i prefer websites that arent saturated with ***gots

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".

milky's back??!?!

nope. will continue lurking, but i just had to chime in on this seeing as the people replying have no idea what they are talking about.

chances are rarar or w.e the hell his name is was just sent here by ripster to be his sock puppet (since he loves that term so much).

Yep, thats pretty much it hahahaha. He gave me a free key to post this so i dont rly care lol

i got out of hand right before my banishment. so i thought it was best if me and GH parted ways for a bit. at least the posting part.

but to get back on topic, yes, i use reddit. i mean, it's only one of the most popular sites on the web at this moment.

@rarar, keep your spam crap out of geekhack. mods/admins have enough to deal with.

And now I have this visual of some kind of website nutritional break down like you see on food where there's saturated and unsaturated ***gots in both mono- and poly- versions.

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.

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.

While I typically didn't mind him, you mustn't forget his constant crusade against jcrouse. 

But in general, it feels like those dangwang/ripster defenders are those that have some kind of disposition to dislike moderation and the people that do it plus the inability to know how to scale their emotional responses.  I mean, why else would you throw down terms like gestapo and Nazi for such harmless things?

[SmallFry]

I defend Dan because I liked him as a person, FWIW. His keyboards were nice, but it was more that he was a very personable person, also I liked Ripster, though his noise to help ratio was much better via PM than on the main forum.

Oh, now we're bashing bugs!? What happened to equality on this forum?

Are there other insects that we don't bash?  Seems like equality to me.

I think it's understandable that different people have and would have different experiences and opinions about Ripster or anyone else.  I'm an easy going guy and I pretty much ignored things I wasn't interested in and looked for information amongst the noise.  Ripster certainly had a lot of good information, there's no doubt.  And I should add, for those that joined ~2 years ago when I did, Ripster was dishing out helpful information left and right.... always the first to respond, and they weren't (all) snarky things and lego pictures.  Later on things got a little crazy the noise started to drown out the information.  (FWIW, this is the period when I became least active.)  But NOW, at least for me, the information in threads is much easier to *see* than before.  It's a forum so things will get off topic occasionally, but overall you have to have *some* kind of structure or it turns into a circus.

That's just *my* opinion.  I don't have any personal problem with Ripster or anyone else except for one mother ****ing ***** ho bag land lord named Debbie that stole $4k from me 5 years ago.  She can go to hell.  Ripster can go to Reddit.  Places to discuss mechanical keyboards increase, the toys we love grow, everyone is happy!

well nobody could possibly have quarrels with the praying mantus.

[esoomenona]

Yeah, **** Debbie. She's the real one we should be crusading against.

I think, as a Texan, you should complete that quote, sir.

Yeah, **** Debbie. She's the real one we should be crusading against.

I agree, down with Debbie.

[mushupork]

Debbie?  From Dallas?  She needed money for the cheer-leading squad, right?

[aggiejy]

Trust me, you wouldn't want to watch any movies regarding this Debbie.
