  1. Send the bill to massman or blame yourself for not asking :) - the stage was designed from the start for ddr1-4 in the original concept and the fact people always search loopholes and don´t ask because they are afraid to lose the loophole advantage is common but also has sometimes the consequence people fail... I asked several times for clarification before the start but well...

     

    P.S. which initial post do you mean? This one that states ddr1-4 a couple of days ago?

    As said, ask Pieter, all I can do is make clean concepts, ask for fixes if I see something is not explicit enough, but I cannot run after it 24/7 when I have 1k results at challengers i have to check and other stuff to do

     

    Well considering its impossible to guess what your main intent was and while i understand your point about people trying to get slick with hardware this is NOT one of those times.

    For instance the dell 8100 desktop is pretty damn mainstream. NOT server. This board is a desktop not a server.

    Loophole? Thats not even a valid point given the situation.

     

    I took the time to try and make a point to help show a problem to make things better and if that not worth your time. So be it.

     

    The main comp page is not updated. And while i was obviously kidding about the refund i do have a valid point.

    The pages i looked at are still as they were and here are the screenshots.

     

    If you were looking at the rules and went thru all the pages posted on the oc site what would you think was allowed? all memory. sipps sims dimms sdram rd ram whatever.

    It was far from clear because frankly that's insulting to everyone that had to come here and ask basic questions. Its much easier to suggest they were looking for loopholes than to admit it could have been defined up front.

     

    But lately it seems that things are made up as they go along. I for one appreciate your work. I try to stand up for you guys but on the same token i expect you to do the same and not feel attacked when i make a valid point or be told "Go ask Massman ". I wont be asking and i wont be subbing the board. You posted the answer after the contest started but i accept it as i always do.

     

    Anyway blaming someone is not my idea of a good time. Solving problems is. I was a tech during rdram so to me its common place. ill continue to treat you with respect. I expect the same. Peace.

     

    p.s. You have an incredibly hard and thankless job. I could not do it. I lack the skill set. Some of us appreciate what you do and respect your decisions. I may not understand them and question why but in the end your call is good enough for me. There is no need to go further on this matter. Thanks for your time and sorry for the drama. Sunset1

  2. Hello

    :)

     

    I bet eternity can wait.

     

    You will use them sooner or later in an Old School Cup

     

    Well to be honest i refused to buy them when they came out. The price diff was extreme and i waited all these years but decided to due to the team cup.

     

    The board tho looks to be a sweet find.. to bad it will sleep cpu-less for a while ;>

  3. ddr1-4, fb dimm is ddr2 and rdram is different technology

     

    Thanks for making this clear but it is after the start of the competition and now that i have purchased a motherboard and memory for this specific stage based on the initial post

    ( i was still researching the cpu )

     

    Who do i send the bill to for the hardware that was only to be used in this competition?

    Every time you guys make a change it helps one team and hurts another.

     

    Similar to the allowing of server chips in 939. People have to buy hardware asap to compete in some of the areas so changing those rules after the competition starts ( or clarifying

    to eliminate some hardware ) has a economic hardship for many.

     

    This also brings up the reason for the change as every change hurts or helps people with that specific hardware.

     

    Say hello to my new motherboard and ram. That will likely sit in a drawer for eternity now.

    Mixed Lot of 9 RDRAM RAMBUS | Samsung & NEC brands | 64MB, 128MB, 256MB | T 5613 | eBay

     

    ABIT TH7-RAID Socket 423 Pentium 4 Mainboard PCI AGP new motherboard pc parts | eBay

     

    I sat on this message and rewrote it or it would have been posted yesterday.

  4. I can definitely see both sides and I have to say Leeghoofd has much thicker skin than me .. and has a thankless job.

    I think he has done a great job at trying to be transparent.

    No one wants their score questioned or taken down as it feels like you are being cheated.

    The mods job is never easy and yes i'm sure they could use some help.

    No one that i know wants Bullant to leave as he is a valuable asset here and I hope he comes back.

    As a former irc mod i know how important it also is to ask questions to resolve any possible problems and help resolve future problems.. but

    one thing we don't want to do is create a situation where people threaten to quit ( I don't mean bullant ) to get the mods to back off because

    that is not going to help an already frustrating situation. I hope bullant comes back. And if there is a problem with the way his score was dealt with .. things happen. lets move forward.

  5. I am afraid to sell on ebay due to this. I have bought items and i always try to be fair. But ebay almost always sides with buyer.

    As a group of people that use ebay a LOT i think it may be worth doing a poll ? of how many people here have had the same thing happen.

    Who knows it might help your case. Id be happy to sign or post a statement.
