erickongIt really doesn't take that much to run a forum. Moderating's the hard part. Provisioning some space to chat and retain info, that's as simple as paying a monthly fee and clicking a button or two.
I think the reason Drop screwed it up so hard is that they kept trying to game their community with sock puppets and ersatz peer pressure instead of interacting with us as Drop. Way too slick and glib. When people know you're trying to play them, you stop getting the benefit of the doubt -- and that trust, when you get down to it, is what's at the heart of communities. When it's gone everything else stops. Suddenly the default reaction to anything you say stops being 'really?' and starts being 'yeah, right, sure thing asshole.'
The reaction they're getting now is what it looks like when the trust factor disappears. It will take a while and a lot of hard work on the part of Drop staff, answering questions and being legit about stuff, before it starts to come back, and the rub of course is that they might not have that much time left. Some of them look like they're trying, and I hope they keep at it, but it's really hard to get any sort of warm and fuzzy feeling about Drop right now, especially with all the silence from the rest of them about whatever's going on behind the scenes, and all the staffing churn.
On the other hand I LOVE the fact that other people are stepping up and indicating that they see a value to embracing the communities that have sprung up around Drop. Makes me want to buy something from them.

Work around for firmware/configuration update error "command not recognized"
I spent more than an hour attempting to update my Drop Shift keyboard. I'm not sure what has changed, but I was not able to do it entirely from the Drop website as I had previously done. I have most of the keys configured how I would like, but the default LED function was a very bright, distracting, rainbow wave going across the keyboard. Every time I turned the computer on I had to manually adjust the lights how I liked. Using the online version or the locally installed app, you first have to install the QMK XAP interface. You then have to flash your already configured firmware file, which can be done on the Drop website. If you are logged in your last configuration is saved under your account and you can alter what you like, so you don't have to start from scratch. So, following the instructions I selected the appropriate board, entered bootloader mode, but when attempting to flash the file, I would get an error that the C:/Users/Mike C..... command is not recognized...

Spin the Wheel of Power
You know the story. 3 rings to the Elven-kings. 7 to the Dwarf-lords. 9 to mortal men. And 1 to the Dark Lord. What will your fate be? Spin the Wheel of Power to see where you land on the ring of prizes. Regardless of the outcome, be sure to take a look at the Lord of the Rings collection after claiming your prize. You can spin the wheel a maximum of three times, but much like those who have worn the Ring of Power—there's no turning back after that button is clicked. How did the journey go for you? Share your spoils below.

Drop Keyboard Club Questions
Hello everyone! I'm looking to join DKC, but I have a few questions. The first day of November has already passed. Will I still get the coupon for November immediately after signing up today (Nov. 10)? What is the definition of Mechanical Keyboard products? Will the coupon apply to desk mats? I believe it should apply to everything listed under this category? For orders under $79, the coupon will be converted to a percentage discount. Will the percentage discount apply to all mechanical keyboard items in an entire order, or it can only be applied to a single mechanical keyboard item in the order? Thanks in advance!
