I know he was a bit of a troll, but his keyboard science series seems really informative.

Seriously? This is like the 3rd or 4th one of these....geez......
You might find this thread useful...http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=62050.0

There's no hate here. Ripster got himself banned a few years back. Lots drama, but it's long since been over.
Unfortunately, he seems to direct a lot of negativity towards GeekHack for some weird reason.

Geekhack? Don't you mean... GeekWhack?

No one hates Ripster. But he’s a troll, as you mention, and a huge drama queen, and everyone’s better off if he stays in his own little playground.
His keyboard science series is a mix of useful and misleading. Everyone here knows where to find his stuff if they want to.

You forgot egotist and self declared master of the keyboard universe...even though he's frequently wrong and often engages in "science" instead of science.

He's a total hypocrite, calls this place geekwhack every chance he gets but doesn't have any problems linking to the content here.

I think ripster just posts these threads when he runs out of stuff to talk about.

having spent some time on /r/MK, i find his behavior rather annoying in a childish way, even if some of his content is undeniably useful

Why the threads for why the hate for ripster?

Due to the fact that Ripster has so much vitriol towards GeekHack, I think most people who don't know the story assume that the feeling must be mutual. In other words, Ripster hates GH, so GH must hate Ripster.
IMHO, I haven't seen any hatred of Ripster from GH, only frustration over having to tell the same story over-and-over.
Ripster trolled GH until he was banned. The community moved on, Ripster didn't. End of story.
-
When he was around I was annoyed by him many, many times but just shrugged it off. He can't do that.
-
Yes, Ripster trolled around just like many others do. He was also extremely helpful (unlike most trolls.)
One thing that gets left out when talking about Ripster, and I can only assume this is because many of you commenting became members after this site was "sterilized" of everything Ripster, is how he was the single biggest contributor of useful information on this site and this site's Wiki. It's been just under 2 years since the cleansing and the useful content is nowhere near what it once was.
He obviously pissed off the wrong person around here and got what he deserved, I'm sure.

WHO WANTS A BODY MASSAGE??

OOO! ME!

it is. that's why they tried to steal it while he was banned and couldn't do anything about it.
then people ask why ripster hates GH. ****, i'd hate this place too if it tried to **** me behind my back.
but this doesn't belong here, next time put this in the off topic section.

I miss the old coot! :-p
I think he was misunderstood. Those in charge couldn't handle his abrasiveness. His were not the only posts "sterilized" from geekhack. C'est la vie....

That doesn't sound like the actions of a website, or a forum, that sounds like the actions of people. Labelling a large group for the actions of a few is a popular thing in history, but seldom justifiable. It is fashionable to choose a large organic enemy though, the underdog is such a classic role to play. I shall set it up so that I hear the darth vader theme whenever I open GH, just to add to the melodrama.
