Yes, Mr. Scott indeed dug for the truth and got stung but that only confirms my thoughts about it.
My post states it and the reply that was given only serves to further confirm things. The catch right now is HWbot is the only game in town - The solution would be for another "Bot" to appear, free of corporate involvement. I do know a site like that would be a full time job to manage but it could be done.

I made my post as tactful as possible, yet got my point across and the reply was half-hearted. It's clear he's no longer in full control of the site's direction and now is being told what the site will do or else.
He didn't really try to take me at issue with it, more like do his part and cover the tracks since he knows that's the real deal going down. Corporations doing a sponsorship will expect a return for their investment/sponsorship and if you don't produce or do as instructed, you get cutoff, plain and simple. Doesn't matter if some are being favored or not, that's what they want and serves to further the agenda for the site as planned. It's no suprise the names of a few sponsors appeared when rev 3 was implemented and now this.

You do the math and see how things add up.

Between our sites, we can be and are a real threat to the big names out there. Nothing like having a "nobody" showup and stomp a mudhole in your latest offering with an older piece of hardware on lesser cooling/methods/whatever and that's happened already between our site's members actually doing it. :D
I mean look at what you guys have done lately.
Great stuff. :good:

Get rid of these threats and it's business as usual = $$.

As for my involvement, I'll wait and see what goes.

Are you fucking kidding me? "Yeah, lets make teams almost completely pointless so that we can Bring teams together in bench sessions, barring of course that most teams have members spread across the world"

Who is the genius behind this... Travis was telling me about another Hardware ranking site that was on the rise with some 2-3 thousand users currently, I might have to start supporting them and boycotting HWBot, where you can only support it buy lightening your wallet...

I havn't logged into HWBot in a few days and just found out about this, and now I am hopping around the store in a furious nerd rage induced shit storm of HWBot hatred... I'm waiting for Travis to come back from a service call so I can jump his shit and vent some anger as to why he let Massman do this! We have a nearly full 230 liter tank of LN2 and now I am completely unmotivated to bench anything..

Oh really. What's the name of this site?

Yes, please do tell.:)

ripping.org had a database or world records but I do not beleive they are around anymore.

this is really tickling me to reconsider things...

All gone. It was run by a couple guys that now work for HWBot. That sites been gone for almost a year.

we need a new ocdb
