Name your GHeros

[SmallFry]

Who are your GeekHack heros, or people you think make GH a better place?
Personally, I think DanGWang is one of mine. He is very lax and knows his stuff. He's always open to learning something new, and always willing to help you learn something new.

Another one of mine would be Glissant/Moonprismpwr (since they kinda come as a package deal). Glissant and his wife have been very gracious to our community via giveaways and sharing their art (well, Moonprismpwr's art, I don't think Glissant can draw IIRC). Again, Glissant is always out there to help you learn something. Plus, his wife is super supportive of him.


All in all, these people have really made learning about this hobby a great pleasure. Just thought I'd sweeten somebody's day.

Seeing as I can apparently call for your help in any thread and have you respond quickly, I'd say you? 

And DanGWanG's blog is really helpful for really good info and pictures.

Oh and i3oilermaker for being an awesome seller and running TK. I love that he runs those promotions and he's super easy to deal with when you order from him.

[noisyturtle]

Currently MMB, he knows why  And obviously CC, GH wouldn't be the same without him. Not only does CC draw in more people to the community, is always informative and responsive to questions, but such a thing as a small plastic skull is like a gateway drug for many into the wonderful world of mechanical keyboards.

special mention for the reigning GH troll champion: tp4tissue

[sth]

but for real... some people who HAVEN'T been mentioned yet:
demik for deciding getting his butt in shape, and then DOING IT!
soarer's sorer, but he's a damn genius.
haata... nuff said.
hashbaz and his infinite patience and attention to detail.

JesuswasaZombie is also one of my heroes, he's is just so good at keyboards. AND SO DREAMY.

[jcrouse]

Boost, reaper, Tsangan and i3oilermaker, in no particular order. They are the most helpful and responsive for me and greatest contributors.

[razorsharpgears]

All the new members are my heroes, they continue to remind us of what GH really is about.

Input Nirvana has the best stories

[AriesX]

DanGWang, Sherryton, Whitefiredragon, danielucf,  i3oilermaker

[razorsharpgears]

Wait no one has mentioned iMav yet, WE LOVE YOU IMAV!!!

[metalliqaz]

jcrouse, bpiphany, and others
Edit: Soarer!

[Leewei]

I haven't had much experience with members here but so far I would say DangWang, boost, lysol, Whitefiredragon and hashbaz. Picked them for being friendly, informative and making geekhack forum worth visiting. =)

[AKIMbO]

Soarer for keeping his conversion code program thread up to date and answering any question, no matter how stupid.

[Champloo]

jdcarpe has helped me a ton in my brief time at GeekHack so I would have to give him the nod.

[tp4tissue]

I like everyone, except that guy who trolled me on slickdeals... only to leave the discussion with his tail between his legs when he was proven wrong about "typing skills", , what's his face..

But seriously, I have to honestly say that if it wasn't for MW, I wouldn't be a member here... but he isn't quite worthy of the GHero status...

Truth be told, iMav is the one true hero here... without him, this site wouldn't exist.

[jcrouse]

Can we post twice? I forgot to mention cactux. He is / was awesome. Where have you gone, mi amigo?

Also demik. We had a little rough patch but I always value his opinions and we see things about the same way.

[noisyturtle]

Ya know who posted some good wikis....*is dragged off by men in suits with a bag over my head*

[metalliqaz]

What?  you mean Ri***CARRIER LOST***

[jdcarpe]

I'd have to say (in no particular order): iMav, hashbaz, boost, DanGWang, mkawa, reaper, rknize, aggiejy, WhiteFireDragon, i3oilermaker, bpiphany.

Shoutouts to: Glissant, SmallFry, TheProfosist, The_Beast, Quarzac

And friends...you know who you are.

Couldn't be said better.

That being said, ripster #1.

[singaporean123]

Quite a few people here are nice. Surprisingly less trolls than most of the forums I frequent.

WRXChris PMed me once to tell me how I should install a plugin to notify me when a page changes, so I'll know when a CC suddenly becomes available on ELKB. I originally believed that everyone wanted one for themselves, and won't do anything to jeopardise their chances of getting one, but I guess I was wrong:)!

jeroplane also PMed me to notify me on how a set of RGB with white legends(that I was looking for months ago) was available on ebay.

Most of the people that I've sold/bought keycaps from were very nice too.

Overall I think this is a great community

Thanks.....

My shortlist....mmmty, tsangan, reaper, demik and the original CC hoarder Kisa...

[Sifo]

DanGWanG, MMB, mistakemistake... and hasu

Do vendors count? feng and imsto are so important to GH.

[Glod]

so this is a post where everyone stands around and gives each other high fives? or is it that kind of post where people sit around in a cir.. .........nm...wont go there

I have been a member here for a few months, i kind of thought there was no reason coming here because all this place does is make me buy more stuff!! its insane how much this place encourages spending. but what keeps me around here now is the DIY stuff and the people that aren't scaring me away. people like WhiteFireDragon, and TheProfosist, and MANY others--its actually unfair to single out 2 people out of dozens.
maybe someday ill have something to contribute, hopefully people will still be around to see it.

edit: + jdcarpe

[phetto]

[hashbaz]

My non-exhaustive list in no particular order:

reaper -- for being the nicest guy on the forum, and for taking me out for kbbq
Input Nirvana -- for being a sincere and passionate dude
mkawa -- energy and passion to spare
aggiejy -- my group buy mentor, level-headed and community-minded
sth/JWaZ -- hella cool bay area bros
i3oilermaker -- the forum's best-run GBs
demik -- don't let his prickly exterior fool you, he's a softie
the new generation (off the top of my head): kmiller, SmallFry, The_Beast, Glissant, &cet. -- for being awesome and fun and community-minded

[NikoGasm]

DanGWang for always answering any question I've ever had and for helping me get started here. I was so lost and intimidated when I first found gh, and I came to him purely out of coincidence and he really helped me out.

demik for being brutally honest. He's never afraid to speak his mind and I definitely admire him a lot for that. Not to mention he really knows his stuff. I don't think I've ever shared a single word with demik, but I'm always giddy to read one of his posts. Also, he likes ATHF which is a huge plus.

[Glissant]

A quick list of people that I think make this place amazing is as follows:
jdcarpe, hashbaz, boost, DanGWang, mkawa, reaper, Halverson, WhiteFireDragon, i3oilermaker, bpiphany, SmallFry, TheProfosist, The_Beast, phetto, tjcaustin, demik, Computer-Lab in Basement.
There are plenty of other people that make this board great, but these are the ones that have stood out to me (and that I could remember right now lol).

Circle jerking or not, this is a great idea to give a little acknowledgment to the people that YOU think deserve it .

[Alessandro]

Everyone that isn't all of you, excluding all of you.

Lysol provided me with my first set of doubleshots which I still absolutely love, and I enjoy seeing the new stuff he comes up with from hunting. Jdcarpe, Reaper, Glissant/ Moonprismprw et. all are just awesome, really nice people.

[hashbaz]

Everyone that isn't all of you, excluding all of you.

[Batmann]

Komar for being a polish hacker....and a keyboard god!
Lots of GHeros out there, all the guys designing keyboard parts and getting things of the ground: The_Beast, WFD, Litster, jdCarpe, Danielcuf, Hash, bpiphany...the list is long check the GB section for more names
And also Demik because he has 7342 posts

[Glissant]

I'd like to add Batmann to the list because he lives in France.

[Batmann]

(note that this is not a French kiss)

[MissMurd3r84]

Main people I have contact with are those who are in IRC, but on the forums I have seen so many helpful and generous people that to be honest I would be here forever trying to name them all. I guess I will give a shout out to Rayuki though for sending me a Christmas present

[iri]

^ for being a girl

[Batmann]

^ I second that

[DanGWanG]

Heard my name in here a few times and I just want to thank everyone for their support and everlasting commitment to GH.  While I'll say my recent times on GH haven't been the best, it's because of people like you who can appreciate how much I love GH, that I keep supporting it day in and day out.  The culture on here, as mentioned previously, is far superior than other forums I frequent and there is a trust here (even amongst the noobs) that proper etiquette is demanded whether it's in sales, or in posts.

There are far too many people to name that I have met and dealt with in the past 2+ years, but the ones who contribute positive thinking, promote excellent service and attention to detail and provide constructive thinking will always be heroes in my book.  You should already know you are.  I praise those with strong wills and those who have the ability to resist becoming a troll or feeding a troll.

We have seen many heroes come and go here on GH, and their departures are always left a mystery or a martyr.  I've been debating myself which one it would be =)

[boost]

Everyone is a GH-Hero ^_^

I really love to look at the pictures DanGWanG posts here. Especially the 420 themed ones. Awesome boards and clacks combined with a nice theme. This is more then only a picture of a board. Looks more like a complete lifestyle he expresses in these pictures. Hard for me to explain that in english, hope you understand what I mean.

And of coures clickclack for doing art that's affordable and that I can enjoy every day while working on my computer.

[bavman]

I freaking love everyone here, this place is awesome in general.

Also, I hear that bavman guy is pretty awesome
