Do you guys miss VBB or like SMF? Opinions?

WRXChris · « **Reply #8 on:** Thu, 18 October 2012, 15:47:07 »

I miss the VBB smilies. Other than that I like SMF!

SmallFry · « **Reply #9 on:** Thu, 18 October 2012, 15:52:47 »

Me too! :laser:

DARNET!

boost · « **Reply #10 on:** Thu, 18 October 2012, 15:53:35 »

It was easier to run GB's using VBB since I already had scripts set up for that, other than that SMF FTW!!

SmallFry · « **Reply #11 on:** Thu, 18 October 2012, 15:55:28 »

True, VBB had it's merits... Security not being one of the.

What is r00tw0rm?

fohat.digs · « **Reply #15 on:** Thu, 18 October 2012, 17:40:06 »

It was a bit of a relief to go cold-turkey from this place for a couple of weeks last summer, but the loss of the wikis was a tragedy of monumental proportions.

I have kicked myself a thousand times for not having studied them more carefully, and not downloading stuff that I knew was important!

And, if I was a diehard Cherry switch fan, there was a world of priceless information for me that evaporated overnight.

As it is, identifying vintage keyboards and oddball switch types is infinitely harder and more frustrating now.

For all his schizophrenic foibles, Ripster personally raised my keyboard knowledge by orders of magnitude with his plethora of broad and insightful wikis.

Thanks again, Ripster!

SmallFry · « **Reply #16 on:** Thu, 18 October 2012, 18:37:56 »

If anyone sees that I've crossed out anything incorrect, please tell me. I left one Ripster because he was indeed a member pre-R00TW0RM, but did not want him spamming the form.

You don't want r00tw0rms - they delete all your wikis

He was entertaining though - RIP... no crying smiley??

fohat.digs · « **Reply #24 on:** Thu, 18 October 2012, 21:52:24 »

You really think that he took down all his own hard work?

That would be completely unhinged - those wikis were his claim to fame!

AKIMbO · « **Reply #25 on:** Thu, 18 October 2012, 22:01:47 »

^He's slowly rebuilding the GH wikis on reddit (or at least putting wayback archive links to them).

Pre-R00TW0RM lurker, post-R00TW0RM poster.

It really was after everything blew up and reformed did I start to post and such.

Lurked somewhat even before I registered.

TheProfosist · « **Reply #28 on:** Sat, 20 October 2012, 01:56:12 »

100% pre

lots of stuff i did lost then and with the banishing of ripster.

jdcarpe · « **Reply #29 on:** Sat, 20 October 2012, 03:35:51 »

The 170 or so of us using the Nostalgia theme are definitely pre-R00TW0RM.

ranviper · « **Reply #30 on:** Sat, 20 October 2012, 08:30:37 »

I was around for a little while pre worm. Didn't really get active until post. Glad I am now tho. =)

sovano · « **Reply #31 on:** Sat, 20 October 2012, 10:35:24 »

I'm pre-rootworm. I was a lurker back then, still am now. That'll change in the coming weeks though.

Are you getting a keyboard? )

I've had a few mechanical keyboards already. So it isn't that. I just spent my time on another forum with their mechanical keyboard section.

Wait a second you can change your preference for the forum skin? How?

Haha yeah. If I realised I could do that earlier I would of as well. But now I'm too used to this new theme...

Wow, I had no idea that you could use the old theme.

However, after switching back for a few minutes, I do think that the new default theme is easier on the eyes.

Thanks for giving us the choice, and maybe I am not hopelessly old after all.

Cheers, Harry

Just read through some of the results... looks like Ripster has been having fun at our expense.

actually i was a lurker. then when i finally wanted to make an account. rootworm happened. i was part of DT when the refugee camp started.

whiskerBox · « **Reply #47 on:** Tue, 23 October 2012, 23:55:15 »

This is a funny thread. Someone should make a timeline of all the events that prevented keyboard ogling. Remember when the server crashed during the CC sale and everyone freaked out? that was funny too.

Lol. I had just joined GH a few weeks before the sale. Had NO IDEA what I was in for!
My buddy wanted to play SCll. But I refused to play and spent two hours refreshing. He had no idea what I was doing...."dude, just buy your stuff and come on".
"EVERYTHING'S BROKEN!! Ahhh!"

there is quite a lot of information on dtwiki. maybe not as much conjecture/pseudoscience though.
