Sorry to double post, but I think you guys would love the new HCE @hwbot. Im a member of the staff/development forums there so I can fill in some "top secret details." Please dont leak it around out of respect to hwbot crew (I only post here cuz this is a closed forum).

Members will be able to setup competitions restricting clocks, hardware, etc. Give it a customized Title (I.e. OCA 32M LCC 2009) and the winners will get specialized trophys for their hwbot profiles. hwbot sponsored contests the winners will get hwboints too (or compboints or sometihng). Its going to be a very cool platform for sure!

THx for the inside scoop brother, we're honored

I posted in the hwbot forums when I first caught wind of this new engine and details were pretty much SHHHHHH DON"T TELL, lol. It sounds very cool, interesting and awesome. When we first opened up shop here at Overclockaholics, we were kicking around the idea of approaching Rich to license the hwbot code for mini-competitions and to track our members benchmarks here at overclockaholics.com. If you get a chance to discuss it with him, see if it'd be feasible to implement a small engine for forums like us to have a site specific ranking system for our members.

They are going to implement a function that users can submit for verification/validation on hwbot but it will update the proper user forums, based on some sort of API set. I.e. you will submit on the bot but the "bot" will update OCA with screenshots and hardware info. Very cool idea for sure.

I would be really doubtful that RB would license the hwbot code to anyone, unless it was in a smaller restricted/neutered form. Even if he was willing to do so, hes such a busy guy you wouldnt see it till 2011 probably lol.

Yah, I was thinking of a small watered down engine for license to forums. But I also realized the code load he's under and said F-it, we'll keep track by hand, lol.
