Is Geekhack down?

[wlhlm]

Down again...

[Halvar]

It's only called that by ripster.

[wlhlm]

I didn't even notice But even he stopped calling it like that....

[andrewjoy]

is it not called .

Oh my eyes the orange and back it burns them!

[seebart]

must be down because they delete so many threads...

[SL89]

Isn't there a GH refugee camp on DT?

http://deskthority.net/marketplace-f30/

Strange URL, but true. Don't know how it ended up categorised as marketplace. As if anyone ever tried making money on GH…

[seebart]

Isn't there a GH refugee camp on DT?

I thought all of DT was a refugee camp for those poor people.

[Muirium]

What about us DT natives? Can we blame everything on the "immigants" yet? They're all on the dole, are stealing our womenfolk and don't even cheer on the right team at cricket. Boo!

[seebart]

Nah you can't blame them...as long as they don't come for your keyboards! Or bombard you with shitty cherry RGB like stuff.

[DanielT]

Nah you can't blame them...as long as they don't come for your keyboards! Or bombard you with shitty cherry RGB like stuff.

Unless the keyboards are some rare Korean hard to get expensive and unprogrammable we don't have anything to fear
Ah, I forgot artisan caps hide your Clack's

[seebart]

That's right watch out for the Korean clack masters.

[wlhlm]

Tell me about beamsprings...

[pwnnarwhal]

mkawa has been doing maintenance lately, so this just might be maintenance.

[DanielT]

In the past the Romanians had the bad habit of burning the crops, killing the cattles and poisoning the water when some other country threatened to attack Forgot about hiding in the mountains

[wlhlm]

Yeah. Though, I would like to see an announcement for these occasions, just like webwit does.

[SL89]

Nah you can't blame them...as long as they don't come for your keyboards! Or bombard you with shitty cherry RGB like stuff.

The latter event has already been happening.

Tell me about beamsprings...

Probably exactly this. I'm sure its long overdue. GH has a lot of boards and sub boards.

[Muirium]

Beamsprings brought down GH? They didn't realise how dangerous it is stockpiling them in the server room?

[wlhlm]

Haha, no. I want to know the difference between "rare Korean hard to get expensive and unprogrammable" and Beamspring keyboards.

[Redmaus]

No! Not the brocaps!

[DanielT]

Maybe is the multiple quoting system that brought down the server, that king of stuff is far from healthy

[scottc]

Just like every reasonable sysadmin does. It's probably just incompetence in this case.

[photekq]

I thought all of DT was a refugee camp for those poor people.

Don't say that. I don't want GHers coming here and ruining the last good keyboard forum.

Seriously, GH is about 95% cancer. It's gone up from about 50% in the space of just a few months!

[webwit]

What happened?

[Muirium]

Good question. And I don't hang out there so I don't know. But I'm guessing it's hard to prove a trend with just hearsay and a few links.

[SL89]

It's an inevitable leakage from reddit, first stop is GH, second is DT. /r/MK is at 77000 subs after all.

@Mu told ya

[Muirium]

I'm not worried. I think we have the outspoken culture here to handle newcomers, without getting all GH and tying ourselves up in sleazy rules and privileges.

More to the point, though: I haven't seen an unusual uptick in new people showing up here anyway. It's never been entirely stagnant. And we had a lot worse battles in the Marketplace a couple of years ago… hello Monedas!

[photekq]

It's not reddit. Sure, some noobs come from there, but most of the time they either learn quickly and become contributing members or don't stick around for long. A good example would be wlhlm here

I think it's a combination of a lot of things, with one of the big ones being novelty keycaps and the drama/idiocy that surrounds them.

[SL89]

I'm from reddit, and I'm nothing more then a nuisance.

And I know Murium, I was joking lol. I am still assuaged.

I agree the 'artisan cap' circlejerk is rather unbearable.

Edit: doesn't Monedas mean money?

[wlhlm]

I enjoy the Europe-centric crowd.
