My other posts are generally artisan encouragement/appreciation and opinions but they're all impersonal so I don't get "known." I guess that's the difference - I know of tp4s roneriness, I know many members have wives and/or children, some who are in school or work crazy shifts... To me these are established members as I know more about them than the topic at hand, even though by this measure I will never be an established member as I'm too private.
When it comes to selling stuff if I like someone's attitude I'll deal with them and the only bad experience I had was when I went against this (was on head-fi, not here) so it's a strategy that has served me well. People are either respectable and trustworthy or they aren't, they don't become these things with increased account age or post count.

imo an established member is generally someone who has been around for a reasonably long time, mostly being active, but has also brought something unique and significant to the community. examples I can think of are Matt3o (granite, PBT topre spacebars, etc), intelli78 (TA), BunnyLake (group buys out the wazoo, random giveaways, overwhelming generousity). people that essentially everyone on the forum knows of.
I'll just slide quietly into the background. No-one likes my posts anyway, so Tapatalk tells me.

I think being the most welcoming member to when it comes to newcomers, not to mention being known board-wide as THE Yellow Guy, counts as unique and significant :-*
for real though, I'm sure there are many active members on this board that might not have logged back into GH after posting in the New Members board if it wasn't for you

An established member gets the meaning of 'thank you for your input'.Cracks me up every time.
Has there ever been an update to that, if he is paying the $1/week?

in other words, never change your avatar once you pick it or else people will forget who you are. :)) :p :))

Maybe we should get established member tags after a certain point above our avatars?
Certain time/post count to get it?
Blah idk

When someone takes the time to become your dedicated hater, you know you've made it on GH.
Probably this.
I'm sure I have made some enemies over political/social non-keyboard stuff, but when it comes to keyboard-related info, I try to keep it pretty straight-up.
I was amused by the poster who attributed "establishment" in terms of buying/selling activities such as group buys.
Although I have made dozens of business transactions with members over the years, I look at this as an informational site regarding keyboards and an entertainment site regarding personal and social issues. Buying and selling seems strictly incidental to me.
But of course I am generally indifferent to Cherry MX and Topre pieces, which is where 98% of the group buys concentrate.

I just went back into my profile and read some posts I had made around the 100 mark. Some real gems in there, including (1) asking BunnyLake to add keys to a GB after ordering had already closed; (2) asking what a Korean custom is; (3) giving Binge suggestions on how he might streamline his cap-making process (I've never even seen a casting setup).
So yeah, a 100 post minimum is generous.

While I respect what he did for the community, and the impact he made on a lot of people, I don't think that saying that part of being an established member is something that nobody can do anymore. There are lots of established members who have joined in the time since smallfry, so while it is a big part of being part of the old-guard, I don't think you can say you must have known him to be established.

It's been a year and a half since Soarer's disappearance!
I suppose that r00tw0rm was in 2012 since somebody here 3 years can't remember it.
I remember that it was late-June-early-July, and that it lasted 2-3 weeks.
Then we lost Small Fry and Alessandro as mere teenagers quite a while back, too.

What makes me mad is that a guy I didn't really know at the time came in and saved a GB I was gutted died after the r00tworm attack, and made it better by inc ISO mods (that wernt apart of the OG set (this was before your time kid)). He then later did a second round with Cherry legends and proper ISO mods and then gifted it to me for free.

I see an established member as someone who is knowledgeable, present (therefore recognizable), and respected by the community. For me it doesn't necessarily have to be an Artisan, but someone who has given a lot of their time, and contributes frequently.

That was established many posts ago. :D
It is a serious question though, as it is clear people's definitions of what being an 'established member' means vary greatly.
Perhaps I should also have added something about what do you consider 'your' keyboard community as some people use it as a blanket statement for all keyboard communities (r/mk, DT, GH, etc) but many of us here specifically use the term community to refer only to geekhack.
Many of use take pride in being part of this community, in helping people when they have a problem, seeing all the many projects, group buys, artisans etc succeed and just seeing people get into the hobby for the first time and experience mechanical keyboards is awesome.

I think "this" is a good definition for a well established member, to be engaged with others. I certainly do not qualify, but I aspire to.

I've always treated people with respect, made an effort to keep a lighthearted and respectful attitude, and hoped for the best.
Treat others how you would treat yourself, don't cry about losing artisan raffles, and try to contribute to the community in one way or another. That's the true meaning of a well-established member.

It is not hard to understand how an expensive manufacturing process like double shot molding drive high prices for small plastic parts like key caps; but, it is a little hard to understand how hand made key caps may command insanely high ones. Aesthetics apart, that is a very personal matter, the economics of the last ones is just too out of context even within the already bizarre value environment of our hobby.

Oh man I truly enjoyed watching the rise, peak, and crash of the red Cherry ESCapade.
I agree about not understanding the sustained high prices. I guess part of it is that we all have some sort of crazy in us already to be so anal retentive about our keyboards. Add to that limited supply, being hand made by a member of the community, and constant "ooh's and aah's" by the membership.
Or maybe it's just a sign of the coming of the End Times.

People are free to expend their hard earned money where they want, and that is undisputed.
On the escape key cap, I'd say that scarcity also tends to inflate prices, but again, a steady flow of items, that are pretty much not needed, that run for very high prices just do not have logic. Again, we are here against conventional Economic wisdom, but certain products and services have reasonable value and prices that follow it, some others are just in a more extreme condition.

It's funny you guys mention this. When I met up with Lastpilot, it was during a business trip he made to WI with his colleagues. They all work to preserve the oral history of their region, so they all were absolutely fascinated with our hobby (I brought a decent amount of keyboards with me so they got a good sampling :D ). One colleague in particular wanted to document our little corner of the internet, but of course it would be a daunting task and I'm sure it won't actually happen, but still - the interest was there. ;)

I was just thinking about this earlier today. The digital age has made it so much easier to preserve history and stories and whatnot. But because it's just as easy to lose this stuff, it seems that a lot of recent history is disappearing.
Case in point--family photos. Before digital cameras, we had albums (ours go back to before 1970). But now that there are digital cameras, we take the shots, enjoy them and then file them away someplace we don't remember. And then eventually due to a hard drive crash or whatnot, poof! They're gone. No history preserved even for a decade. Apply this globally and we're going to be a race that has the historical sense of 10 second Tom from the movie 50 first dates.

But Artisans only sell for $12 to $35 or so, don't they? I don't recall a designer selling for higher than that. ;)
Besides, each and every artisan requires time and effort by the designer, doubleshots are machine made.

I don't often actually read the user names, so it kinda bugs me when people change avatars, especially to one similar to what someone else has already used.

It's impossible to quantify "established" but I think it's definitely somewhere well after 100 posts.
I just went back into my profile and read some posts I had made around the 100 mark. Some real gems in there, including (1) asking BunnyLake to add keys to a GB after ordering had already closed; (2) asking what a Korean custom is; (3) giving Binge suggestions on how he might streamline his cap-making process (I've never even seen a casting setup).
So yeah, a 100 post minimum is generous.
I've got so many cringe posts that are painful to look back on - like me trying to guess how much I can flip GMK sets for after they have been run, asking for nibs (this was before I tried scoops mind you)
In the ctrl[alt] blog they had an interview with the guys and I thought Bunny summed up being an established member really well as by how much you bring to the community - GHer's like Booper despite having a relatively low post count will probably contribute more than I ever will

Mine doesn't change much.
There's not many people who don't change theirs at all.
Mine has changed a bit but is always the Silent Bob head shot.

I have missed out on my first Clack sale. And I have at least 100 posts. Am I one of you now? ^-^
I am sorry, but until someone has ran at least a GB with custom made legends, or new materials and when she has built a splitted custom, direct wiring, with custom made machined plates designed by her, that person cannot be considered a established member.

My only change was adding Halverson in the background.

Only big change I've had is switching from the photo to the Noko edition.

I like this sort of modification - I'd add a santa hat to Snake Plissken if I gave a **** about the holidays

Interesting discussion but doubt it will change anything.
What exactly are you hoping to change?

A well established member is the individual that has ran a GB with over one thousand individual buyers, he has also won the keyboard of the month ones or twice, has served as moderator for a year or more, has a set, switch or some keyboard thing named after him and has over 10k posts.
That sounds fairly specific ...

Also, I don't think that anyone meets the requirement... :P

That's the point, this thing of being well established is by its nature questionable and in a deep subtle way a bit discriminating. I always feel that this community is everything but sectarian, GH has always encouraged new fellows to join, to express and to enjoy being part of our collective interest in keyboards and related stuff.
