Stskeeps says bye! o/
 

Hi guys,

Think it's enough by now. And this isn't going to have one of those drama comebacks. I've been on here since a long time, helping out with your devices, problems - and it's stopped being fun. And that's a signal for me that the activity has to end. I've had enough of toxicity.

If you feel like contacting me (for whatever reason you might want to), you can find me on irc.freenode.net #meego-arm 'Stskeeps', if you have any questions about MeeGo on N900 or ARM and would like exact information. You can participate in forum discussions here for N900 and MeeGo

By the time I left, my thanks count was 7658 with 1425 posts made, maemo.org karma 1161. It's been fun guys - I arrived here with my N800 long ago, learned so much from you guys and worked together with many of you on many different issues and projects, had beers with many of you and enjoyed discussing with the majority of you on there.

Even gerbick, whom I respect for having been a good discussion partner who occasionally understood facts/agreeing and for being brutally honest in a constructive manner. And SD69 as well, who has occasionally made me see red - yet I was being able to chat with him in a friendly manner and shake hands with him at SF2011.

(I did kind of want to go out in a qwerty12-style blaze, but I still want to see some of you guys around the place and I'll continue to bring a briliant MeeGo N900 hardware adaptation to you..)

Thank you, InternetTabletTalk and those of you who understood and supported the productive, constructive, friendly and hacker-ish atmosphere of this place also later in the rename to talk.maemo.org and those of you who participated in that atmosphere when arriving with your N900s.

So long, and thanks for all the fish.
/Carsten

Re: Stskeeps says bye! o/
 

Thanks for everything you've done, and continue to do. It is very much appreciated. Good luck. :)

Re: Stskeeps says bye! o/
 

this forced me to come back here and log in to thank the post, bah! :p

Re: Stskeeps says bye! o/
 

The sky is falling.
Good people flock away.
/me is triste, solitario y final.

Re: Stskeeps says bye! o/
 

Thanks for all, Stskeeps.

We will miss you for sure.

Thanks for all.

Re: Stskeeps says bye! o/
 

Stskeeps > abill_uk

It's a shame you have to go man. I wish some of the deadwood would leave instead.

Re: Stskeeps says bye! o/
 

Bye. See you in an apple forum.

EDIT: This is a try to get him back and make one last reponse :D

Re: Stskeeps says bye! o/
 

Thanks for all!
I hope you'll find it fun wherever you're staying now.

Re: Stskeeps says bye! o/
 

No, you're wrong.

It's Stskeeps >>> abill_uk

Oh, why couldn't the maemo gods have have taken abill_uk from these pages in lieu of stskeeps!
I am a relative newcomer and have had very few direct contact with you, but I have definitely felt the influence of your work here while walking through the hallowed halls of TMO. Goodbye and good luck. May we meet yet again, another day, on another brilliant device.

Re: Stskeeps says bye! o/
 

Thank You for your time here. It's really bad that good people go away from here.
all the best!

Re: Stskeeps says bye! o/
 

No one will be able to capture just how huge a contribution you've made to Maemo over the years, both technically and in your attempts to keep the greater community informed.

When you look back, I hope you don't see the numerous troll threads by ignorantly self-entitled users making "demands" instead of contributions. Instead, I hope you remember a very unique project which grew far beyond the planned expectations of everyone, and I hope that your work in MeeGo will be even more fruitful.

Re: Stskeeps says bye! o/
 

My N900 and I will always be waiting for you.

Hope you come back immediately after Elop is fired.

Re: Stskeeps says bye! o/
 

there's gonna be a big hole left to fill here... been a great trip...

one of the best, your efforts with Maemo; Mer; and Meego have been very much appreciated over the years, even if some of them have not panned out as originally envisaged.

i hope that this decision is not a result of some the disruptive members around here. It's a shame if it is, but understandable..

best wishes

Re: Stskeeps says bye! o/
 

sorry to see you leave man, but i guess you gotta do what you gotta do. thank you for all your past contributions to the maemo/meego community as they have been instrumental in getting our devices to where they are today. best of luck in your future endeavors. take care and be well. ciao

Re: Stskeeps says bye! o/
 

Peace. From the comments here you can see how valued you have been. But, you will have to leave the planet to get rid of me ;-)

Take Care.
A.

Re: Stskeeps says bye! o/
 

Well its about time I guess. His posts with utmost logic, reason and kindness always seemed out of place here, and I felt there were maybe 3 others like him.

I hope this doesn't mean he will discontinue his passionate work with MeeGo.

Re: Stskeeps says bye! o/
 

Unfortunately, Stskeeps will always be associated by me with one of the biggest wildgoose chases this site ever witnessed, which was the Mer mirage, which was succeeded by what turned out to be the MeeGo mirage -- at least as far as Nokia was concerned, and Stskeeps was heavily involved in that, too, assuring us that Mer was not so much dead as assimilated into MeeGo and the victorious march toward Step 5 out of 5.

I think, though, that the reason Stskeeps stands out so much is that he refused to hide out in the traditional Nokia way, not that he was fully with Nokia anyway. He was one of the few straight-talkers that we could rely on.

Re: Stskeeps says bye! o/
 

oh well i guess this was inevitable. thank you for everything you have done and continue to do for the n900/n8x0. i have always appreciated the moment when you ride in on a white horse to set the record straight and keep nonsense from prevailing. your candor and transparency on the meego hardware adaptation is much appreciated as well.

you will be missed :(

Re: Stskeeps says bye! o/
 

I fck love moderation of this place :|

Re: Stskeeps says bye! o/
 

A quick peek at Stskeeps' recent post history reveals that his departure most definitely is the result of a particular disruptive member who has sucked the life out of this community, and the enjoyment of working with it. talk.maemo.org members have repeatedly seen abill_uk antagonise Stskeeps, as if he is some embodiment of all Nokia, and then act as though he has some right to demand what Stskeeps do. The ridiculous behavior of a spoiled child.

While Stskeeps contributed and brought information about what is possible or in progress, abill_uk repeats misinformation and contributes nothing. I sincerely hope that such constantly disruptive behavior will not be tolerated on the MeeGo forums.

Re: Stskeeps says bye! o/
 

It is pretty surprising that someone taken seriously by noone else could have played such a role. I think it was more the cumulative effect of all of us, and was probably egged on by MeeGo elitists. Whatever, it's pretty much a guessing game.

Re: Stskeeps says bye! o/
 

I'm sure he left becouse nokia didn't want to release the n9 as a consumer device. I'm thinking of doing the same...

Re: Stskeeps says bye! o/
 

Carsten, I fully understand your decision... My only hope is you'll still be present as a member of the Maemo/MeeGo community. (Funny... this forum used to be the center of this community once. Long ago.)

You could have done what I did. Ignore. Watching my ignore list grow and grow, I wonder sometimes what's the point of coming here at all. Especially now that the good guys (and the good girl... oh I miss her) were driven away by the stench.

As funny as it may sound: I hope I'll keep enjoying your work.

Re: Stskeeps says bye! o/
 

Really sad to see you go Carsten. I always felt you stepped in and brought order to even the most chaotic of threads. I do understand though. See you on fmc and freenode!

Re: Stskeeps says bye! o/
 

My opinion is that this site has tremendously improved since Nokia basically left, and the loss of one valued participant doesn't kill the rest of the great things happening.

Re: Stskeeps says bye! o/
 

I REALLY hope your totally out of line her but atm. I also begining to wonder :S

Re: Stskeeps says bye! o/
 

Stskeeps is leaving... that is hard :(
Thanks for all your work and help and have a nice time.

Re: Stskeeps says bye! o/
 

Sad. Very sad. And it was so obvious from his first day that af*ckface_uk should have been banned for life. Oh well.

See you on the other side!

Re: Stskeeps says bye! o/
 

No forum without proper moderation can avoid situations such as this one. By proper moderation I mean that off-topic, offensive, illegal, etc. posts should be removed immediately and users should be punished with 1-day ban for first time, then 7-day ban, and if necessary permanent ban.

I have seen XDA becoming too rotten over years and then proper moderation solved this issue. I am certain it would do good to TMO as well.

Good bye Stskeeps and thank you very much for your work!

Re: Stskeeps says bye! o/
 

hey stskeeps \o .. you were an honest community member. Thanks for all the work on maemo, and the current work going on meego.
Good luck :)

Re: Stskeeps says bye! o/
 

Guys and gals, he's gone and though it's sad, I'm sure he's in a better place. A place with blue skies and green pastures. And possibly without trolls too! :(.

Anyway, I'd like to say thanks to Stskeeps for that inspirational post that I think probably formed the basis of the "Hacking your Existence..." talk he gave. By far the best post I've read on here in my short time on the site. But I'll be damned if I can find the post to link here.

Thank you Stskeeps.

Re: Stskeeps says bye! o/
 

We remember you always good luck.................

Re: Stskeeps says bye! o/
 

Stskeeps... we've had our battles, but through it all, you kept your integrity.

Luck on any and all of your future endeavors. You, unlike many (myself inclusive) will be missed.

Take care.

It just hit me. I was named; thus I'll be blamed. Damn.

Re: Stskeeps says bye! o/
 

there there *pat pat* I'd miss you :)

Re: Stskeeps says bye! o/
 

No fish for you! :p

Seriously, I understand but regret your choice. Still, it's yours to make.

See you around MeeGo.

Re: Stskeeps says bye! o/
 

Although i accept/understand your departure it is a damn sad decision for all of us. You have been one of the most valued contributor of TMO. Damn sad to hear you are leaving...

Re: Stskeeps says bye! o/
 

there's an ignore list for a reason :)

Re: Stskeeps says bye! o/
 

Another (good) one bites the dust. Shame :(

Re: Stskeeps says bye! o/
 

Also want to say thanks :), see you somewhere else :)

And wanted to add that this is seen on many forums, the good guys leave when the *******s get to much, and i understand you in full strides, i too have left a forum after being dumped on after contributed alot, i don't have any problems here on maemo luckily.

See you on the flip side.

Re: Stskeeps says bye! o/
 

many of your posts have helped me learn and to love this platform. thank you very much. all the best in your endeavours.

and you just need a break; so do come back. ha
