I may be touchy/feely with Overclockaholics and I'm not alone by a longshot, but its for good reason. It has defined this community as a whole. Like it or not, you boys have been part of this Community for a long time now.

Community is much more than numbers, its relationships, friendships, loyalty, longevity. We are not machines, not bots, we are much more than numbers. Its not "All Bot Business" here. There's a balanced relationship between common overclocking interest in hwbot competition, friendly competition and general pc performance enthusiasm. That is how our team is shaped.

The decision to enter into this merger will be made with much deliberation.

As it should be. I would ask my team members to give OCA the space they need to decide this...
