I think I have already posted 4 posts and have spent hundreds of hours trolling, especially last week when the fork happened. I am really wanting to ask some questions in the ozco.in thread about his switch to stratum. At first he posted a dire message to users that he was shutting off getwork "Saturday" with a link to a thread here. Then he just posted that he was looking into proxy getwork to stratum. More details would be helpful but I doubt he reads the newbie column.
How about an elevation.
