It's worse than Coronavirus. Contagious bugger.

It relates to a thread that a mod pulled from another topic area that I created to try and make helping users out more efficient, he disagreed upon it but then now saying avatar pics should be mandatory yet filling system specs shouldn't be?

You both are too kind

There I was just thinking I'm a crazy guy with far too much hardware here!! :laugh:

@Lorec you know it!!

It was another pants day as well today... rain and being dull doesn't help keep me in free electric for all the servers and rigs to help crunch WCG !!

I need to get my monitoring system sorted out as well sooner rather than later... Loosing too much data on what I'm producing daily!!

Boatvan · Feb 22, 2020
