That wasn't the case. The discussion was solely over a concern of a newly registered member's (OP's) first post being self promotional.
We're not really a software vetting service. In a case like this we like to assume you guys are smart enough to do that on your own.
Sire, YES and NO. This software is not commercial. Is free software. And the idea was to make this benchmark popular among overclockers. The software is virus free, Trojans free, keylogers free.
The development begun one year ago and the birth of the benchmark was first pictured by LAB501.ro [forums].

The benchmark has gone gold couple of monts later [the core algorithm that reside in two DLL's written in Visual C++]. Since then, only de user interface has changed several times. From that point of view, all the submissions to HWBOT remains valid.
We have almost 1000 submission for PI and 600 for LINPACK on HWBOT. I want to make this benchmark popular and relevant for overclockers. Is not a stability test or a heat test, is a benchmark that is relevant for multi core systems and can differentiate systems by result. The lower, the better. Also, the benchmark features perfect parallelization among any number of CPU's or cores.
LINPACK make use of BLAS to perform basic linear algebra operations with vectors and matrix. PI use BBP formula to compute up to 80000 decimals. All that, making user of every core or CPU available.
