Thanks for the cheers fellas! Appreciate you all sticking through it till now 
I would also like to ask anyone to please keep the negative/snarky comments to yourself!
To address the disclaimer, I've heard many say this will be their first custom board. That makes me really happy, but I want everyone to understand that they need to be careful with this board because its complicated, limited, and not cheap. Its not a Taobao board you can just mess around with until it breaks and buy a replacement part off mech market. This is a limited preorder.
If anyone here truly thought that disclaimer was condescending, you absolutely missed the point of it, and I invite you to hop on the #help channel of many mechanical discords and see the questions first time builders are asking. Thats why the disclaimer was written. This board is available to everyone, and as such, its complexity needs to be addressed.
Alright friend. To be fair, you describe your board in unambiguously elitist terms, so I find it a bit troubling that you're also taking the mantle of protector and educator of newcomers for yourself. I spend lots of time on various discords answering questions where I feel I can help, and being just a couple years into this world myself I think I have a good sense what parts of this hobby are confusing to newcomers. What stands out most for me among newcomers is that they are often
intimidated by things that are not (or should not be) intimidating. I don't doubt that you've also done lots of educating of newcomers in your time, but this GB is not one of those times.
The trouble with your "disclaimer" is that in an effort to reinforce the explicitly elitist marketing narrative, you are trying to give those same newcomers the impression that there is something unusually difficult and complex about this board. There isn't. Instead you're just contributing to the intimidation factor faced by newcomers.
Following your logic, the NK65 Entry should also have some kind of disclaimer for beginners, because it involves understanding how to "program a custom board" (is that what we're calling using VIA now?), "properly using a hotswap PCB" (does the hotswap on your PCB require some special pushing technique?), and "not over-tightening polycarbonate parts" (just in case beginners aren't sufficiently intimidated, they should be scared when using a screwdriver). Don't even get me started on "picking the right materials and combinations", as if there are
wrong combinations for beginners to avoid. If there are actual unique complexities about this board then I stand to be corrected, but nothing apparent from the GB or IC.
It's all well and good to market your board with a particular "luxury" angle - I actually think it's well done in your case and I have no doubt your board will be well received. But you can do so without reinforcing silly myths about how certain aspects of this hobby are beyond the reach of mere beginners. I stand by the condescending description - it's condescending not just to the intelligence of the average beginner, but also to all the other boards out there with basically the same features and no "disclaimers" warning about their special complexity. Now that I think about it, it may be intentional, sort of like how the salesperson at Saks asks me if I'm lost when I go in to browse the shoe selection.
Anyway, I won't clog up your GB any further. I wish you all the best and I genuinely look forward to your next board!
