    I had the queue tracking threads closed. I was putting in a ton of time on them, hunting down info from people that never replied to the threads to try and get as much info into them as possible, but everyone kept thanking enewt and commenting they were using his Associate Code, even in my threads. So I figured my queue threads were not useful to people and I didn't want to waste so much time doing something that wasn't useful to the members.

    Damn shame in my opinion. I liked Kram's list better. he had almost instant updates. Even if he was moving me further down the queue daily I liked seeing exactly how many people were between me and my wallet getting emptied at gunpoint. now I just come on here to rickroll people that ask dumb questions

    IMO your threads were my go-to. Used your code on my last purchase and will still use your code when I get my 3080 TI - about 20 secs away.

    thanks for reply kram... I enjoyed your threads , hate to see them closed... maybe if 
    enough people complain , you might re-open ?  
    well, thanks for the hard work you put in... sure hope it wasn't because evga pressed you
    into closing them ...

    Nah, EVGA didn't put any pressure on me. The information is still there if someone would like to pick up where I left off.

    I know what you mean Kram. I rather have you getting the credit since you are an old time member and you have contributed in these forums greatly, also your threads are made specially for one card each instead in general

    Those who abuse power, are nothing but scumbags! The challenge of power is how to use it and not abuse it. The abuse of power that seems to create the most unhappiness is when a person uses personal power to get ahead without regards to the welfare of others, people are obsessed with it. You can take a nice person and turn them into a slob, into an insane being, craving power, destroying anything that stands in their way.

    Shame. When my queue position finally comes up (assuming the 3070ti xc3 ever moves past 1 minute  ), I still plan to use Kram's code.  You put a lot of time into those threads.  The least people could do is use your code.

    Damn, I found the list to be really useful because it showed a fraction of exactly how many people were in front of you. Even if it was only a slice of the total queue, hopefully it was enough people to make decent predictions out of it. For example there was only one guy who was signed up for 6:49 AM for the 3080ti FTW3 (3967)... does that mean that particular minute in queue will pass quickly as not many people must have gotten in during those couple of minutes? Sorry to hear about it though man. I'll use your code for sure when my time eventually comes.

    The FTW3 3070 Ti  was the thread I followed. Seeing it move to the top of the the forum was always an exciting sign I might be getting closer.

    Thank you for your efforts kram! Honestly they were my goto as well as I had no clue where I was sitting in the queue.
    So your efforts were not wasted! Thank you for your hard work!

    I really do appreciate those that said they would/were going to use my code. enewt has more EVGA Bucks then he knows what to do with, spread the wealth out, maybe even use an active mod's Associate Code as they don't get paid to keep the forums under control.

    You should not care whether they use your code or other associate's code. You were doing a good job by helping others to know their place in the queues, and that's what matters. I cannot use your code because associates cannot use them, but I would if I have the chance.

    Hi kram36, I am guilty of thanking both you and enewt on your thread but I give you all the credit for the work you do on your particular thread.  I'd imagine all of those following your 3070ti tracking follow both authors, didn't mean any disrespect, I know it's a pain to do but I appreciated (and still do) your hard work.  Please bring it back, you've got probably hundreds of people depending on your updates, I know I did and would like to continue seeing them.  Sorry for being a contributor to the issue.

    Kram, Thank you for all the effort and time you put into those threads. Your time was definitely not wasted. If you ever feel like it i agree that the return of your threads would be very much welcome. I believe there was a silent majority that relied on your threads.

    Thanks for all your work on these lists. They have been super helpful putting at ease the unknown. I thank you for making queue info. much more apparent through this world wide debacle shortage.

    That's a shame.  Thank you kram36 for the time and effort you put in on these.  I found these queue threads very useful.  Whenever my number comes up in like a year or two to purchase a 30xx, I'll be sure to use your code.

    Well Kram36, I can tell you with certainty - I know exactly how you feel. If anyone still recalls right back at the start of this GPU nightmare last year when I was the only one updating all the queues for several months. I'm still a little salty about how a certain someone took over everything and I was pushed out after the original lists got hacked.

    Bro, you posted that afterwards. Be honest, you closed down your threads because your codes weren't being used while Ewt's was. I guess helping others is only a secondary motive behind these tracking threads.

    So I put together a queue quick link thread when the 3070ti's went live. a TON of people have gotten the FTW variant. I saw kick backs on those from the first 2 waves. since then nothing. On the day the queue went live my thread was at the top of the Forums for almost the entire day. So the people that used my thread automatically applied my code. I didn't try to hide it. In fact I even said it straight out as a way to make sure the people that didn't know how it worked wouldn't be applying a code for a member they didn't know/like or simply wanted to give it to a specific member. Kram's queue position lists slowly gained traction as everyone knew his tracker lists. A few days after the launch my thread was gone to the back pages of the forum and Kram and Enewt went back to being at the top. I want to make this clear- I am not grumpy,salty,upset,mad-bro, or any other unhappy adjective. I just think its a flaw in the referral program where the Associate Code that was last "clicked" is the one that gets applied. If MY link got them their place in queue, why should someone else get the kick-back? If a person followed Kram's list every day until their email why didn't he get credit? I am not trying to take food off anyone's plate. Kram had a good point. If he and I haven't seen much by way of kick backs that means someone else is getting all the credit. With EVGA's "limit 1 card per house" all those EVGA bucks will just sit there. Unless they try to buy PSU and hybrid kits to sell 2nd hand? I am not blaming ANY OF THE FORUM users. My quarrel is with EVGA and their program.

    I did not. The post I made saying use a mod's Associate Code was before your post. My first response to this thread says "So I figured my queue threads were not useful to people and I didn't want to waste so much time doing something that wasn't useful to the members."

    Bro, you posted that afterwards. Be honest, you closed down your threads because your codes weren't being used while Ewt's was. I guess helping others is only a secondary motive behind these tracking threads. 
     
    I was actually planning to use your code too when my card came up for purchase. 


    I did not. The post I made saying use a mod's Associate Code was before your post. My first response to this thread says "So I figured my queue threads were not useful to people and I didn't want to waste so much time doing something that wasn't useful to the members."
     
    Try again?




    EVEN if your motive was to make some money, Eff anyone that is against it. anyone should be compensated if they perform a service. anyone that says they do "100% charity" work is lying- and you can tell because they have a associates banner as their signature. I know why Kram quit the tracker, he said it multiple times I would have too. and as soon as I get my payouts owed me im gonna cancel my membership and use kram on all my buy's from now on. Had I known that associates can't use other associates codes I never would have signed up. (my fault for not reading EULA or ToS)

    Save some Dough-Use my Code

    Bump, I appreciated your thread for the detail for said specific GPU's and I didn't like having to click into a Google Docs document to find all that detail instead of just a current time on said model.

    It has too... Just no one has reported it to the thread. Or other thread. Most people that buy dont come back to confirm it. I havent on my last. 2 purchases either.
