ohhh ok, thank you but i dont see how its exploitable, without masses and masses of hash on the pool for long periods, not solved a block in 4 months but shares have stayed about the same give or take, if i had regular big hash power i wouldnt be running prop, but as its only a small pool, i thought it would be fairest

There's a lot written on it, and it can be a significant profit optimiser for any miner on a proportional pool.

I had a whole blog about pool hopping proportional pools at one point, theres a post explaining it there (somewhere): https://howtohop.blogspot.com

yeah thanks for the link but i looked a while ago at the pool hopping and came to the conclusion its just software, which if its wanted badly enough it will be broken, kind of like this hopping situation, i cant help but wonder how many of these rental places have their own pools and are hopping back and forth when potentially solving the blocks, its part of the reason i think its been built to fail :/ but its still my hobby and many others and will live as long as we keep it alive

No, not really a software issue -- it's a provable statistical certainty.
