In the last few weeks I've met some really cool kids. Just wanted to give some shoutouts to rowdy, turbo slaab, the_beast, tsangan, megaforce93, and mkawa for helping me with my projects or just being cool and chatting it up with me.  ;D

I don't think it is a contest as much as a nice place to say thanks and you appreciate someone.

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Well then thanks to the OP to start such a thread.
I mean, thank God we now have a place to say thanks to someone we appreciate.

Sarcasm aside ... Maybe I'm just old school, but I don't need a thread for that. I just say it and write it every times someone do something nice.

BucklingSpring, so why in the world did you post here? Just to be a grouch?
It's obvious that some people want to thank others for their contribution in this thread.

Like me for-example; I posted a list of people I appreciate because I don't say "thank you" or "job well done" half as much as I feel I should, but that's because I don't like to bother people via private message unless it's really necessary.
Other people have their own reasons for posting a little nod, but who are you to come here and make jokes about what people want to express?

I could just as easily mock your signature for being so extremely gaudy and excessive that I wonder if you're a teenager, and then claim that I am old school because we didn't like to brag about owning a bunch of stuff back in the day.
Of course that's just an exaggeration, but I hope you see what I'm trying to convey.

Now get off my lawn, whippersnapper! ;) .
~~~~


That being said I would like to extend another nod to Dan the man and Ultra dude J.D.; they are awesome people that always seem to take care of the community in a big way.

And let's not forget;

THANK YOU,MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY!

Hold your horses - I'm happy with this thread.
I came back with a grouchy comment in reply to the pseudo moralizing response I got when I asked if someone was keeping stats. Thats all.

I understand the spirit even if it's no Hollywood Walk of Fame or a Wall in honor of the fallen...

That said... I too miss Ripster and DangWang

I know he is still around, but I also miss Keyboardlover's outrageous and colorful statements.

Do you miss ripster before he went nuts or after? Because I never got to meet ripster before he went completely mental xD.

Even after he went 'crazy,' a few conversations I had with him were very non 'crazy'. He told me information when I asked, and was not snide or anything, it was like he and I were long time pals.

I dont' think Ripster ever went nuts...just overly sarcastic.  Sarcasm doesn't transfer well over text.  Deciphering sarcasm is really all about the physical, in person aspect of its delivery.  He's a genuinely nice guy when you talk to him through PM like SmallFry said.

I was new then and said and did a few dumb things but as stated, ripster was always very nice in pms. I think his issues were mostly against the mods, not the general membdrs.

Sorry, but ripster did go crazy.  Not literally insane maybe, but his troll-to-signal ratio quadrupled and he became destructive to the forum.


edit: That said, when I was new he was often very helpful in general, and to me personally.  So props to him for that.

Unfortunately, I was not around when he did whatever got him banned. So I guess I miss  him for before.
But I always enjoy a good show, even if it is considered inappropriate or if I do not agree with what is going on.

So I would probably have enjoyed watching him heading to the ban. He's a big boy. I'm sure he knew what he was doing.

moderators for keeping ppl at their best, and the rest of the gang for being so darn nice that when they misbehave they make even the mods look bad.

Seriously, my first impressions on the forum was how sincerely nice people were/are.

I can sort of understand this in flagship stores, but generally I can't see why a store would have a no photo policy. Could anyone explain this to me?

The most common explanation is security.  It's a whole lot easier to case the joint when you can just take pictures and study at your leisure.

The other angle is that they don't want you using it as a price-comparison tool.

His posts were awesome, there is little to no keyboard information on here since he was banned. He did get quite annoying towards the end though!
