*YAWN!*
Oh hi there. Maybe you should start your own "I'm back" thread too.
Nah. I'm kinda "done" with keyboards. Not enough truly new stuff out to keep my interest. I think all the work the old timers (XsPhat, iMav, ashort, bigpook, sixty, webwit, Chloe, Sandy55 ch123, bhtooefr, lowpoly/sofa king, CChan/Tales, lam47, kishy, Welly, Ms. Keyboard, and yes, even ripster)* did to promote, understand, and to some extent, evangelize quality keyboards has been done, and now they have a solid spot in the marketplace. Back when mechanical keyboards were hard to get, it was a lot more fun finding new stuff, importing from overseas, etc. Now, I can jump on Amazon and get what I want. It might be a bit boring now, but there was a lot of hard work done back in the day and it was well worth it.
Unfortunately, we got to a point where the only thing left to discuss/debate were our own personalities, egos and d*ck sizes and we all see how that turned out. We're splintered among 3 sites now (here, DeskThority, reddit.com/r/mechanicalkeyboards) and we all hate each other. I'm glad all that worked out so well; putting the "unity" in "community."
* And many others, of course
