Kaapstad?

Glad to hear he's fine, but good point here.
Is this the end of any updates to the benchmarking threads on this forum?
Still no sign of our beloved Kaapstad. Still not logged on since May 2023.
Safe to say he's doing something other than just 'touching grass' because 'the hardware is boring'.
So many benchmark threads / owner threads / etc left to lie fallow.
Perhaps OCUK should assign a willing mod or two to render a similar service to us that Kaapstad did for free. Can't be a terrible burden to the job description (I'm assuming they're paid for their work), and it enhances the forum massively.

Shame. What Kaapstad did had value in making this forum attractive and interesting, and presumably this entire forum is only allowed to exist because it has indirect commercial value to OCUK by drawing a PC hardware enthusiast community here / converting people into PC hardware enthusiasts.
I do wonder whether some of my upgrades were influenced by the wide variety of scoreboards available under Kaapstad. I certainly know my overclocking was. I became obsessed with getting a 100 FPS average in the SOTTR bench at 3440x1440 after getting oh so close, and was chuffed when I achieved it with OCing
If I were to do something similar (which I definitely won't as I don't have the time or expertise for it) I'd limit people to say one submission every 3 months per benchmark. I can only guess there's other magic those with the knowledge could use via Google Docs / external form submissions in some way that would make keeping benchmark scoreboards on the forum simpler and more efficient, but that's well outside my area of expertise.
