Can you elaborate what you mean by sponsored there ?
Sponsored = benching hardware that is not always my own
or
sponsored = being paid and expected of getting good results?

AFAIK it doesn't have anything to do with being sponsored or not.
Vince mentioned something about a new HWbot team almost a year ago in a PM, and as far as I can tell this is it.
Coding 24/7... Limited forums/PMs time.

Not really much of a shocker at this point in time. Honestly, I would say XS was lucky to have him aboard as long we did.

imo if you are sponsored you shouldnt be playing for points. go for world records but 99.9% of the people actually have to buy their ownand its just not fair to get your ass kissed and roll the competition.
Theres different levels of sponsorship. I get company support but not with components for No.1 spots.......
(thats not a moan... I get to do my job with less pressure)

Sometimes, it's not your time. Sometimes, you have to make it your time. Sometimes, it can ONLY be your time.
I totally agree with Bobby, especially in today's economic climate.

He has retired in the past already. People didn't want him to stop pushing hardware to the absolute limit then, I see no difference now.imo if you are sponsored you shouldnt be playing for points. go for world records but 99.9% of the people actually have to buy their own

You seem to forget that 99% of those sponsored did just that on there own pockets for a very long time.......imo if you are sponsored you shouldnt be playing for points. go for world records but 99.9% of the people actually have to buy their own
There is also a huge amount of pressure. The grass is not greener on the other side.

+1 - in fact the grass is anxiety inducing on that side
And just to add anyone can do it, Vince didn't get there by sitting on his ass. He is affiliated with companies because he kicked everyones ass when he was playing this game alone
oh the irony hey chew* heheh
bobby do you think money spending actually stops once you start getting *free* hardware
i hope you dont catch this bug mate cause this is never ending
Heh yah the irony is a bugger.
I think this past month alone I spent a good $400...ram, waterblocks,hard drives ( can never have to many ).
Who wants my bill alone for kneaded rubber eraser in a month?

He was gonna join Overclockaholics but it was a lil fast paced
^^^^^^^^
Yah, that didn't fly very far did it?No matter, best of clocks to the new hwbot team
Sponsors are welcomed anytime...
They give you some kind of "breath" when you need it some times, they don't give you World Records - YOU make the WRs....
I - for example - have paid SO MUCH hardware out of my pocket that you can't even imagine.
There were times in the past (and yes I'm ashamed to confess it) that I didn't have to buy food to eat or cigarettes to smoke, ONLY because I have spent my money to buy a CPU/VGA/etc...
It's like drugs or gambling...
So let k|ngp|n alone to move on with his life/dreams and you all keep on benching...
P.S. and remember my words : "If your dream dies, you die"
INTEL PWA FOR EVER
