A short list of people who I've come to like or I think make GH and the hobby fun: Acetrak (my CAD partner), SmallFry (my keyboard professor), the Keybros I met at the Chicago Meet, Missalaire (she makes fun of my bedtime), moonprismpwr (really cool girl to chat with), Glissant (my Norse bro and all around cool dude), meeba (dude likes boards and music, my kinda people), dubsgalore (helping me put that CMOY through its paces), metalliqaz (DIY or die), akimbo (Alps Master), The_Beast (for giving me a chance to work on my first custom project on GH), Binge (Coffee good), and Jocelyn (She likes ink and boards, also my kinda people).

If I missed anyone I'm sorry and you're all badass. Anyone who I've worked with on a project (Photekq that case better come out this summer) is awesome. And I'm fond of the IRC people as well.

Oh and of course the great and wise Girlshark Wizbro. All praise to the Halverson

Halverson · « **Reply #41 on:** Mon, 22 April 2013, 09:12:25 »

Thanks for the footnote CPT

I am indeed pretty awesome, won't lie!

Too many awesome people on here to list. Many of you know who you are anyway

Ahem. MOOOOOSE. He's my awesome arch-enemy.

Binge · « **Reply #42 on:** Mon, 22 April 2013, 11:37:31 »

Well thenk you sir BadAss. I am also quite fond of what you bring to this community. BroCaps is also one helluva guy. A real perfectionist and for the people even if they're me

Means a lot to be a part of such an active group of people.

I'd say some of the nicest people I've ever met online frequent this place. Regardless of some of the drama someone always manages to make me smile. jwaz, Glissant, Moonprism, and dat KingKlax- matt3o, ron, jdc, and omfg I could go on. Really really get warm fuzzies from this place :-}

metalliqaz · « **Reply #43 on:** Mon, 22 April 2013, 11:58:21 »

This thread needs more Soarer, who's converter is taken for granted. Also bpiphany for kick-starting western "Kustomz". Special mentions for dox, komar, hasu, WFD, and boost.

Gupgup · « **Reply #44 on:** Mon, 22 April 2013, 12:03:44 »

The first person id like to mention is kempher, he is an awesome person. I took his keyboard in to do some modifications I don't know how long ago, I've had trouble with the plate and stabilizers and have had to send to a couple different people and get help (WFD and mimic, thanks guys) and he has been awesome about the time it has taken. Thanks kempher.

I'd also like to thank mimicmimic for also answering my endless stupid questions and talking about keyboards for hours with me

, definitely become a good friend of mine and is an awesome person for sure.

Jdcarpe, bunnylake, Jocelyn, paddywagon, kangarooz(I know that's not right, but I'm on my phone and in class :/) are all awesome for how generous and caring they are, always donating/helping/giving away their knowledge/items.

I also would like to say how nice and helpful cptbadass and regack have been designing my pointless and expensive "showcase", thanks guys.

I've met a lot of people on this website, and I've only met a couple that got on my nerves..

I've gotten a thousand posts pretty quick on here, and it has definitely taken up a lot of my time. But the people I've met and the knowledge I've gotten about something as simple as keyboards is amazing, thanks everyone.
