Hey guys im not around here much in the forum. After this many years of benching I've learned to stfu and bench.

I have friends on both sides of this argument and luckily my scores are never good enough to matter in this regard.

I think that we need to lose the gentleman's agreement to not post sandbags for 24 hours. For 2 reason. There are not enough gentlemen here for it to matter. And two who does this help? The companies that really dont support this place much at all beyond bitching when something doesnt fall their way?

Hwbot is dying and this is what people are arguing about? Maybe they could help save it instead. Also, sending your favorite set of clowns a mobo every gen is not supporting hwbot. We are beating a dead horse here and a community is getting destroyed so these companies can have PR and marekting for a site they dont help run.

Is the end game having use all hate each other to the point hwbot closes, then the company with the most reach can make whatever world record claims they want? Starting to feel that way.

Sub what you want, when you want. Follow the normal rules, have fun. Dont shit where you eat.

HWbot in a nutshell

This was my last reply on the matter in the mail loop: fyi initially only one vendor never agreed to this gentleman's agreement...

Morning all, well seems that a few still think differently. Sadly there was no way to set it in stone as some vendor did not want HWBOT to control their PR activity. To me a very strange way of approaching things as this would actually give the PR people a bit more time to get things sorted.

But yeah it is what it is, apparantly some things will never change, at least that's an established standard in this community. The toxicity level is for some still mind-blowing. Pointing fingers on the socials doesn't help either gents. 

So if you want to stick to our initial plan, kuddos to you. At least you want to try to make a change. Thanks to the others for not adhering I guess and making it another epic fail episode for our little niche community.

Alby over and out...

Sad to say but Splave has a point.. 11K benchers this year btw.. arrogence and thinking your shit dont stink wont keep hwbot stay afloat.. its fine being competitve but least act like a decent human being even if you aren't.. subbing daily should be fine. getting more benchers is what people should be trying to do as well.. I promote Hwbot all the time on my channel and have gotten lots of new benchers this year. but sadly I dont see a whole lot of other benchers doing the same. Also this : "Splave I think that we need to lose the gentleman's agreement to not post sandbags for 24 hours. For 2 reason. There are not enough gentlemen here for it to matter. And two who does this help? The companies that really dont support this place much at all beyond bitching when something doesnt fall their way?" muchly agree.. its suppose to be a competive "sport" so why do we need to hold back?? All in all Hwbot benchers need to just calm the f down and bench so many slackers this year and last year.. quit crying and get some benching done!
