-
I'm also from pre-r00tw0rm

Do you guys miss VBB or like SMF? Opinions?
-
I miss the VBB smilies. Other than that I like SMF!
-
Me too! :laser:
DARNET!
-
It was easier to run GB's using VBB since I already had scripts set up for that, other than that SMF FTW!!
-
True, VBB had it's merits... Security not being one of the. :(
-
wtf :O
-
I survived the Caligster rein of terror:)

What is r00tw0rm?
-
It was a bit of a relief to go cold-turkey from this place for a couple of weeks last summer, but the loss of the wikis was a tragedy of monumental proportions.
I have kicked myself a thousand times for not having studied them more carefully, and not downloading stuff that I knew was important!
And, if I was a diehard Cherry switch fan, there was a world of priceless information for me that evaporated overnight.
As it is, identifying vintage keyboards and oddball switch types is infinitely harder and more frustrating now.
For all his schizophrenic foibles, Ripster personally raised my keyboard knowledge by orders of magnitude with his plethora of broad and insightful wikis.
Thanks again, Ripster!
-
If anyone sees that I've crossed out anything incorrect, please tell me. I left one Ripster because he was indeed a member pre-R00TW0RM, but did not want him spamming the form.
-
.
-
You didn't fill out the form! LoL.
-
I wish I could have R00TW0RMS like everyone else!! :(
You don't want r00tw0rms - they delete all your wikis :(
-
.
-
All your wiki are belong to us.
-
Ripster, Dipster, Nipster... WTF?
No SonOfRipster or StevieWonder? :D
-
Ripster=r00tw0rm
He was entertaining though - RIP... no crying smiley??
-
You really think that he took down all his own hard work?
That would be completely unhinged - those wikis were his claim to fame!
-
^He's slowly rebuilding the GH wikis on reddit (or at least putting wayback archive links to them).
-
payback > wiki :))
-
Pre-R00TW0RM lurker, post-R00TW0RM poster.
It really was after everything blew up and reformed did I start to post and such.
Lurked somewhat even before I registered.
-
100% pre :( lots of stuff i did lost then and with the banishing of ripster.
-
The 170 or so of us using the Nostalgia theme are definitely pre-R00TW0RM. :llama:
-
I was around for a little while pre worm. Didn't really get active until post. Glad I am now tho. =)
-
I'm pre-rootworm. I was a lurker back then, still am now. That'll change in the coming weeks though.

agreed had to change back.

Of course!
-
I think my cat may have r00tworms...
-
I'm just glad the servers are stable and fast now :) Thank you administration team!
Oh, and pre-r00tw0rm!

Are you getting a keyboard? :))
I've had a few mechanical keyboards already. So it isn't that. I just spent my time on another forum with their mechanical keyboard section.

agreed had to change back.
Wait a second you can change your preference for the forum skin? How?
-
Profile -> Forum Profile
then
Modify Profile -> Look and Layout

Ah I see now. Thank you very much! Make that 173 people now using Nostalgia :)
-
Haha yeah. If I realised I could do that earlier I would of as well. But now I'm too used to this new theme...
-
Rowdy is using Nostalgia theme too :)
-
So pre rootworm is a thing now :D
-
.
-
Wow, I had no idea that you could use the old theme.
However, after switching back for a few minutes, I do think that the new default theme is easier on the eyes.
Thanks for giving us the choice, and maybe I am not hopelessly old after all.
Cheers, Harry
-
Just read through some of the results... looks like Ripster has been having fun at our expense.
-
actually i was a lurker. then when i finally wanted to make an account. rootworm happened. i was part of DT when the refugee camp started.
-
This is a funny thread. Someone should make a timeline of all the events that prevented keyboard ogling. Remember when the server crashed during the CC sale and everyone freaked out? that was funny too.

Lol. I had just joined GH a few weeks before the sale. Had NO IDEA what I was in for!
My buddy wanted to play SCll. But I refused to play and spent two hours refreshing. He had no idea what I was doing...."dude, just buy your stuff and come on".
"EVERYTHING'S BROKEN!! Ahhh!"

there is quite a lot of information on dtwiki. maybe not as much conjecture/pseudoscience though.

Not that many posts, but I am definetly pre r00tworm.
I also just switched to the nostalgia theme :)
-
I am post worm
-
Pre-worm here. Too bad peeps that do damage don't go to jail.
The wikis loss is tragic no matter how you slice it. To say otherwise is spiteful. Some may be rebuilt over time, but the loss definitely hurts everyone.
-
'Tis true... :(
-
Indeed. I have been looking for a guide on how to mod a full sized Model M to make it a space saver, but unfortunately the guide was lost to the R00TW0RM...
Anyone happen to know where I might find said guide? (sorry to hijack your thread there SmallFry...)
-
can someone explain this r00tw0rm business to me? how would someone that's post-r00tw0rm know that r00tw0rm is? haha
-
I'm pre r00tw0rm too.
-
Pre-worm w00t w00t
We all take it for granted how well things run now.
-
We can't talk about the details: it's part of being in the pre-r00tworm club.
-
First rule of R00TW0RM Club is that you do NOT talk about it.
-
Pre-rootwormhole is a club?
Is posthole-rootwormholio a club too?
Am I talking about it toooooo much?
Are you gonna frag me like Meatloaf (Man-Titty-Bob alias Rootwermie)?
-
I was just kidding Input Nirvana. :P
-
What about those who were pre-r00tw0rm, but could not reactivate their accounts and so created new accounts.
Are they both pre- and post-r00tw0rm?
Have they truly been enlightened?

Using the dictionary as an example, the "unabridged" dictionary of keyboards does not exist.
Pre-R00TW0RM, the "wiki" section of Geekhack was perhaps the biggest and best reference available anywhere, while the current GH wikis (and slightly more comprehensive Deskthority wikis) are little more than "pocket" paperbacks at best.
I am a lazy sod, and had only made a few small contributions, each with a dozen photos and a dozen paragraphs of instructions on deconstructing and rebuilding Model M/Fs, but even those are gone.
It is hard for me to comprehend someone deliberately eliminating work that took hundreds of hours of his own time to create, and especially since it was work that benefited hundreds or thousands of people, greatly, in their quest to educate themselves about mechanical keyboards.
