By the way, it's good to see you're still around, even of not as active.

Most of these ICs won't actually happen, but people like to entertain their ideas and hope that theirs is the one that catches on.

Been that way for a bit now. People coming in, not giving a **** about community, looking to make a buck.

I thought it was weird, but no one ever seemed to say anything, so I figured it was the norm.

...ICs and GBs lately from people with like 4 posts and no ties to the community?
A few of them I notice are more active on places like MD, but I look at some of them with a healthy dose of skepticism and wariness, even if the idea looks promising.
...people like to entertain their ideas and hope that theirs is the one that catches on.
Agreed, I think some are just wishful thinking and little chance of follow through.
...not giving a **** about community, looking to make a buck.
Maybe true for many, but I would also level that accusation at some established GB organizers.

TP is hardly the carpetbagger type.

tp4 is part of the cultural fabric of Geekhack. Many have joked that you're not really a Geekhacker until most of your posts are in Off Topic, and tp4tissue is a perfect example of this.

Has anyone else noticed a lot of ICs and GBs lately from people with like 4 posts and no ties to the community? I admittedly haven't been around much in the past year or so, but Geekhack will always have a special place in my heart, and since I've been back lurking around lately it seems like I see a lot more of this than I remember. Is it just me?Also I have noticed how people circumvent the classifieds rules and post a link to another site/forum, don't even bother to add details and embed photos... but than again I'm just a Salty Edgelord FK
