The whole system is now tainted. Its like having your woman cheat on you. Things will never be the same. You will never trust her again and even if you get a new one it will take a long time to gain that self confidence and trust that you won't get fuked over again.

I just know realized this thread KUDOS to you Mr. Scott for the support. We are all now waiting HWbot decision on the hardware sharing.

If they allow that to pass I might as well share my golden i5 670 to everyone here for top 10 places on the bot, ridiculous but fair to what Hiwa and Pippo did...

And just for the record here is when Pippo produced the results with Hiwa's cpu:
(this was admitted by Hiwa on the thread):
- APRIL/2010
http://www.nexthardware.com/recensio...ied-200_11.htm

Then Pippo sent the cpu back to Hiwa and he benched it again and probably still owns the same cpu here:

- MAY/2010

Yes, I still have not recieved word back from Knipperfox on this issue, still waiting....

sad what people will stoop to for a prize. only thing i hate to see worse than a cheater are the people that welcome them back in after the ban is lifted. i dont do any extreme overclocking, but have played in online game tournament where there were prizes, people cheat and get caught, only to be welcomed back a year later by many. most of them regret getting caught, not the action that got them banned. break the golden rule and your name should be trashed permanently. just my opinion.

This is the internet. They'll just come back under a new name and proxy their IP addy. It's a vicious circle, there is no way to stop it.

Bottom line...If I aint having fun, I aint doin it.

Totally on board with that

Just that, there are 2 names which if not welcomed back wud never be able to achieve the same heights
