There's a lot more, but i just thought it was amusing how they just ripped it straight from OcUK's rules.
 
Why bother making something up when another rival has a working system? I wouldn't imagine it's a problem, I mean all the info here is on public display if you catch my drift.
 
I think OcUK might be the biggest computing/tech related community in the UK... just thought it was amusing that competitors are not only jealous, they stole the rules verbatim. :p
 
Is it still there? I just had a look at the most likely culprits and their forum rules seem to have disappeared...
 
There is a site that sells Hardware, And they just copy and paste ALL of ocuk descriptions, even when ocuk sold the 4870x2 with a copy of grid that was included in other sites description and it didnt come with grid.
