Hullo, new person!

Welcome to the forum. We don't bite (hard (unless you ask (on alternate Tuesdays))) - er, no, scratch that. We're good people, you'll like it here.

Thanks! I plan to.

Well, we can always hope. :yorp Even if it is pretty out there. (Although, didn't I read somewhere that if Tom Hall didn't get the rights before x number of years he'd release the story for TUiT or something like that?)
At any rate, there's always the mods. I recently played AR for the first time. My mind was absolutely blown multiple times. (On a slightly random note, the checkpoint sound is so awesome.)

:) Yes, I saw this earlier whilst lurking. I've actually been working on an Inchworm for that. Thanks for the link though!

@nanomekia :lol Hooray randomness!

Thanks again everyone! :D

I was joking, but yeah. We're the reason why keen isn't dead! :D
And yes, you are right about the "Tom Hall releasing the TUiT story" thing.

It looks awesome... but... Kailh switches :barf

I *think* it might be possible to find those keycaps on taobao or aliexpress or something similar though. They're standard cherry stem so they should fit any ANSI layout.

And does anyone know why this subforum dropped from 1,000 threads to 999? I didn't think users could delete threads they created and it would be odd for an admin to kill an old thread.

Obviously forum thread count doesn't matter, (though my 1k threads comment in the PCKF World Tour thread seems weird now ha,) but it seems too odd an occurrence not to point out. Especially after a migration as big as the one we just went through.

Edit: a thread was moved, maybe?

Ah, that was me. I was going through some old stuff and fixing some encoding issues that were breaking search when I found an ancient thread of mine, which in visceral horror at my less mature days, I removed. I'm pretty sure you're right; standard users cannot delete their own answered topics, so I should not have used administrative abilities to do that. My apologies.

Huh. As the number changed right after there was discussion about removing a bad occurrence of "jroc", I totally thought that's all it was.

I think we should all be glad I couldn't join PCKF when I was any younger (parents have very strict rules about internet). I would've easily been one of the most annoying posters of all time.

What I find odd is that there hasn't been a new Miscellaneous topic in two months. (I mean, I know it's slow here but that's still kind of a long time.) It's like everyone wanted it to just sit at 1000 topics forever.

Either people are too busy working on their projects for 3.14 release (which is this Tuesday btw!) or are just busy.

Personally, I've been uninspired lately. Too much stuff needs working and I'm feeling lazy.

Nah, none of us have been patched for the Millennium bug.
