The lack of traffic here is another one, still check in from time to time, but TBH it seems like not as many stop into say hi now adays, As Duke said just to say hello and let us know your alive would be cool.

The new rules at the bot really work against a team such as our who's members are mostly cutting edge, allowing only one score from each peice of hardware is tough on us when 10 or 15 of us are benching latest and greatest and typically held several spots on the top ten or twenty harwared groups , That's when we were dominant

It is what it is and it seems like many have said eff the new bot ..... I am not ready to throw in the towel yet but between the new house renovation and and College tuition for my son my benching budget has been reduced significantly, What is even more effed up is now they are talking about disqualifing one of the best Z77 boards out there

Last but not least Ln2 is the minimum requirement and a ton of fun but here I pay $ 2.25 a liter ........... :shock:

All I can say to all you absent members is stop in and say hello, no one cares if it is about benching or just saying hello, pulling a no show is rude IMO. Take the 5 minutes

And what the hell happened to the T-Shirts .......... :Dizzy:

So here I am stopping to to say hello and hope to be back in the game on time for the 780 release. So all you binners out there don't be surprised if you see me in your PM box looking for a half decent second hand chip .............. :)

As far as the bot is concerned they are becoming the victim of their own demise and will someday not exist because of their petty rules. I would love to see Asus come up with some sort of online benching forum. They would put HWBot to shame i am sure. But the chances of that are slim since like other manufacturers they too are concerned about the bottom line at the end of the day.
