CPTBadAss gets my vote.
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.

But yeah CPTBadAss gets my vote for the work he's put into getting the wiki back into shape! His clack threads and GB threads on tracking that stuff are really awesome and super well made, like he's clearly put alot of effort into it. Plus his Filco cable mod thread was super helpful!

Ok good, Haata got added so I can finally vote.

Quote from: HaaTa on Wed, 21 May 2014, 15:24:46

Needs more Japanese masters: sandy, mousefan + rzwv
I'm not as familiar with the Chinese ones but: alps.tw
IBM Master: ch_123/daedalus
Some of the classic Geekhackers: chloe, rdjack21 (previous Topre Master)
Topre Master: OO2

You missed Hasu for his insane firmware/coding skills. And dorkvader for his Honeywell knowledge.

And whoever said yab, I agree.

Also jdcarpe. He's one of many reasons proving that I shouldn't be on this list, watch me say something wrong. jdcarpe will swoop in so fast to correct me! It's ok JD, I got you on this one. ~~Write in~~ Vote for JD guys!

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 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.

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

He's just butthurt because he can't come here with his true identity. Wouldn't surprise me if he has some other account(s) here.

i don't understand if ppl are serious or not, i really can't tell.

i can tell you, half the views on the thread is ripster pressing F5 hoping someone mentions him.

and since you guys mentioned reddit.

http://www.reddit.com/domain/geekhack.org/

i don't know if ripster hates GH or really wants to give traffic to GH or it's just some weird form of guerilla marketing, i mean who can troll so consistently on a daily basis? ppl get paid to do this on twitter for companies, it's an actual position "Social Media Consultant"

His contributions to this forum, up until a couple of years ago, have never been even remotely replaced.
