It's in general on Monday for the hard of reading. Suspect it will be the first and last time though.The saltiness of people is strong on this thread ...I'm waiting for most of us to grab a card at some point...But makes it worse my lad needs a new card for his small rig and I'm only running a 980ti atm ,Must keep on chatting for that 1000 thresholdbut it will be in the general forum way before I reach 1000 posts
....
OcUK did well with putting stock in with the 3d printers, enabled lots of forum members to get a gpu, spoilt by people spreading the news on discords/forums.
OcUk introduced MM voucher, I read several people very unhappy about this, even saying its damaging OcUk reputation.
Seems some people aren't happy with OcUk trying to get gamers at least one new series card
Still no proof though. The mod team can’t act on ‘its obvious’
Why would the seller give a ‘*’ what the buyer is using it for?
I could not agree more, can't wait for the crash. Nothing but contempt for these greedy, selfish people at the moment. Everyone knows theres a shortage and they still bot every site and buy multiple GPUs anyway.
I'm very happy there is a place like OCUK where they are at least trying to get this stuff into the hands of real gamers, who will use this tech as it is intended.
For some of us this is a hobby we've had for years and it's just being decimated by resellers and miners (I realise there is a chip shortage, but there's no denying when bots buy 1000+ cards in a matter of minutes that is not the same demand we've experienced for the last 10 years).
People with multiple 3060s,3070s,3080s buying them purely to resell or use in mining rigs.
Meanwhile we are scurrying around trying to get 1 GPU to finish off a new build to play some games, having to fight with bots on every site setup by those mentioned above!
So again thanks to ocuk for trying to help us out!

Bots are capable of reading captchas, in some cases they do it better than humans.
Definitely an excellent idea. I am close to buying a pre-built just to get a new card (rig is getting a bit older now so not a terrible idea) but if I can get a new GPU on its own for a reasonable price that is great.
I had also never heard about the free delivery reward for forum members, I've been around a few years but never had a forum account!
Here's hoping to getting a card on the next drop! Ignore all the haters as you will never please everyone.

Can you prove it was from a code ? As I have seen a few Zotac drops from a other well known store
I knew about the free delivery, but was never going to make it before having to buy a large amount of OCUK of my current build (didn't have any parts to work with, most came from ocuk). But joined anyway, since it was useful to ask here about that new build and ideas of what to get. Then stuck around, and eventually got MM access, which has doubly paid off this month with some 2nd hand speakers and a brand new 6700xt card!
Haven't got much from the MM (think the speakers will be my first), but if I had some more liquid cash, and didn't feel guilty getting packages
, I'd have definitely grabbed some other stuff too!

Nice, seems its a worthwhile asset.
I have been meaning to post up my 8 month long Home Theater room build from scratch for a year so now... Documented it all but never got around to writing it up. I guess that could be something I can contribute to the forum... That and Service Provider networking knowledge
Maybe in a year or 2 I might have those extra privileges. Maybe I was blind to it but I don't ever remember seeing it being advertised on the main shop site but oh well.
When you make claims that the mods banned you for something silly, I'm sorry that's just plain wrong and insulting.
And what's making new accounts got to do with it? Plus they're not allowed either.
And no ego thanks, just fed up with some users trying to act whiter than white and it's far from the truth of the situation
Instead of getting personally offended why don't you offer a way to resolve it? Instead you've had to let this chap suggest that for you.
Had this account since I think November or October, never felt the need to post but I'm glad y'all implemented this even though its gonna take like... A year to get 1000 posts. Is there no way to sit in a queue just to get one? I assume I'm going to have to wait for months anyway. Apparently it says I joined Thursday
The shop staff will know of one was shipped to a danny westhead from st helens tho.
