Anticipated HWBOT Rev. 4 changes
 

Wow, just wow. No comment cause its been said before....

does anyone get whats changing? do you need a pHd for this shit now or what, feels like the US government with all these new laws and shit

lol nice chew just accused us of hw sharing

Perfect. I have a feeling that this will be the final nail in my teams coffin.:thumbdown:

why do they think manufacturers are going to be all over this? I dont think that they really care in all honesty about it.

Screw it mr.scott I think what you guys do is epic regardless of your point standings. Who knows rev5 you guys might be dominating rofl.

We appreciate that Al. We have a "nitch market" in what we do. We know we'll never be big, but that was never our goal. We simply wanted to show that you can still hang with the big dogs on multi generation old hardware if you know what you're doing. We pretty much accomplished that, yet, I still feel the need to bench. I just like to do it, and this is the only game in town to post for comparison.

BOYCOTT THE BOT
BOYCOTT THE BOT
etc

rev5 no more teams.... each CPU you bench is its own team

divide and conquer?

Maybe they are wanting to do away with teams all together and make it a huge rat-race to the top, leaving only the manuf. sponsored teams. Sure looks that way sometimes.

..oh well, head down, still benching like I want to, eff them... eff them in the aye.... rofl

Either that, or we all buy the top of the line hardware, and ship it off to whoever is hottest on the team at the moment. That one person could bin CPUs and GPUs and grab all the points. Then we would all get our original stuff back and put it up for sale :D

See there's a silver lining under each dark cloud - YEAH!!!

How many manufacturers just started teams anyway? I know ASUS just did...

This looks like a way to milk them for money and in return put them atop the bot with ease.

...yup. Looks like we do not market well enough for the manufacturers...

I posted over dere.

I say it here too... 3 months after rev 4 is instituted number of teams will jump 4-5X.

im rather shocked and dismayed over this whole scenario. im not at all sure what their objective is and how this revision will bring them close to that objective. if rev4 goes ahead like this, and im dead serious, we need to organize another online competition site

I think that creating a less convoluted sanctioning body is definitely in order.

Thanks to my fed ally for his support of my viewpoint over there:thumbsup:

YAY!

+1, we need steponz here, :)

We share similiar views Rommy. Continue to read there. I kinda put him on the spot.

Seems to be boiling down to a pure money thing in my eyes.

You hit the nail on the head man.

Upcoming conclusion...Massman really is a piss ant....

I see a smaller, more European bot emerging....

Oh God this is not good. WTF are they thinking? I guess its all about the money. Crap.

When I mentioned pay to play option you could hear crickets chirping lol...:taunt:

Like i said. It's getting to be like kiddie baseball over there. No winner and no loser. Hell might as well lets us share team members while we're at it to even things up a bit more.

Thunder rolling in the distance...;)

Who knows whats really going on over there, just remember that this is a proposed change due out in 2011. For all intents and purposes it could be complete rubbish and some perverted wacked out form of European Propoganda to draw interest from their membership.

Do keep a class act up tho guys, if the bot goes teh way fo the DohDoh bird, we'll band together to get a new venue sorted adn we will always have the forums.

Decisions have already been made Kal...I just can't resist the opportunity to poke Mass in the eye with sharp pointy objects sometimes. :taunt:

Just wanted to point out there still is a contest going on here with time remaining.... :)

I can't call it and not going to try. I read a few post but said f it because what it is is what it is. Nothing I can do. I either play or don't play. Until something better comes along I have to play. LOL at Chew*'s remarks!!! Looks like he is still salty OCA zoomed by his team. :green3:

Yah, I think he still buys the notion that we all shared a bunch of 5870's a while back. It's not even worth a rebutal. I'm sure people are gonna look at all the xeon chips we've been buying and think the same thing as well. Regardless, I won't be goated into another debate over it.

@ the whole Hwbot Rev 4. thing. Bummer. :thumbdown:

I have a few choice words I could say but have to keep it clean and professional, well somewhat professional. ;)

I'll be holding my words till the right time, if that time every avails itself.

Looks dumb.

Wish they would stop trying to respond to the bitchers. Fact is, people always complain.

Remember the argument that they can't possibly police ES hardware, so why bother?

These different categories with varying levels of support and cooling. Oh..my...gawd. The policing nightmare they're opening is frightening.

On the upside, maybe this will totally kill hwbot participation completely and force them to actually listen with two ears to the Overclocking Community for once.

Or

Maybe someone will get motivated to create a new online overclocking venue with bigger bells and whistles.

^ ;)

Who said romulans are not as smart as Vulcans? Not me for sure.

Dude, your post was the most insightful and level headed I saw about the changes, on the first couple of pages (not going to sift through the other 8 pages that popped up while I was gone).

Well spoken and played sir:Hi:

EDIT: I am totally against the change as only the top guys will get to compete anymore, everyone else is nothing.

This is going to make people have teams but submit as individuals or small teams of 2-4 members. JM2C

somebody stop me, I fell into a chew* troll trap.... and I'm feeling saucy.
