How many people here use reddit?
« on: Fri, 29 March 2013, 12:04:29 »
I think that the subreddit for mechanicalkeyboards is a really cool place , but there's not many people there. It's very similar to the media section here, but I really like the community there. Here's the link for anyone interested http://reddit.com/r/mechanicalkeyboards Also, ripster is there and his amazing wiki, somehting geekhack doesn't have anymore :(

I browse other subreddits, but not mechanicalkeyboards so much, especially what happened after the Toro GB. GeekHack is much better for keeping an eye out on interesting things that might pop up.

I followed both /r/keyboards and /r/MechanicalKeyboards at some point, but it wasn't worth my time in the end. /r/keyboards was contaminated with idiots such as someone who kept repeating that Razer Lycosa was a mechanical keyboard with mechanical switches superior to Cherry MX, and /r/MechanicalKeyboards? One word: ripster55. I wasn't interested in his shoes fetish and other crap.

Actually, I still occasionally browse the latter, just out of curiosity. Technical discussions are rare, and the wiki is the same mess as the old GH one.

I tried being on reddit in general, but there's just so much going on and I would most likely just be another anonymous and useless face in a massive crowd of anonymous and useless posters.

I prefer smaller forums where I have a chance to make meaningful contributions and eventually be recognised by at least some people.

I don't see any reason to be on the mech kb subreddit because I don't see what that can offer me that GH can't, and ripster gets annoying really fast so not having to see him repeat the same 2 jokes a hundred times over is a plus.

Just an observation, banning is one thing but it appears all posts by Rip were purged.  Sounds like no big deal until you go read older threads and you have conversations that are missing chunks.  Real conversations ... not just the silly exchanges.

No need to comment on this - do not want to start anything - but it can be irritating.

What happened to ripster had to happen, unfortunately.  He was given many, many chances and ultimately became abusive and destructive to the forum. He was not banned for trolling or posting Lego pictures. Note that he was also banned at DT, where the moderation is much looser than it is here.

Were you around when all this went down, keymaster?  Lay off the Nazi references please.

I joined reddit for  /r/MechanicalKeyboards when it was still full of cool pictures and guides. Now it's full of stupid ass shoe pictures, constant attacks on "Geekwhacked", and sometimes good content. For the most part, it isn't even worth my time.

Did I really have to be? I've done plenty of background reading to see that Ripster isn't really the problem. It's disappointing to see a flight of prominent members leaving, such as DangWang, who contributed much here. I can tell the whole Ripster thing is a sore thumb to the admin/mod staff here...someone is always taking a jab at him.

ripster was a big problem, keymaster.  He forced the mods to do what they did.  I'm not saying the mods are blameless. We make mistakes all the time, and get angry like anyone else.  But ripster knowingly and purposefully caused the problems that resulted in his banning and post deletions.

He knows a lot about keyboards and takes good pictures, but he can also be bat**** crazy.

I never understood how someone couldn't like Reddit. There's a sub for almost any interest you can imagine, and even more you can't. It doesn't only attract hipster atheist college students with cats, they are just a small portion of the people pool on there.

I came to Geekhack from r/mechanicalkeyboards evade I was getting sick of it and ripster. All it really is now is just people saying "What's the best gaming keyboard/switch". Literally one of the latest posts was "hats the best gaming switch". There are 8000 subscribers and a lot of the subs are new to keyboard an frankly noobs.

Geekhack is basically 3x larger and replaces the noobs with experts. So many more people here know a lot about keyboards.

Basically Geekhack is a lot bigger, friendly, larger and all aroud better

What happened to ripster had to happen, unfortunately.  He was given many, many chances and ultimately became abusive and destructive to the forum. He was not banned for trolling or posting Lego pictures. Note that he was also banned at DT, where the moderation is much looser than it is here.

Were you around when all this went down, keymaster?  Lay off the Nazi references please.

Agree 100%. Ripster is a much better fit on Reddit. The signal to noise ratio here has improved greatly in his absence.

There are many long time members who have made their contributions and are no longer active for whatever reason. All we can do here is try to be helpful and civilized to each other in our discussions on this forum despite the fact that our interests and opinions may differ.

I don't use reddit. I know that's not what you asked, but I can't stand the place for some weird reason.

X2!
I'm with you people!

I joined reddit for  /r/MechanicalKeyboards when it was still full of cool pictures and guides. Now it's full of stupid ass shoe pictures, constant attacks on "Geekwhacked", and sometimes good content. For the most part, it isn't even worth my time.

I don't really like Reddit. The culture it breeds irritates me.


That being said it is a pretty decent platform for beer trading.

I thought Ripster was hilarious, to be honest; but he was also a demented weirdo, so I can understand him being banned at the same time.

Apologies for continuing the off-topic side conversation.

maggots?

i usually go to websites that aren't full of bugs either.

also, OP, are you constantly going to kiss ripster's ass every time you post? or did he promise you to be his friend if you keep bringing him up on a website he "hates".

Did I really have to be? I've done plenty of background reading to see that Ripster isn't really the problem. It's disappointing to see a flight of prominent members leaving, such as DangWang, who contributed much here. I can tell the whole Ripster thing is a sore thumb to the admin/mod staff here...someone is always taking a jab at him.

actually, yeah, you did have to be here. you had to be here to see the constant trolling he did just to get a rise out of the mods/admins. the constant reporting he did of others just so he can turn around and do the same crap and cry about it when he got in trouble for it. the reporting of members that not even 5 seconds before were defending him.

and i keep seeing this whole "dangwang contributed so much". dan didn't do a damn thing but take pictures of his keyboards for internet props. many other members have done a lot more but i dont see their own cheerleading section like dan has for some damn reason.
