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.
I mean look at what you guys have done lately.
Great stuff.
Get rid of these threats and it's business as usual = $$.
As for my involvement, I'll wait and see what goes.
