not gonna do one on the cheat?I wonder if that's the joke.
not gonna do one on the cheat?
not gonna do one on the cheat?
The reason I cut out The Cheat was
1. It's not considered an "OTD" board by many due to the fact that the groupbuy wasn't run by Eungsam (응삼), the designer of the 356 series, 456GT, and 360Corsa.
2. The guy who ran the groupbuy, Aqua (아꽈) has low key scammed and still hasn't shipped out all units while going afk.
3. Some additional info regarding The Cheat. Groupbuy was ran on November, 2010 and supports full NKRO. Color options were Red, Silver, and Black.

But Koala wasn't a Eungsam board either
356LReally hope that aluminum came from the right side of the wall :dafoe:
The first in the OTD lineup is the 356L. Following in the footsteps of the DK Saver, it is one of the earliest Kustom keyboards to be made.
Made from German aluminum, the keyboard is a lot heavier than it looks, weighing in at approximately 1.5kg (3.3 Pounds) despite not being an angled case.
As the L in the name suggests, it is designed for use with Linear switches, but it's said that the 356L also goes well with MX Blues.
Being the oldest and first of the legendary OTD 356 series, it is one of the rarest and most sought after keyboards by collectors.
Groupbuy Date: March 13th, 2008

Yes, but the Koala is considered an "OTD" board by most, opposed to The Cheat. Also there is a lot more to talk about regarding the Koala.
What about 356CLS?

The first boards made was actually prohibited to sell. Other boards have restriction on flipping (hence why bundles are so popular there) and selling outside of Korea. Only 360c was avail to the world.prob just so ppl cant track who is selling/buying the boards and get blacklisted if they are flipping, just a thought356L

that is exactly what it is, OTD.kr and kbdlab ban for flipping, which is why the Korean community flips to us through MM
cool moves dan
would also love to know the story behind this guy:I'm pretty sure the 356C was just a prototype version of the 356CL. I say this because it was originally revealed back in 2009 (http://www.otd.kr/bbs/board.php?bo_table=album&wr_id=3562&sca=&sfl=wr_subject%7C%7Cwr_content&stx=356c&page=16) in some photos from a meetup. Then some proper photos (http://www.otd.kr/bbs/board.php?bo_table=album&wr_id=3932&sca=&sfl=wr_subject%7C%7Cwr_content&stx=356c&page=16) were posted the next month by the 356 series creator eungsam/danville (check out his photos on OTD if you have the time, they're some of the best keyboard pics out there) (http://www.otd.kr/bbs/board.php?bo_table=album&sca=&sfl=mb_id,1&stx=danville). This precedes any images of the 356CL, but the design is clearly near-identical.Show Image(http://www.otd.kr/gn/data/file/album/3667529443_8d9b5eaa_.2Ffiles2Fattach2Fimages2F1602F2952F0952FDSC_5161.jpg)Show Image(http://www.otd.kr/gn/data/file/album/3667529443_86c00387_.2Ffiles2Fattach2Fimages2F1602F2952F0952FDSC_5177.jpg)

Lastly, RIP the 356L assembly guide.
I knew he had a blog, but I didn't realise how much he'd posted there compared to on OTD (http://www.otd.kr/bbs/board.php?bo_table=album&sca=&sfl=mb_id,1&stx=pilmuk) :)) Looks like he had at least 5 DGEs at one point!Lastly, RIP the 356L assembly guide.

Seems like he was quiet famous in OTD community back then

Only just discovered this thread. Good **** Notflipperdan and Photekq.
Will this thread see completion? :-\
hey, is this thread dead? was hoping for more information on the other boards as well :)
Thanks Puddsyhey, is this thread dead? was hoping for more information on the other boards as well :)
dan has been inactive in keyboards for at least few months now afaik so you can assume it is dead
I wanted to post this here just to let everyone know: 95% of the site's been backed up, there's no need to ever worry about it disappearing. Maybe nobody cares anymore, but I wanted to post just in case somebody does. I know I still do.
THAT'S MY MAN:-*
Bit of an odd one, but I couldn't think of anywhere else to post this.
A while back it came to my attention (shoutouts to yui for that) that OTD was nearing its expiry date (27th March). We immediately started worrying that eungsam wouldn't renew the domain, for all kinds of reasons. It'd been 4 years since the site's last renewal, and it's a total ghost town at this point. I also have reason to believe that eungsam is entirely separated from the hobby at this point. It also didn't instill confidence, knowing that the site had already gone down for a few months sometime last year. While OTD might be a ghost town, it's still one of the most important sources of keyboard information in my opinion. There are so many keyboards, both custom and vintage, that you won't find documentated anywhere else. And even beyond that - OTD is the origin of so many trends that we see in keyboards today. The members there, along with the members of kbdmania, were the true originators of so many things. If record of their existence were lost, it'd break my heart.
Now, eungsam did end up renewing it. He waited until the date of its expiry, but he did do it. It's good for another 3 years. So, for now at least, this was done in vain.
Before he did this though, while it was still a very real worry that the site would go down, I started working on a scraper. And I did complete it. I've now got the entirety of OTD on my hard drive, with the exception of some sections I can't access (OTD Studio, and marketplace posts that are restricted by writing power). All images have been downloaded, and every post/comment has been scraped into a database that could easily be reconstructed into a website, allowing for full search capabilities. If a time ever comes when OTD goes down, and I want to provide this to the public - I will of course do all I can to remove/censor any personal information or photos of individuals.

P.S Korean forum software from the 00s can go **** itself. It was a legitimate nightmare to do the scrape :blank:

Thanks for mentioning mate, I forgot to in my post. If anyone has access, your help would be much appreciated :-*
tyvm photokq. the hero we need and deserveThey still work. You just have to open them in a new tab!
bummer that a bunch of picture links in this thread are broken
Hiya! Here's a pretty + rare picture to grab your attention:Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/0DHLpPF.png)
-----
Some of you might've noticed that, while otd.kr is still online, only the homepage is accessible. Maybe it'll get fixed in the future, but it's been like this for some time now.
This combined with previous periods of downtime has brought me to the decision to release otd_archive to the public.
I've started with the two richest sections of the website:
Album (https://www.kbdarchive.org/otd_archive/album.php)
Freeboard (https://www.kbdarchive.org/otd_archive/board.php)
Other sections will follow when I have time (reconstructing these pages is a bit time-consuming), but these two boards contain 90%+ of the posts from the site. More than enough to start with, I think.
The webpages are stripped of links (except for Album and Freeboard on the sidebar), since they would lead nowhere, but I've retained almost all of the original design.
Most importantly, the search bars found at the bottom of Album and Freeboard are fully functioning, so please use them! (and also pray that I won't have to eat my words when my server crashes)
Oh, also, clicking usernames will show you all of their posts on the board you're currently browsing.
-----
If you encounter any dead images there are two possible explanations:
- I removed them on purpose. OTD was a very tight-knit community; members there often shared pictures of themselves, and of their family. I've done my best to remove all of the family photos and member's photos of their children, as I'm not sure how I feel about re-hosting such personal images. I've left some pictures of people - specifically pictures of the members themselves and keyboard meetups. If you have a different stance on this, I'd be open to hearing your thoughts - perhaps I'm overthinking, or perhaps I'm not thinking enough. I also might've missed some, since it's hard to manually filter through so many images without any oversight.
- There's some ****ery going on. OTD was inconsistent when it came to handling images - some would have 'src="/folder/folder2/image.ext", others would have src="./etc", and rarely they would have src="otd.kr/etc". I've had to bodge this a bit, and I think I've handled all cases, but I could be wrong.
I say all of this to say - if you find a post with dead images or a dead thumbnail on the main Album browse page please let me know. Send an email to the address found here. (https://www.kbdarchive.org/cherry/submit.html) Explain the problem, and include a link to the page in question.
Further to that, if you come across any other problems with the site, or any images that you think should be removed please contact me at the above link.

If anyone has any requests, e.g a new search option, do let me know too.

Lastly, before I go~

Long live OTD. Since '08.

P.S If somebody can get me a programming job or get me a 356CL/356mini/DGE/LIMKB, lmk :cool:
Absolutely amazing work Photekq! It is a shame that OTD is finally dead, but we are all very lucky to have you around to keep the legacy alive. Did you have any posts that stood out to you while going through and scraping the site? Would love to see what you may have dug up if anything.To be honest, while I have browsed most of OTD in the past.. I wasn't manually scraping this or anything, so I didn't have every page flash before my eyes.
