Any chance you give us a 5mins heads up on the quiet? So it gives forum members that desperately need a new card to get a look in ? ...before the scalpers bots take all the stock Or is it the case of one one per household and IP Address only etc ?Keep an eye on 3D printer section today, I shall make some 3070's available on and off.

Perhaps, but the benefit gained from offering cards to a very small section of the customer base would no doubt be vastly outweighed by the administration overhead, and the resentment from every other forum member who wants a card and doesn't qualify. There's literally no reason for OCUK to do this beyond extremely short-term happiness to a small number of established forum contributors.
Man, the situation not just with the global supply of GPUs, but even cardboard!? I mean imagine the demand for cardboard globally... the mind boggles. We need real-world solutions for real-world problems.
If we can't think of a good solution to the world's shortage of cardboard... I can't help but keep thinking we're all doomed.
In the mean time, I'll keep spamming that F5 key on 3d printers until my finger gets gangrene...

I think giving a heads-up 5 minutes before makes sense. In any case bots are already following the 3D printer section, so the likelihood of seeing it before a bot is unlikely..
The other option is that the items are placed in another obscure category so bots at least don't flag up on it.
I have no skin in the game personally, I've got what I want!

Italian here... I don't know what you're talking about with those inches, yards...You give an inch...
Sorry... "dai un pollice, loro prendono un miglio"Italian here... I don't know what you're talking about with those inches, yards...
My Italian Google translate skills are a tad rusty. You give an inch, they take a mile... the meaning is self explanatory
I'm usually a lerker and never lost but the 3000 series got me posting.
Read all the posts here and I think the staff have done a good job given the lack of resources and the amount of jazz they are having to deal with #thecustomerisnotalwaysright
