The last couple of months have been filled with late night LN2 bench sessions and overclocks I never thought were possible. The path to #1 in the U.S. was nothing like I thought it would be though.

The big change to our team began last December. The topic of team growth came up as we discussed how to achieve the goal of recruiting good members and eventually overtaking XS for the number 1 spot in the HWbot team rankings. We had discussed a merger earlier in ’09, but had mutually decided the time was not right. Since the Bot had recently changed it’s scoring in its latest revision, Overclockaholics had surged back up to number three directly below us. The time for unity had come. We would only need another 1500bts to overtake XS for the top spot if we unified.

Unfortunately it was not a unanimous decision to merge. We were a great team over at NBOC, but some of the leaders had different views on how to proceed. Ultimately the top eight heavy hitters from NBOC, under the new unit name of “SubZeroSyndicate”, joined the Overclockaholics.com gang to form the “OC Alliance”. Kal-El, the administrator of OCA, has made the transition as smooth as superhumanly possible, big thanks to him. This new alliance seemed to motivate all of us as never before.

Seeing the new Alliance rapidly approaching in their rear view mirror, XS began a benching rally to maintain their lead. This proved to be ineffective as the new Alliance’s momentum was unbelievable. Through the tremendous efforts of our members, and a great community of helpful and knowledgeable benchers, we have succeeded in capturing number one.

Our plan for the future? That ones easy,… bench our asses off with the goal of world domination!

So you see why its been difficult to make the time to publish here recently. I intend to continue pushing the envelope for myself and my team. I also intend to spend more time here writing about this amazing journey. Lets celebrate our victory as we battle our way up through the world ranks. Congrats team OCA!

I felt he would make a great choice and I am sure you will agree, he is always up to any task we ask of him. He has made some awesome contributions graphically to the site as well as solid suggestions in site arrangement. I asked him to consider the position mainly because he is a well informed overclocker and is well known throughout the field.

Both OC and myself will be communicating with the authors regarding their posts, but it will be his primary responsibility to keep the wormhole in tip-top shape. Please keep this in mind if you receive a pm or see your posts “slightly tweaked for better effect”. I think we both realize that you guys are overclockers first, and authors somewhere else down the line, so we are just here to help.

My gratitude and appreciation go out to ocgmj for accepting this position and helping all of us achieve our goals. I am sure he looks foward to all of our contributions as much as I do, Thanks OCamigo!
