First thriller episode of F1 is hardly comparable to this situation here Bill... Nick made some big errors from the start ( deviating form his own rules, under manufacturer pressure ? mostly arranged behind the scenes) Flaws that he never publicly admitted. Plus he avoided any input to get the league better from participating members, bystanders and Hwbot crew... and yes in the end it all turned against him.
As it seems Hwbot crew was already tinkering with the different league a while back. But are maybe awaiting the right time to imply it.
Thing is : this split up will be a shocker to many again, just as the new revision was. After a few weeks/months the dust will settle and most won't even look back. Though those that end up in the pro league and don't have the capacity/money/... to compete will be bashing the forum...
In my defence... getting loads of review gear. (though not much ends up under Phase/LN2 , unless it's for a quick run of max Bclock,... to get some nice screenies in the reviews.) does that qualify me as a Pro. some might think so, I don't think I'm a Pro. I can't even voltmod
It has to be well discussed between the crew and then passed on to us the clockers who will and won't be in the Pro league. What are valid arguments to be classified directly in the pro league ? Freebies, doing some live events ? LN2 usage ? Voltmodding skills ? Top scores ? Global points ? Hardware points ? That's what we need to discuss now, not what happenend in the past...
Get a drink, smoke a ciggie and get some air Bill, you are far too tense at the moment to think 100% rationally... Try a positive approach to this then just...
We need to get data together now of what will be a valid argument for who is and is not to be in the league... Help the crew out there, I know you can do it !
