My personal reasons were a mix of feelings. This includes being sick of the same "what keyboard to buy?" and "gamer looking for keyboard" threads day in and day out. To me it felt like geekhack had lost most of the "enthusiast" feel and was slowly mutating into a mix of OCN and 4chan. Most of the real good mods and posts barely got any views, nor comments and disappeared in the flood of the same old gaming and what not topics. That is sad. I wanted to create a forum aimed at more advanced users.

That aside, I was also not happy with how geekhack got more and more complex with every update. No more mega threads, lets create a sub-forum for everything, do this and that, oh another sub-sub-forum and lets even split the picture topics into 5 sub-forums.

Even with the forum spy that all became very confusing and quite a pain in the ass for me to navigate. I always thought "I would do that different".

All that aside I was also very disappointed when webwits account was finally deleted including all posts. Then also threads asking about that disappeared in silence. iMav has all the right do moderate his forum in whatever way he wants, but for me silent-moderation is a no-go. I have kept out of that whole business before, but that nailed the coffin for me.

I think also that there is a lack of a proper alternative to OCN's "Mechanical Keyboard Guide".

I actually had to "fight" to get the wiki through. Webwit was originally planning to go with a forum based one too, but I wanted to hear none of it

I was reading it and thinking "woah...ripster has turned over a new leaf and has made a sensible, level headed post!"
Then I realised he was quoting sixty and I read his comment at the bottom. I could hear the canned laughter track playing in my head over the punchline "That's our Ripster!"

You break your toys then run away from gh because gh will not bow down to you. Then you announce that you are going to OCN and on your way out the door leave a nasty note on the wiki.
And you run to OCN?
You trashed OCN regularly when at gh.
Yea, that makes perfect sense.
Then you have the utter gall to say that you have a rule and it is "#1 be polite to the SubForum Mod", all the while trashing the mods/members at gh for no reason. When I say trashing that is the kindest word I can come up with as to your childish behavior.
Oh yeah the reason you behave this way is because you are a spoiled rotten child that screams and cries when they do not get their way.
You trashed your reputation at gh by calling mods and other members of the forums names and doing your best (not good enough by the way) to inflict harm on gh.
Then you whined and screamed like petulant child when no one would bow down to you. (repeated for effect)
Yep you are pretty laughable right now.

Deskthority I hope ripster shares his knowledge (he does have much knowledge about keyboards) with you and that his HUGE EGO and childish behavior doesn't cause a fracture in the group.
