Title: [FS] Hack Orange MX Skull...with a twist
Post by: nubbinator on Tue, 01 October 2013, 17:30:07

Since my Hack Orange clack isn't really helping me get closer to the Hardcore White, Octopink, Tickle Me Pink Clacks I've been looking for, I decided to do something nice to help someone who wants a Clack but doesn't really have the money for it due to the massive price inflation that goes on with them. So here's the deal, unlike other sales, this is a fixed price sale where I ultimately choose the person who gets it. I'm doing this because I want the Clack to go to someone who can appreciate and use it and not just toss it on a shelf, in a box, or on a keyboard that's never used and rarely looked at. The rules are as follows:

1. The Clack is $30 shipped US First Class bubble mailer within the US, payment as Paypal gift (friends and family). Outside the US will have additional shipping fees. I am taking a loss on this pricing, but I want it to go to someone who can appreciate it.

2. You cannot own any Clacks already. I may make an exception for those of you with 4:20 Clacks, but I'd like it to go to someone without any at all. Sorry for those of you out there who would like a HO, but I really want this to go to someone who has yet to hold a Clack and can appreciate it.

3. Tell me why you deserve or want the Clack. This can include showing pictures of what you might use it with and so on. I know, for example, it could look great with the upcoming SmallFry memorial set.

4. You cannot resell the Clack for a profit. If you decide you don't like it, you can trade it or sell it for $30 shipped, but you cannot sell it for more. I know this is hard to enforce, but I want this to go to someone who can appreciate it, not someone looking to take advantage and flip it.

5. This closes on the 8th of October at 10PM PST. I will contact the person who gets it at that point.

Good luck to everyone and I hope that whoever eventually gets it enjoys it.

Thank you for doing this! Very kind of you, and someone will be very happy thanks to it. :)

~~I guess I'll start.~~ I don't own any clacks and I never have because it's just never worked out. If I could find one for close to retail (like this) I would definitely buy it, but then so would everyone else. So anyway, I've been patiently waiting, hoping to get lucky somehow, and that hasn't happened. I'm sure there are people more deserving of this than me though, so I won't write a super detailed post.
I'm interested, I don't have a clack, and I know I would appreciate it. That's all I've got to say.

Good luck to everyone else who tries to get this!

Remember, to be eligible, you can't own any Clacks and you have to give some blurb about why you deserve it/want it, including, if you'd like, what you'd use it with.

This is really cool that you're doing to help out those without clacks, and I'd definitely want to get this thing. I've been interested in mechanical keyboards for a few months now, and I obtained my first board on Friday the 13th (so unlucky man), of September. Prior to that, I started hanging around the forums, and got hooked instantly. I originally planned on just asking for some help choosing a keyboard, then probably never show up again. But the community was so vibrant and helpful that I decided to stick around. I've been around here for a month now and my knowledge of keyboards has greatly improved from when I started and it's most likely due to the people on geekhack that have basically helped me out from the start. After seeing pictures of other peoples' keyboards, I started noticing the keyboards less, and the key caps more. I now currently own a Binge Cap, and have a Keypop smile sent currently on the way to me. Little by little I hope to increase my collection of novelty caps. I never thought that people would decorate their keyboards, and it was really cool to see what people had. There was one thing that I noticed the most though, and they were those little skulls. I ended up learning about Click Clacks from some people on irc, as well as from some others in a thread I had posted about them. After finding out that the majority of those with CCs were only willing to trade, and that the ones for sale were extremely out of my price range, I gave up. I still hope to get myself a CC to call my own, and maybe it'll be right here in this thread, we will just have to see :) If I do get it, I will probably put it on my only board at the moment, which is my QFR. Good luck to everyone else hoping to win this bad boy. Obligatory current picture of QFR:

(http://i.imgur.com/6Fm4ArI.jpg?1)

TL;DR: I'm relatively new, got a board, [insert summary of my time on GH], CCs are hard to get, GL to everyone else.

Very kind dude, as of yet, I have yet to own a clack either. Good on you for offering this to the community and good luck to those who enter.

I deserve it cus I'm cool and its my birthday in October and getting my first CC would be cool lol. If its posted on the 8th or 9th, I'd get it by the 18th, Christ, I'm 23 :OOOOOOO

Nice twist. I shall partake...

I'll be honest, I have owned two CC keys in the past, a Pink 4:20 MX and Topre Oktoberfest. I have never owned a CC skull before.

Both of my previous CCs are no longer in my possession, as I had to sell them due to becoming unemployed for an unfortunate length of time. But now that I am now employed again (yay!) I would very much like to become a Clack owner once again. Link to my old auction thread. (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=39187.0)

Why do I think I deserve this HO? I am very much a man of my word, and would not dream of reselling it for profit (not like anyone here will vouch for me, but it's still worth mentioning). Also, I currently own a whole three MX boards, all of which are in use (one I let my brother use, the other two I use: one for work and one for home). So this CC would not be placed in storage in a box somewhere, only to be bragged about on these forums. If I am chosen, I shall proudly display it on my work keyboard till the end of October, then it shall become the permanent "Esc" key for my home keyboard.

Good luck to all participants. No matter who wins, I am quite sure it will be a well-deserved victory.

Alright, I'll play :D

I bleed literally ORANGE. Attended the great school of Oregon State, where we live and breath the bright & beautiful ORANGE.

Random: here's my girlfriend's stuffed animal sheep wearing orange beaver gloves (don't ask why), bundled in an orange OSU blanket (again, don't ask why), watching the Oregon State NCAA bowl game last year....

(http://i.imgur.com/L2oG0m3.jpg)

My only personal keyboard is sporting ORANGE on charcoal keycap (HO CC would match nicely no?), with ORANGE LED mod pending...
(http://i.imgur.com/7cY3cMP.jpg)

HO is the only CC I've ever pursued (can check my classified, some of the reply subjects still have the WTB HO CC) but had to give it up due to some of the ludicrous asking prices.

Well, I can't promise any grand plans for the HO CC but I promise to love and cherish it forever. Cheers

I wanted one of these clacks since i joined geekhack. I really like the white version. I would put this one on my quick fire rapid that i bought a few months ago or a filco keyboard eventually since i still plan on buying one . I would not just let this one sit in a box , i would use and appreciate it everyday,

Anyway that's all for me,
Good luck everyone.

(Forgive my non native English!)

He thought that after crossing the Tsangan river, nothing would be so
tiresome. He was wrong.

The sight of that amazing pyramid, with steps 50 meters high, of the
most beautiful colors made him feel small and hopeless. Forming a
magnificent skull, the pyramid was the house of the Great Clack
Patriarch, the interpret of the amazing Click Clack, the one and holy
Maker.

He looked up and begun his climb.

Each step took considerable energy to conquer. The blue and red colors
made him tired, hypnotized him. They whispered to him to go back and
just enjoy the colors. He resisted their urge.

He got to the top.

There, sited on the blackest of tones, sat the Patriarch.

"I see you have surpassed the challenges to get here," he said.

"Yes. I traveled many days and waited a long time for this
opportunity."

"And what is that you seek coming here, child?"

"Your wisdom. I want to acquire my first clack, your holiness."

"Ahhh... I see." He paused for a long while. "Do you think yourself as
worthy of a clack?"

"I honestly don't know." The man looked insecure. "I have been trying
my best to be useful to the community, and help when I can, in the
ways that I can. Not that matters, as it seems the Clack gods have not
seen me fit, and so far I haven't been able to acquire one."

The old man gazed at him. "What would you do, were you to get one?"

"I would treasure it, your holiness. I'd remember it forever as my
first, and never forget the hardships that I had to go to acquire it."

"I see," the wise man whispered. "Go now."

With that a monstrous wind blew the man from the pyramid. He flew and
started to fall...

He suddenly woke up, scared from the dream. He though how amazing it
was the keyboard key caps could inspire such funny dreams. He lied
down again. However, he felt a lump under his pillow.

He took the small square into his closed hand. Afraid to look at what
was inside, thinking how could that be possible. He opened his hand and...

Insert what you will, Nubbs :P

With this my QPad MK50 would finally have a decent Escape-Key ;) (I know, I know, iOne flame incoming)
I got a Grab bag from a local forum member in Germany a few weeks ago, and finally was able to replace every keycap with a non-standard one. It was a grab bag though, so I have basically keys from maybe 13 different sets on my keyboard now, and it's probably the most mixed and random keyboard you have ever seen. :D

(http://www.computerbase.de/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=363344&d=1378555701)

This pic is from when I just got the bags, it looks a bit different now, I will take a decent photo tomorrow ;) (1.30 am here now).
The KB is not just a keycap-holder, but really the only "modern" mechanical I own and my daily driver on my PC. I have a lot of old Cherries laying around, but usually I'm using the QPad. And I really enjoy having such a flipped out combo on it. ^^ It's also because I can't really afford buying 100$ keycap sets or a brand new Filco every month, and despite some Vintage Cherry 2Shots I got from those 10€ ebay sales I never bought a keycap set. So this is kinda the ghetto solution to keycap madness xD
I just couldn't find a proper ESC key yet, they are all in the wrong profile or just boring. Right now I have a blank white DSA cap on there. Your clack would really make a nice addition to the KB - something special and even valuable, something to be proud of. ;) Disadvantages: You'd have to ship it to Germany which probably costs you a fortune.

Just wanted to tell you how awesome I think you are for doing this. I've never owned any clacks and only recently began to understand the craze that everyone has for them, despite having been a (closet) mech enthusiast for many years now. I see many others who I honestly believe would cherish this clack far more than me, so I'm personally staying out of this sale. Good luck to all those trying for this gorgeous keycap!

Nevertheless, nice one : )

Here's why I "deserve" the clack. I've always wanted a clack ever since I saw one. I think one of the images on a local forum(in Malaysia) with the clack has led me to the discovery of geekhack. Simply, I find clacks really special in it's own ways. I've never had the chance of purchasing one. Prolly cause of the timezone or maybe these clacks were sold way before I discover geekhack. So this is prolly my chance to own a clack. "fingers crossed"

Good luck to the other entrants as well. May the best entry wins :)

Post by: Pacifist on Tue, 01 October 2013, 19:11:26

Ever since I found out what clacks were, I made them one of my long term goals for keyboards. They are really sexy, and different from regular novelty caps. They have character and feeling to them.

I don't have a mech yet, but my keycool 84 is being shipped from banggood (OMFG shipping is so long), and I would love to adorn it with a clack, killing two goals with one clack.

If I don't win this, I hope I win the EK clack, or perhaps learn how to mold and create my own custom keycaps.

And thus starts the crippling addiction that ended Pacifist through death by clacks

I'd like to put myself in for contention as well.

I'm fairly new to GH, as a profile view and such can attest. I have never owned any type of CC, and was quite mystified as to the significance of such caps when I first arrived. In full disclosure, most of them don't really pique my interest. However, if I were to desire/acquire any, it would be Hack Orange or Hardcore White.

I don't believe I deserve the clack anymore than anyone else here, and especially not more than more senior members, and who have been around/contributed to this community. Given this offer by nubbinator, I have a chance, if however small, of acquiring something quite unique and it will be treated as such as I plan to stay and contribute to this community.

As for what I might put it with, I only have the one board, but am in the market and will be acquiring/building/customizing a couple more in the near future, and it will become part of those future projects.

All that said though, :thumb: to longzilla's post :)

This is an amazing Gesture Nub. I really hope someone who doesn't genuinely have one gets this. (like me :P) I've been hunting for one of these for a while but it's so hard to explain the cost to my girlfriend. I'll be honest that I don't even own a mechanical at the moment (saving up for the Ducky Shine 3, I'm close!!). I'd put this to good use and I know I could find room in there for this beauty. This is not a slight to anyone else out there as I know many of you other kind geek hackers have sold some Clacks at Clack Factory cost but I wish I saw more of this. Thank you for bringing a smile to my face and restoring some of my faith in humanity. If I win this at $30 Nub I'd like you to drill a hole through the back like Clack does on ones of lesser quality. You'd know for sure it couldn't be sold at a jacked up price. I'd never get rid of this, that's for sure.

Good luck to you MX people out there. While it would look great on my Poker II on my recreation computer, it just wouldn't look great with my blue/grey PBT set that Halverson hooked me up with.

3. My wife of 22 years left me last week for the shift manager of the local Applebee's Chad Thunderfist, because, and I quote "You make love like a little boy who is actually just a damp dish towel, and Chad has a timeshare in Van Nuys and a sweet motorcycle. Also I am taking the children with me and you will never see them again, but it doesn't matter because they are actually your brother's kids from when I cheated on you at our reception dinner in the back of his '96 Pontiac Firebird. Also, you pee like a girl and smell vaguely like onions."

A few days ago I also found out I have a rare diseases that causes me to reverse defecate so I haven't eaten for 48hrs for fear of the consequences. Yesterday my goldfish drowned, and I am developing a bald spot on the back of my head in the shape of a gorilla's penis.
Getting this clack would surely turn my life around, for I heard from a sacred Tibetan mystic that they hold mysterious healing powers and bring great fortune!

I'd definitely like to put my name in the hat for this!

I got started on mechanicals when I picked up an ABS M1 from Newegg. I think I stumbled across geekhack almost two years ago when I was searching for information on the 'coveted' Samsung/Qsenn DT-35 rubberdome keyboard, and got sucked into the wallethacking.

In May, I ordered my first Korean custom from Kailet (a very nice guy by the way) - a 2TU (http://22gongbang.tistory.com/92). Unfortunately it's not here just yet, but it's going to be a beauty with some Orange switch stickers, red + a pair of white LEDs, and an aluminum/polycarbonate housing. However, the only question left is caps.

I didn't really understand why the clacks were so coveted, but then I applied for the EK Midnight Owl raffle and saw that only six MX and six Topre are available each drawing! (I will retract my entry should that go favorably)

tl:dr - I'm looking for something to really make my first Korean custom pop, and an orange clack to match would certainly be a great start!

Wow, this is really thoughtful, specially since you understand how it can be very hard to afford a CC Skull at the ongoing prices.

I would really love to own a MX Skull since I don't have one for a couple of reasons, 1. I got in on the last 4Grabs, was the first one to know infact, however since someone else (I won't mention who, unless they want to reveal themselves) really really wanted to get a CC and that person had been very generous to the community, I decided to give my CC spot to them, it was a hard decision to take, but I really felt it was the right thing to do at that time, and still do.

Second reason I want, and want the HO is that I have been working to make the 40% SmallFry board come true and made a case design for myself as well that can be used to carry the case, thus it is something I will most definitely use, and this as you suggested yourself nubs, would look great with the Nathan set, which would be going on my 40%, when that happens.

And I am not going to be selling this, reason is I don't think I will be able to afford another one, so I want one skull, really in any color, and I would cherish for the rest of my life.

MY MX HO Toast is getting lonely.

My Topre 3D is also getting lonely, but that is another story.

The two cannot meet - the chemistry is not there (neither are similar stems).

I am a Clackless person and have had no luck at trying to acquiring one at a sane price. I joined GH last December so by the time I found out about CC's they were crazy expensive. I am down to one MX keyboard a Phantom which I would proudly display that HO on if selected. Thanks for the opportunity!

I would be all over this if it was a Topre. I've been trying to get one at a reasonable price for a while now for my HHKB that I use daily for work.

Good luck to you MX people out there. While it would look great on my Poker II on my recreation computer, it just wouldn't look great with my blue/grey PBT set that Halverson hooked me up with.

Ditto to both of you. My daily driver is going to be Topre for a while, and I'd feel like a real jerk if I was the winner.
Good luck to all the participants, and thanks to nubbinator for the chance. :)

Thank you so much for doing this!

I don't own a clack, mostly because it would cost me all of my extra money for the month. This would actually be reasonable, and I wouldn't have to skip food for a week. I don't really care what color I end up with, but being able to show off a clack to my not so keyboard competent friends would be AWESOME. I sure a **** won't sell it, either. It'd be the immortalized escape key on my QFR.

Post by: Linkbane on Wed, 02 October 2013, 23:00:01

Heh, I'd like my own appeal but it'd probably be overshadowed by lcs's magnificent piece.
I'll compose a sonnet, I have experience in that. But as a preliminary:

I'm somewhat new to mechanical keyboards, having joined the forum two months ago and loving the atmosphere. Philosophically, none are really more deserving than another of this wonderful keycap, so I won't pretend like you should let me take it at such a price. But I could say that I'd honestly appreciate the gesture a lot, what you're doing by being generous to others and introducing an uninitiated to clacks.

But I am nowhere near as important to this forum as SmallFry, who from my readings of his posts in old threads was a benevolent, helpful spirit. So instead of giving it to one of us, I'd rather you give it to someone close to SmallFry as keyboarding was never as important to me as to him. I'll take it happily if you offer it directly to me, but I think that lcs and some others deserve it more given the amount of effort he put into his post.

So, personal appeal, in all its humbleness: I'm a lover of keyboards, in all shapes and switch; rubber dome to scissor to mechanical (okay, maybe not the microwave ones). But I've been a typist by nature, and I would be overjoyed if a generous geekhacker found me fit for semi-charity of this cap. I'd certainly never stop staring at it, and it'd probably spur me to buy an orange keycap set to match it. But as I seem to be experiencing RSI, it would be a really nice thing to greet me upon recovery!

May the best man win, and thank you for holding this interesting contest.

Hi there! I'm fairly new around here, and discovered mech keyboards last March. I had just finished my first PC build and was looking for a keyboard when I stumbled upon GH. After a lot of research and trying a few switch types, I discovered what I like! I totally fell in love with the 60% aesthetic and functionality, and settled on a Poker 2.

Just graduated last year and have been pretty bummed out about the current job market/student loan situation, but browsing custom keyboards and seeing the personal expression and amazingly creative things people do with their keyboards has been a fantastic hobby. By saving a little bit here and there, I've been slowly but surely working on making my dream keyboard. The two things I want more than anything but have not been able to afford are a clack and an aluminum case.

I already love this keyboard to death and have been enjoying so much getting to continue to tweak it, but a clack would truly make it amazing! Specifically, I've been doing everything I can to find an orange clack, as it would be perfect with my current keycaps (Orange on charcoal with polycarbonate keycap modifiers). I don't foresee having the funds to get a clack any other way (and its the perfect color!!!), and so thought I'd give it a shot.

I'm sure everyone here deserves their first clack, so whatever decision you make will be the right one. Thanks for doing this for the community :D :thumb:

I once got lucky and bought a CC off an EK sale. I didn't know what "topre" was then , so I bought the CC, only to realize that it doesn't fit my MX boards.

I decided to sell the 3D CC off at the price I got them at, to someone who can place it on their boards and admire the beauty of the CC.

Ever since then I've been on the look out for CCs, participating in sales, but I just haven't got the luck. CCs were either too expensive or I just weren't lucky enough to get in on the sale, despite staying up till 3am-6am.

I've been on the search for someone who is willing to do the same as I did for someone else; selling CC at the price they got it for.

Perhaps you could be the one that does this favour for me! :thumb:

It would be great to have this CC because I feel left out and dumb. :p I missed many opportunities in the past when other CC's were on sale. I have never realized how deluxe and luxurious these keycaps were until now, a time when CC's are very rare and hard to get. Thanks. :)

So I happened upon this blog while I was searching for key caps for my boyfriend, to give to him as a Christmas gift. I can honestly say that I don't really know what key caps are and why everyone wants one so badly but my boyfriend has been wanting one since forever now - it's all he ever talks about. He's entered like every contest out there to try and get one, and has even asked me to enter my name in some draws. I thought that I would try and search for them on ebay but they are extremely expensive and me being a poor student would not be able to afford them! I've given myself a limit of spending 50$ on one which might not seem like a lot for key caps, but I don't have 150 to spend on a Christmas present as much as I want to. My boyfriend loooooooooves computer stuff and he's always looking to upgrade whether it be sleeving his computer wires or putting in a water cooling system (please excuse me if I'm not using the write terminology for this, I'm nowhere near tech savvy), so it would mean a lot if I could get one of these and surprise him! I definitely don't own any keycaps and neither does my boyfriend - that's why he's been trying so hard to get one. In any case I would love to win this clack for my boyfriend, but also good luck to everyone else entering this contest :thumb:

I'd love to own the HO clack! I currently do not own any clicks at all, though I have been on the look-out for any at a decent price.
I think this HO clack would look amazing on the Poker I am building. It would sit alongside my Round 3 Set from Round 4 (if that makes any sense, haha) with a nice orange WASD set as an accent. Thanks for your consideration!
Oh, I almost forgot to say, I would never sell the clack! :)

I'll throw my hat in the ring, I've arrived at an "endgame" keyboard of a kmac 1.2 with dolch and would love a single clack to top off the board, but just can't bring myself to pay market prices. I'll keep trying to get other clacks at retail, and should I ever be so lucky, will pass this guy on again for $30 to continue the tradition. Plus you can meet me in person and know it's going to a good home(located in Long Beach)

Any thoughts on engraving the clack on the underside/back of the cap to indicate that it should only sell for $30?

Good guy nubbinator. I don't own any clacks and probably won't ever win an EK drawing, so I'll throw my name in here and hope for the best! All I need after this would be a GH60 PCB, a case, and a bunch of mx clear switches and I'd have the perfect keyboard hehe.

good guy nubs

i'd like to mention that hack orange was the color clickclack formulated to celebrate geekhack's 5th anniversary and revival last year. it has a special place in my heart, as the hack orange color celebrates the hard work that was put into bringing geekhack back from being rooted and keeping it up and growing. HUGE thank you to clickclack again, for the hack orange clacks, and HUGE thanks to nubs for respecting clickclack's wishes in not flipping this cap for quick cash.

Jumping on the bandwagon here, GeekHack is great because of guys like Nub and the creative stuff that gets done by the boards members (as much as I hate the current CC economics/market, the product is pretty slick)

Awesome little bit of history I didn't know. It explains the where the hack part of the name came from. I do love the color, but, sadly, just have nothing it could go with and don't foresee anything it would go with in the future, not with my tastes.

I'd be a hypocrite if I didn't sell the Clack this way. I've long said that I hate the way that Clacks get treated in here and the prices they get sold for. As much as I'd love and could use a big cash infusion right now, this is one small way that I can try and ensure that these artisan caps get shared with people who will appreciate them and put them to use. It's great to see so many people excited for it and what they'll use it with. Honestly, it will be tough to choose who it goes to. I just hope to see the final setup it ends up with.

I don't watch the forum every minute of every day. I do have a outside life, I wish I could rely on just being notified by email but it's become apparent (disheartening) that that's the only way. Kudos to EK for helping to distribute them and raffling the buyers off. It's as fair of a opportunity you can get, but what's the point of subscribing to their site anyways? So I can be notified of their merchandise and not the exact thing me and sooo many others are looking for?

I don't have any clacks, and there are a few things having a clack would do for me:

The hack orange is nearly the exact shade of the orange of the college I want to go to: Oklahoma State... like seriously the exact color (http://go.okstate.edu/)

But more important than that, I'd like to have something to remember this community by when I move on to other things in my life. I really enjoy each visit to this site and each post made by the great people in this community, it's really something different than other forums. I'd use it on my Leopold FC660m with cherry MX blues when it arrives.

And the person who gets it is...

...not Demik.

In spite of having one of the most compelling arguments (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=49199.msg1061607#msg1061607), I sadly will not be sending it your way. You do, however, have a zebrawood spacebar in production. Just some more coordination with the great Bingey.

(http://i.imgur.com/ZESyaSr.jpg)

Joking aside, it was hard to pick someone for it to go to. There were many great compelling statements and I almost resorted to tossing a bunch of a names in a hat and drawing the winner from that. Ultimately, one stood out a little more than the other because of the creativity and fun they had with the post. So, real drum roll this time, it goes to....

Longzilla (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=49199.msg1061568#msg1061568)

This is on the condition that you beat my one alma mater, UW, and that my other alma mater, Baylor, dominates the Big XII this year. This is kind of kidding, but also a hopeful plea.

And Reziak (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=49199.msg1063427#msg1063427), hit me up. You didn't win, but you came a close second. I'm in the same boat as you with no job still, student loans looming, and stuff like this always being out of reach. I'll figure out a little something that I can send your way.

Congrats, now just hit me up via PM and we'll get the details worked out.

They are, but my Bears are looking killer too. Too bad they're in the Big XII and get no respect. And nothing against the Dawgs, everything against me ex-department there at UW. It's amazing how closed minded academics can be.

And, like I said, it was a tough choice, but your post was the one that just put a smile on my face and made me laugh a little. I'm sure HO will look killer on your setup.

It looks great with your setup! I've never really seen that charcoal and orange set look so good, but the Hammer case makes it and the Clack is a great accent piece. Definitely way better looking than on any of my setups. I'm glad to see you're enjoying it. Now I just need to find myself a Hardcore White to fill that Clack void left by the departure of HO.
