I really fucking doubt it. For a buyout or merger or whatever, they've probably been in discussions and talks for many months and things have been planned out. It's not like this was a surprise for them lol.

I have one of the yearlies with Crunchbits and I'm not worried about it at all. Dude knows what he's doing and I have full faith in them.

Just be patient, your prize will be delivered in due time.

Sorry, late reply from me--this last weekend was the only one to squeeze in some family time for all the kids/cousins to finally meet each other in one place (...and give all of us a little bit of the flu).

@lothos very right though. Most of these things internally are not a surprise, just a ton of legal wrangling to tidy things up.

There's no changes to any product/giveaway/any of that, just waiting on bits and pieces to arrive since these were 1-off builds that I had to source everything from smaller sellers and not our normal vendors. Often means we get that one guy with 3 of the NVMe's we're waiting on who sent it via FedEx with last mile USPS and it takes a solid 10+ days to sort and arrive.

Not all of the parts are landed yet from a quick glance. I will check, but we likely will send out the billing when it's all locked in and tested.

It's a grande scheme - they need to stall that BABY EPYC so everyone that is waiting for those to deploy will find other servers for that planned workload because it takes too long... so they can actually just idle Crunchbits one.

@crunchbits - considering this acquisition of Crunchbits brand, will you still provide the wins from Easter?

I don't want to sound rude. I just kindly ask this because it has been more than a month since Easter event.

Expecting that as well, the most memorable deals I received in LET. Additionally, there is a hoodie that is more attractive to me.
