[HWBOT is bias]

well i had arranged to have a nice GPU given away for hwbot members, i recived this email back from hwbot

 

Hello Casey,

 

Thanks for inquiring Mass Luminosity to give away a nice prize at

hwbot. We love community give-aways!

 

However, we don't want to hold competitions that have as only

objective to raise the popularity of an external site. In this

particular case, the Facebook page of Mass Luminosity. How generous

the give-away might be, it does not relate to anything we do with

hwbot apart from serving a community.

 

Best regards,

 

Pieter.

 

 

now with that said, i guess there should be no more prizes from gigabyte, msi, g.skill. etc. as each contest that requires you to use specific brand name hardware, only serves to raise popularity of that brand. with that said bias is proven thanks hwbot for removing my previous post announcing the giveaway, i will be sure to exclude notification of any future giveaways. thanks for proving to me what i suspected from the begining...

how are enthusiast class OCers supposed to compete against people running LN2, kind of a one sided competition, no offence to the people who do use extreme cooling methods such as LN2, its just unfair to the enthusiast class to be placed in competition with people thats sporting LN2
