About the Rants category Rant Zone is for complaints about anything we’re doing or how we’re doing it.

@waytools - I hate the way you continue to promise things in your ‘updates’ which are rarely delivered. I hate the fact that you have strung us along for a year and not acknowledged failed promises and shrugged responsibility for some of the appalling reaction displayed by our forum members. I hate the way that you temperamentally (and publically) cancel memberships. I hate the ‘refund or wait’ attitude.

I hate the lack of automatic notifications for pertinent updates.

I HOPE that the TextBlade is as useful as the mechanical keyboard it inspired me to build. I’ve had enough of this forum, there are too many wise, important people here who are too willing to hold a mirror up to others, yet unable to peer into one themselves.

This forum is breeding disgust and derision. I think that until there is more to share than “This is complicated stuff, we expect to deliver the new milestone at the end of the week”, you don’t stand to lose much.

Until such a time, genuine keyboard enthusiasts will do just fine with real enthusiast discussion found on sites such as geekhack.org, deskthority.net and reddit.com/r/mechanicalkeyboards. And they can engage in their interest without being subject to streams of frustrated and/or self-approving, smug monologue.
