Well the last day to file a complaint came and went yesterday. Really hoping what I put myself through over  wasn't a complete ****ing waste of time AND money.

Pretty much sums up my feelings as well. I went through hell and more to score three wins, and yeah it will suck to lose $180 but I'll be more upset about the ridiculous amount of time I had invested. I camped that thread like CC was going to post the cure for cancer, it would be nice to say that wasn't all for nothing.

I want to believe but now I am reminded to the ridiculous amount of time and sleepless nights I put in as well just to catch one of those  timing. And then those stares from friends, co workers and family when I dropped what I was doing, excuse myself during business meetings so that I could post that one character. That's the type of  commitment we put  to 'play' his game, as he clearly spelt out on his OP. So, here's hoping he's able to keep his part of the commitment.

I feel like you guys need CC Anonymous meetings. Dat addiction is real.
You were not there. You will not understand the hype at that time  :rolleyes: :-X

I was actually. I just didn't have time nor cared to make time :DDDDDDDDDDDD

I'm embarrassed to admit to all the places I posted from ... Date night with the wife, middle of one-on-one meetings with the head of my dept, family dinners, sitting at stop lights, with one eye open at 4AM on work nights, etc.

Seriously, it consumed our lives.  I have never let something like that affect my life in such a massive way, it was ridiculous.  Every time I had to go out on the shop floor, all I could think about was the chance that I'd miss a post.  And of course I did miss most of them...   :rolleyes:

i didn't really interrupt my life for it, but clackvent did make geekhack the #1 most visited domain in my office by the end due to me having the reply page on something like a seven second auto-refresh  :p. was a pretty fun, adrenaline-filled experience overall, and i think it actually made me appreciate clacks more because of it. in the beginning i didn't want to participate because i hated the design, but after attempting to participate in the first $150 day (which i assumed meant freedom eagle, aka legit art) i was hooked, and now that ****ty skull is the only artisan i currently allow to sit on my keyboard for extended periods.

worth the $100 for that experience for those couple months? maybe. but i didn't pay for the experience, i paid for the keyboard hats  :mad:

And then there's that certain tone from my phone from the Clackvent notification. I swear I think I have some sort of PTSD from that.

And how we all had our own little "secret" method and people talked about Tapatalk notifications, etc., but would never give up their "whole" method, haha.

We were such a pathetic bunch. And I miss it.

A random fact from the radnelac sale;

There were roughly 175 tickets (CC's).

I'm assuming most if not all invoices were paid?

At an average of $65 a ticket, that equals approx $11,375

Just think, you could have bought 3 OG Tri's for that..  :))

Seriously, it consumed our lives.  I have never let something like that affect my life in such a massive way, it was ridiculous.  Every time I had to go out on the shop floor, all I could think about was the chance that I'd miss a post.  And of course I did miss most of them...   :rolleyes:

Yep. I wound up missing so much sleep due to the time difference that I wound up putting myself in the hospital. Really disappointed.

$10,190

When you realise this, would it really be worth CC's effort to "steal" that much money and lose all his community reputation and credibility?

I don't think so, Tim!

Instead of putting himself through all that Clackvent stuff and everything that happened afterwards, it would have been much easier for him to say pid hvist to GH, and just sell a dozen new designs on eBay.

These kinda thoughts make me feel that CC's misfortune is real, and I sincerely hope he gets better and housed soon :)
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there.

Yep. I wound up missing so much sleep due to the time difference that I wound up putting myself in the hospital. Really disappointed.

damn, are you for real? what happened?


Basically too many hours camping GH + too little sleep + a 50 hour work week = panic attacks.
It's a good width!  If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.

When you realise this, would it really be worth CC's effort to "steal" that much money and lose all his community reputation and credibility?

I don't think so, Tim!

Instead of putting himself through all that Clackvent stuff and everything that happened afterwards, it would have been much easier for him to say pid hvist to GH, and just sell a dozen new designs on eBay.

These kinda thoughts make me feel that CC's misfortune is real, and I sincerely hope he gets better and housed soon :)

I really hope you're right Rowdy, trust me. But reading through CC's PP email that was sent:

"You request and summation is more than reasonable and I have taken note of the change of address. I'm sorry I have been unfit for this creative endeavor. I am in extremely poor health, many keys were stolen, and I am now without a home. This is one of the few days I have had access to a computer and with thousands of emails on multiple accounts it's been a nighmare. My work is aware of GH and monitors it while limiting my access. I have keys sitting for July and I'm hiring someone to get the previous sales shipped as I have been unable to do it in my current state. My goal is to have everything shipped by early July. I apologize again and if you would just like a refund, I would most certainly understand. I wish I would have communicated this more (and earlier), but please understand I am truly trying to just make it through each day. I am grateful for the generosity of yourself and of the community (GH)."

July is just about over, it's a fact that he does respond to paypal emails so he does have access to a computer or mobile device.

He chooses not to take 30 seconds and post a quick update on GH. There is a thin line between optimism and delusion. Everyone here doesn't want it to be true but at what point do say something isn't right?

This isn't a GB, he makes caps (or has Mexican's making them for him) and sells them, there is no waiting on other people. He gets busy, I understand that. None of the excuses validate ZERO response make on GH to update us.

FWIW - I've already spoken with Brian (EK), he cannot get ahold of him either.

This has been my instinct as well, but I don't really know CC at all and never really followed clacks until somewhat recently.  He knows that his caps have more value on ebay, so he would probably just sell a bunch on there if he was really hard up for cash.  Unless he really wants to get out of the game and decided to double dip on a final farewell.  Then he sells them all, then steals them and sells them on ebay (since where else would solen caps end up).  That would be a whole new kind of cold hearted.  Haha...

I remember this very well, he had to missed a couple of Clackvents too because he has to be in the bed, doctor's orders.

There's a management tool called a RAT or remote administration tool.

It's used to monitor every single byte that of data on your computer. From everything you write to the pixels on your screen. All of this information is displayed to management. Logging into another account is not a work around in this case. They would still have the data that he visited this website in many logs.

It's possible he only has access to company electronics with these tools installed and he can't access anything related to GH.
Or the entire GH domain is blacklisted on the router or hosts file.

Either way if his situation is what he said it's like I don't imagine myself acting differently. I'm too tired to fix the poor grammar in that last sentence.

RATs are also commonly used as virus payloads because they're specifically designed to be used over a network.

That's really crazy, but sleeping enough is really important. As our son was born the weeks after it was very stressful, weeks with sleeping only 2-3h - I even said sleeping 3h is better than not sleeping! Clackvent was regarding my timezone sometimes perfect, and camping was not needed after I installed Pushpullet and Tapatalk. I just had to be awake, and nearby the PC, tablet or smartphone.

Well the last day to file a complaint came and went yesterday. Really hoping what I put myself through over  wasn't a complete ****ing waste of time AND money.

Pretty much sums up my feelings as well. I went through hell and more to score three wins, and yeah it will suck to lose $180 but I'll be more upset about the ridiculous amount of time I had invested. I camped that thread like CC was going to post the cure for cancer, it would be nice to say that wasn't all for nothing.

I want to believe but now I am reminded to the ridiculous amount of time and sleepless nights I put in as well just to catch one of those  timing. And then those stares from friends, co workers and family when I dropped what I was doing, excuse myself during business meetings so that I could post that one character. That's the type of  commitment we put  to 'play' his game, as he clearly spelt out on his OP. So, here's hoping he's able to keep his part of the commitment.

I feel like you guys need CC Anonymous meetings. Dat addiction is real.
You were not there. You will not understand the hype at that time  :rolleyes: :-X

i was. you guys were ridiculous with that ****. altering your life for plastic caps.

Was fun to watch though

I'll post this here for you guys, I put a message into Paypal for CC about 2-3 weeks ago (not a claim) and I just received the message below.

"CC has been ill. I'm Gnome 33 and I will be helping him with his orders. I am going through his notes and payments and you will be seeing movement on these orders in the next two weeks. I just started this week.
