MY TROLLING MASTERPIECE! 10/10 on the witOmeter!

http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?1919 ... Troll-Poll!

I don't think iMav understands modern Internet culture and is stuck in BBS days.

He also doesn't appear to know how to respond to a PM on his own BBS! My thread was unceremoniously CLOSED, after being sanitized of all useful posts, and I was curtly told to PM iMav if I wanted further info. I did so, and have yet to get a response. :-/

BTW, I went to check my "where's ripster" thread and noticed another one had been "sanitized" away:

I'm going to apply for asylum in Ecuador with Brother Assange and CONTINUE TO CAMPAIGN for FREE SPEECH!

I found today my wiki mods and reviews are locked so I can't even update my own Geekhack content! I logged in using my car dealer's IP address.

Much better gh uptime ever since ripster was banished.

And ironically the ONLY posts being deleted now are ones with Ripster in them and the mods finally shut up!

Boy that Demik was annoying.

Great for watching very slow group buys crawl on a slow Summer Day.

Or puzzling over how the southern California Korean syndicate of Reaper, Demik, and the rest of the former OCN crowd get all those Korean keyboards.

Meanwhile I am typing this on an Aluminum Vortex Illuminated Pure keyboard sold by a retailer.

Wonder how iMav's Vortex group buy is going?

If you discount the GH-related threads, DT isn't exactly hoppin'. I'd be sleeping if the stark white theme wasn't trying to melt my eyes.

Summertime, when the keyboarding is easy...

Anyway, GH is about as amusing as KL on a good day.

Rknize, feed me some good Ripster posts from the GH Moderator subforum. Still curious why iMav permabanned me. Only specific thing I remember he mentioned is I reminded him of Webwit.

Guess I'm as ignorant as they are. All I see is a bunch of folks who want geekhack escape keys discussing the different colors available and which are "hot". Not sure what kerning has to do with it. Enlighten me on what I missed.

Hmm.. "wanted to be" for complaining about my year old posts being deleted randomly by teenage lobotomized moderators.

Well, OK, there is no kerning on the geekhack esc key font. So I guess you're saying there should be? Too sophisticated for me, I have a geekhack key and it looks like fine to me with no kerning. I date back to monospaced fonts and in some scenarios I find them easier to read, so doesn't bother me really. Count me in the great unwashed masses I guess.

Hmmm...might be interesting to insert <Ripster> into a post and see if it gets deleted. For science of course.

I'm not monitoring GH like before. But tonight I did post in a soldering iron thread (that had the year old babe pic deleted) and on the leather Ducky mod asking about some details. So I don't know if content is still disappearing GH wide or not. I don't have the continuity. Working 10-12 hour days for El Salvadoran slave wages will do that.

Which Al Pure did you get? Orange LEDs with MXreds? That is vying for top spot in my stable lately, and it works (with LEDs on, but not ALL at full brightness) on the iPad! :-)

The Race GB is a goatfrak! :-(
And that Washington Nihilist is still chasing me around the place.

As my trauma/drama unfurled, I got a call from a company I had contracted with in the past. I actually lost about $20K on a contract due to their ineptitude and my generosity. They recently fired a lot of their high dollar losers, and asked that I come into their operation to consult and do some fundamental grunt work to get them jump started. Promised more wages, been there 2 months, I'll give it another 2-3 and see where it's going....dunno how it will work out longer than that. My perspective will change as things in my life continue to improve.

Open to opportunity big or small....

However GH is more boring than shitting without a iPad handy and has moderators that are bigger dicks than that cucumber.

Either you moderators are deleting everything or all the lively people have left.

Yeah, RL sucks.

However this KBC Pure Orange Aluminum with Red Cherry types like a fucking DDD cup Cloud of Boobs, glows and is quite cheery, especially since I figured how to turn on the FCN LED. I thought for sure I had a fucking dead light!

ProTip for Vortex: ship a instruction sheet with each keyboard.................not just on your FB page!

Those who do not learn proper kerning face a life of mediocrity...

It's like not learning to use the comma properly.

I spoke to someone about buying their boat that's moored in the bay. I could slash my monthly expenses by $1700 month for 6 months minimum, maybe a year. Definitely would switch to iPad if I do that.

You could be like Tom Hanks in Sleepless In Seattle without the precocious kid but hopefully Meg Ryan would still show up.

Trouble with living on a boat is sleepwalking.

Posted: 20 Jun 2012, 09:01
by Input Nirvana
It comes with hassles, it's not in a slip at the dock, but on a mooring, hence the cheapness. The upside? A lot of girls will automagically wanna have "the guy with the boat" hook up. It could be interesting. Undecided. Possibly too restrictive. But, I'd get an iPad, another upside :)

I always think of disposing of bodies. Watching too much Dexter. Or perhaps because I am dead at GH now. Permabans and mass post erasures do that to a person.

Oh YooHoo GH Moderators, YOU MISSED ONE!
