Definitely in for a set.
I guess regarding my history here, Ripster was a big reason I officially joined GH. I'd stumbled on this site several times while reading hardware forums or looking up info on Dolch PAC boards. I know the community all contributed to the wiki, but several of his wiki pages really helped me out when I was first learning about mechanical keyboards. However, none of this is of course possible without iMav running/hosting the site and the dozens of people who also support it.
Regardless of how it ended (love it or hate it) it is edged into internet history.
That is true, hate the guy all you want but he actually encouraged me to join up here since he personally recommended the Wiki information (yes, I know how much you guys all hate that now).
That did focus my attention to everything related to Mechanical Keyboards. He has never given me any cause to truly despise him nor to want to burn him alive at the stake. He may of went off the rails, but history should never be abandoned just for the sake of pleasing any majority. Imagine if everyone did that, erasing history to suit themselves for the future.......
You know the fate of all those that like to ignore and/or delete history, it always finds a way of repeating in subtle and/or rampant schemes.
Now RIPster has taken on a Mythological stance because all the noobies who join up, hear this melodious chorus of Hatred chimed at him. Like all kids it attracts them, some kind of odious creature that is despised and ignored by the majority at large. It actually may apply to them in their own lives back home. That is why "deleting" him is more harmful because he becomes even a more powerful figure gaining ever more notoriety and support.
I don't think he will ever die on the internet, even though he is truly dead here. But remember he did at one time live and breathe here on this forum and actually offered a reason to select a mechanical over a dome every time....... that at least should never be forgotten.
