  1. Yay points for everyone!!! Sounds like better things to come. The hardware grinders should have their place too. Good ideas.
  2. I should come in crying more often eh??!! Nice job gents. On the right track!!
  3. Thank you sir Der8auer! Would be nice to have some more frequent updates on the progress, ideas and inspiration from you. That's all we really ask for. Keep us informed, we can live happy with that!
  4. or just bug fixes to what's currently running
  5. Unfortunately, Alby leaving isn't my concern. That's HWBot's concern. Our team's concern is keeping my team optimistic and hopeful. With a 15 month total wait time for any improvements or just bug fixes to what's currently running, plus the years already before hand, my team is dwindling. Replacing star benchmarking individuals is super difficult as it is. Need to teach recruits from the ground up. And then there's no competition left for the few extreme benchers of the world. We cannot maintain a team with nothing to look forward to. We cannot maintain a team with diminishing interests to spend hard earned money on this hobby. We have literally nothing to hold our team together except hopes and dreams at this point. We can only hope an 8 month time line is a fact. Generally, I say nothing. But I'm tired of reading that my team mates are ready to retire. That's sad coming from Team ranked #2 in the world isn't it? Competition is gone. Teams are so heavily unbalanced as it is..... On and on we can go of the things of WHY it's not working.
  6. 8 more months... Can you define first gear? What exactly is the phase 1 plan? Why does the public remain in the dark? Why can't we fix the current bugs now? That's 15 months from OP to first gear. Let the issues just keep piling? We're benching in the dark over here. Just want you to know and acknowledge that. (To whom it may concern)
  7. This is super important. We are having trouble keeping team members interested in continuing the competitive overclocking sport/hobby. Concerns of closure due to non profitable business transactions and/or lack thereof, leads many to believe the worst. Many people are no longer optimistic with little to no feedback, many in the community guessing "that's it, you're at the end" is a sufficient way to describe an outcome.
  8. 3215 users this season submitted (2020)
  9. Ehh. I've been holding my breath for Half Life 3 and died a few times along the way....
  10. Ah well. I have all my screen shots saved. Even the ones that where a lead to my final submission here. I'll fill the OC museum at Warp9-systems with them to preserve. You all are more than welcome to fill our museum. And you dont have to worry about filling out a form or silly rules. It's just for show and tell. Again, that's Warp9-systems OC museum. Hope to see some of you guys pop in some subs!!
  11. The way I read it, Alby leaves, nobody is left to take care of things and HWBot folds.
  12. Thank you Alby. Just thank you. I've enjoyed Bot for many years. Thank you. That's all I got left. Just Thanks dude.
  13. Lol. Whatever. It shouldn't even be part of the discussion from veterans any ways. Still all for gamers taking interest in hwbot. Compare gaming benchmarks is what kids want to see. YouTube gaming comparisons is probably some of the most watched tech videos. It ain't about the cheats but bringing some variety.
  14. That was my point.... we'd know if cheats where used
  15. I don't need to catch you, the submissions have moderation. And they KNOW exactly when something doesn't look right. OK, so the benchmarks that DO give points across the board are known stable and consistent Gaming benchmarks would just help bring people to HWBot. But if you want to venture off to gaming cheats vs benchmark cheats, you're in the wrong section of the forums for that. HWBot isn't a gaming platform, but should cater to the benchmark, which, if I'm not mistaked, "auto aim cheats" simply just do not apply. Anyways, you'd get caught cheating here. If you want to have a challenge and put cheats to use, try the socket 462 platform and see if you can even touch the legitimate benchmark submissions first, then we'll talk.
  16. 99% of people don't take the time to cheat. We all know who did cheat in the past. We all know (for the most part) when a score looks completely out of whack. We all know the cooling categories are cool, but using Dice and saying it's "chilled liquid" is bullshit. It's a bullshit excuse to over complicate something that people should have ease of access. Yes BenchMate can focus on this aspect, but really needs 100% implementation to work. It needs to be able to fill out the entry for completely and truly so that it's a viable approach to a situation that's not getting better. ____ Then, nobody really knows about HWBot. What some 2000 people might actively benchmark every year out of 7.5 BILLION people on the planet at least half with some sort of access to a computer??? It's a Niche thing that had a hey day like bell bottoms. We can hope it comes back some day. _____ I really think a gaming category to focus on gamers would be a very smart move All in my opinion respectfully.
  17. I can't sell a half working program. The "submit" button is useless. Then the little bugs that come with it. I was getting it to just not work correctly being on the edge of stability. It's counter productive in this aspect. Must be filed to the desktop for the verification pop up to appear. What happened to just set it up and run it, screen shot, put in a little information and done. The stuff in the form that is not required to submit a score should be completely removed. It just makes it cluttered and confusing to new users. People like/need simplicity. We really should head that direction imo.
  18. All that is at every single OC forum that's still around. The OC information is easy to come by. But yet.... all the OC forums are dead. So unless people search specifically for overclocking forums, they find non active or very little activity on these forums. They get the info needed (mostly all OC knowledge is public) and they move on. They don't even register most of the time. But you're right! How do we get people interested in this?? It won't be easy bud.
  19. But that's the thing. I actively look to recruit from the most popular forum in the world right now. 99% of them are just interested in setting up, minimal tweaking and then off to the games. There really is not a lot of interest to overclock. Cpu and Gpu released with no head room. none. Not like back in the day when you could eek out 500mhz from a cpu (on average) and really gain performance percentage figures. ____ So being actively trying to actually FIND and recruit people that take an interest in competitive benchmarking (cooling and scores set aside) seems to be a very limited crowd. Super limited. I've found 1 recruit, brought him aboard and he's enjoying himself. Thankfully. The HWBot thing was the hardest part and we all had to assure and encourage him.. He was getting frustrated with HWBot, rules, submitting legitimately and move on to the next bench. It so hard for a new guy to come along and work with HWBot. Took this gentleman probably a week to get one good legitimate submission in. That sucks. I can't sell that.
