Some of those names I have not seen in a very long time around the boards... or ever.
at least one on there has to be a joke. I like your style lol.
Some interesting names up there. Some that I've never seen post on GH. keyboardlover (http://geekhack.org/index.php?action=profile;area=showposts;u=14046) for example seems to always be online according to GH, but he seems to have stopped posting?

I was actually referring to another much newer member. He's getting votes too not sure if people are being funny or not.
I actually did a trade a few years ago with Keyboardlover (for the DS's on the front page of his blog I believe), seemed like a nice. guy.
Tinnie should be on the list :'( He'll always be my #1 keyboard expert

I forgot about alps.tw, that's a brain for keyboards if I've ever seen one.
002 is also some sort of god when it comes to Topre. Kind of like Ivan but with Topre.
Nevertheless, put matt3o on the list, he really deserves it!
My vote is for dorkvader -- he didn't make the cut!?
Matt3o is or was an admin here, and I specifically excluded mods and admins.
My vote is for dorkvader -- he didn't make the cut!?
Ex-mod. :(

he still knows his **** about hall effect though.
I'd like to vote, but sincerely I do not have any way to discriminate, or define a relative position for the members in the list as experts. I have read some good tips from some in the list, but I have not seen any of some others.
In the other hand I may be biased for have been in contact directly with some others, for example Ivan.
Finally I really do not get the point in voting for #1 KB Expert. It may be fun but I cannot see any benefit. Maybe I need to be enlighten by the elders.
To be clear, this is a poll for fun. Not Serious Business®.
Must be Pacifist...

thanks for narrowing it the **** downThere's really only one correct answer here....
Yeah, the person who is the obvious #1 keyboard expert has a "P" in the their name.
I don't even know who most of those people are. There should be a "Just show me the results" button for people like me, so the vote doesn't get thrown off somehow.
Missing line:
[ ] None of the above

Vote for Stephen Colbert.I second this. He is clearly the most qualified.
lol, of course almost everyone voted for ripster, the only person I even know about.Despite that, most of us can agree he knows his way around a keyboard
And the funny part is that he is constantly hating on "geekwhack" every chance he gets over on reddit.

Seriously, the amount of hate I have for him grows daily (his **** is getting old really quick) but it's undeniable that he knows his ****.
Hopefully the people listed in the poll, and those who aren't, have a good sense of humor about this poll. It is just for fun. :thumb:Some of those names I have not seen in a very long time around the boards... or ever.
Yes, some are obvious hat tips I thought.
He was the biggest troll there was lol. Back in the day GH had no moderation at all. It was a free for all. Towards the end of his GH life ripster was trolling almost every thread.Seriously, the amount of hate I have for him grows daily (his **** is getting old really quick) but it's undeniable that he knows his ****.
Yeah, I only know him from his posts on /r/mechanicalkeyboards, and even then he seems like a tool. But maybe he's not, can't really judge somebody based on their internet personality I guess.

He's (allegedly) got a lot of sockpuppet accounts to keep on trollin'. It's kind of funny how much he bashes GH when there's *tons* of cross traffic... a lot of the quality posts on /r/mk come from GH members :))
To be honest, Rip's seething hate for GH is what brought me here, don't kill me

what is the point of this?

**** it man, I'll just say it: I love that Ripster still won this poll even after all this time and all his bull****.
tp4tissue isn't even on the list :eek:
Why does someone have to be #1 at this? Why can't we be a knowledgeable community which is anchored in some great members having knowledge of different topics and coming together in a conglomeration of keyboard knowledge?
There are definitely some names on that list that don't belong there.
Also, this thread is great troll fodder for Ripster's reddit-jerk
Well it's clear there are plenty of lurking reddit trolls here.
i bet he's top voted by his jerkers and will post something like "Turns out the WeedWhackers love Ripster!"

This is a problem around here. Judging an entire group of people based on the opinions of some. And it puts some people off. SO, when people from Reddit decide to take a look at this site, they see us talking **** about them for no reason, and you just prove ripster right so they leave with that opinion.

Who cares? Can we be the better site with the better people who don't stoop to their level? (Am I allowed to say this if I don't practice what I preach?)no ur not prepur for teh hitlerite nazies to nuke ur post and lock thread

guys reddit is going to have a field day with this. i dont deny ripster's moments of brilliance but he is also a tremendous troll. i cant tell you how many times i have told him on r/mechanicalkeyboards to stop the geekhack bashing.
why you even care about this irrelevant subreddit?

SOOOOO MUCH BIAS IN THIS THREAD OMG I CAN'T HANDLE IT!!!
This thread isn't to discuss who's the #1 keyboard expert UNLESS that person is a massive troll/*******/douchebag/****face/racist etc., it's to discuss who is the #1 keyboard expert, period. If this thread title was the former, then all you ripster bashers would have perfectly valid points.
My point being: Ripster is indeed a troll/*******/douchebag/****face/racist etc. But he could ALSO be the #1 keyboard expert on the planet.
I know some people understand this, but for the others, seriously, stop with the biased posts. It's hurting the logical part of my brain...
Vulcans are master of passive aggressive and then going full out postal. Also withholding technology.

still Ripster

It would have been Ripster, had he not be so cllearly ****ing butthurt about being kicked from GH he cries about it on reddit, like god damn.

If “number of keyboards stored in his closet” is a relevant criterion, then HaaTa is a shoe-in.

To put it shortly Sixty has a ridiculous collection of original Cherry boards, and other kinds of boards too. He probably knows more about original Cherry boards than anyone else. He used to run a website called keyboardporn where he'd post photos of some of the boards he had collected. Here's a backup album : http://imgur.com/a/M93qm

From that list I would have to say Daniel Beardsmore. He has such a broad knowledge, although maybe less about the more modern stuff. There's some close second places for me, but I vote him because I think he gets underrated.same this

1. I wonder if Pacifist will finally stop pretending like he enjoys being on this site and leaves GH forever.
Or
2. He continues to be disingenuous by posting here and talking BS elsewhere (http://www.reddit.com/r/Ripster/comments/26gtl0/whackers_edit_poll_so_people_cant_see_that/).

How is he not banned yet?
Pacifist is a teenager with a **** ton of maturing and growing up to do, hopefully soon, but now we're just picking on him. I think we all can remember just wanting to fit in when we were his age.
then I realized that he’s 16
In the meantime, we can always say good things about those mature teenagers on here.
Pacifist is a teenager with a **** ton of maturing and growing up to do, hopefully soon, but now we're just picking on him. I think we all can remember just wanting to fit in when we were his age. Unfortunately, he picked a role model like Ripster and is seeking his approval. And he's muted right now and can't defend himself (or go on the offensive), so why not wait until he can respond. Even if the arguments would be lame and poor ones, he could at least make them.
Not trying to defend him since I think he brought a lot of it on himself and I have my own issues with him, but we can at least act mature until he's unmuted.
