While were are taking about the repurposing of threads in HARDWARE...

CK can you move all the Antminer / Avalon SUPPORT threads to the MINING SUPPORT section?

Since we are talking about whole threads being not really about HARDWARE anymore.
No. Without a dedicated hardware support section, it's flexible enough for hardware announcements and discussions to turn into support threads, even though there is obviously then crossover with the mining support section. Competitions have previously been problematic though and I'd rather avoid that mistake again. The mining subsections are historical in development and no longer ideal but despite discussing this many times over we've been unable to come to something where the demarcation is clear enough to warrant a respin. I'm happy to discuss it again in meta/ if you wish to.

Hey guys, we know the rules now, we will pay more attention in the next time! Wink

Good attitude. Also, I don't think its a bad idea to leave things which possibly shouldn't be in hardware long term, to get a soak in hardware. For example the 2 days or so that the competition spent in hardware was perfectly fine and allowed it to get attention from the correct people.
