I guess they just couldn't let us have our record breaker

.
correct me if im wrong here... but wont this record keep going up as a function of the difficulty?
edit: I still have not found a block at btcguild. I have 2.98Million shares accepted here...
Yes, it will. The current difficulty is the expected average number of shares needed to find a block. But a round taking 10 times the expected shares is very unusual.
