40,000 Posts! The Ripster Praise Thread!
« on: Tue, 23 August 2011, 14:04:03 »
Thank you for your contributions to the field of Keyboard science, and most of all for the laughs. Lurking this site for 2 years was made entirely worth it for your humor alone, nevermind the helpful information.

Thank you.

As I've said, Geekhack wouldn't be the same without you and obviously you've made huge contributions to the wiki.

I love you, Ripster.  You can give me head any time.

Hugs and kisses,
Sir Italian B. D. Stallion III, Esq.

P.S.  Give me a call later.  I want to give you a pinging you'll never forget.

"I come to bury ripster, not to praise him."

40,000 posts! How time flies... It was only last year that I said:

If it wasn't for all Ripster's ping trolling, this would never have happened so quickly. I'd like to officially thank zf electronics for that.

Well congrats !

Even if his jokes are not funny, even if most of his posts are not that helpfull.
But his wikis are good, informative and helpful so thumbs up for this.
I do not doubt that most of the ppl. are getting into the mech. world of keyboards by his wikis.

(If we forgot about the Ripometer, cause everybody knows that a Robo servo arm is needed for that .. and there is no robo without lasers ! )

So keep up and good work
(even if you are American, bwaahahahahah!)

Btw.: I demand that you use the geekgirl avatar !

Let's just say it took a LOT of trolling.

Doesn't appear that getting his posts deleted lowers the count though. Weird glitch.

1- Who's in 2nd place?

2- ripster joined roughly 525 business days ago, or 4200 business hours ago. So if GH was his full time 9-to-5 job, he makes about 10 posts per hour (assuming he gets a few vacation days each year, it's right about 10.)

If you do nothing else, you must be doing a lot of whatever it is that you do.

1) Me by about a couple of thousand posts or so (I think ch_123 is 3rd at 9K+).  Yes, it took a lot of trolling, but time was the main contributor.  Remember, too, that "took off" two or three months due to blocked access, for better or worse.

2) I do the majority of posting at work while queries are running, on lunch, during running tasks or just plain knocking-off.  I rarely come in "after hours."  I'm only here right now to check out my new WASD keyboard (which is very nice, BTW).

Congratz on your 40k post, rip.  Eventhough some of the stuff you posted were off topic, I see that you try to be helpful from time to time...  and as much as you possibly can under circumstances (not to mention that some of your wiki actually helped me more than once).

Now if you would only answer some of the PM's and change back your avy then you'd be alright in my book. lol
