I believe the Apocalyse and Second Coming will come long before there exists a BFL ASIC. I see on BFL forums people who also think the same and have opened threads to that same effect. Sad, isn't it?
I'm actually pretty stunned at how much the tables have turned over there on the BFL forums, and even more
stunned that Josh hasn't gone on a massive deleting spree of all the negative comments on the forums.
Maybe not retroactively, but starting now it's proactive.
If you are new to the forum or rarely post, you may notice that your posts are "moderated."
This means that once you make a post, it needs to be approved before it shows up on the forum, this does not mean there was an error posting and you need to post again. If you post multiple times, it just takes posts longer to be approved as the list of moderated posts and threads grows longer.
If you notice your post is taking a long while to be approved, this may mean that no moderators are currently available to approve posts, but I can assure you that at least once a day I personally go through and deal with all moderated posts.
Thank you for your patience,
