As more than 95% of the new submissions made in the past year were made using the online submission form instead of bots scanning forums, we decided to drop support for the bot scanning as of 1 Octobre 2009. This will free up a lot of resources so we can improve hwbot development for new features instead of patching the bot.
The bot functionality will not be removed completely, only the scanning feature will be removed. Your forum members will no longer be able to make submissions using the [hwbot][/hwbot] tags, but the bot will still be able to post an up to date ranking in a specified forum post. We will focus our effort in making this process easier and try to support more forums.

No more scanning on forum but rankings post will remain. [/quote] Octobre 1st terminar

dude i dont think ive ever submitted a HWbot entry by the forum bots... so thats cool with me

I never did until recently and ran into a few frustrations with it immediately. For instance, I went to look at my 260 Vantage runs at the bot the other day just for my pictures to get lost somewhere in the process. I dunno where it went wrong but I had uploaded both my single and sli pics with the runs previously just for them to disappear.
