DT is a home for banned Geekhacker's
I wouldn't say "home". A couple of guys who were banned on GH have used use DT as a place to ***** and moan about it, but I can't tell that they have posted much on DT after that.
Ripster was on DT for a while after his ban here, but I think he got banned on DT too. It feels like a long time ago.
Still, I would say that all but a handful of members on DT are also on GH.
Ah, yes, a big keyboard collector who was banned on GH is also one of the founders of Deskthority. If I'm not mistaken out of the four founders, three guys were European and one was from the US. There are a few non-English subsections in the forum also. Therefore, I think that the aspect of being European is more significant than anything else.
They do have a nice Wiki tho.
The DT-Wiki snowball got rolling after the old Geekhack wiki went down. A lot of the info that I entered in the beginning was from old GH-Wiki paged that I had found on archive.org.
Personally I think that the GH and DT wikis should merge into a grand "Keyboard Wiki" and stand separate from the forums, but not everyone wants that...
