The way you'd have it, you bench current stuff for points now and drop it forever when the next stuff comes out. How does that encourage newcomers that don't have deep pockets? It doesn't take very long to accumulate 300 HW points if you're into it. We do it because it represents what our small forum is all about, classic platforms, not junk platforms, that still have a use and can still compete in there own way right along side current technology. FWIW, most of us at CP have current rigs also, and have benched those too.
I'm interested to hear exactly what that catagory might be. If it wasn't coming from Rom, I'd almost say it was a backhanded compliment.  |
Didn't say it doesnt deserve points.
