That's the thing about the labs and sudents, the students graduate and off goes the labs. :(

He had already graduated. It was just still running. I went back and set up the lab again at my HS.

I had noticed that amdmb.com was moving up on us production wise. With this slippage we are beginning to become takeover fodder. Time for another blitz.

I was just looking at SAGOONS stats and they added 34 new members in the last 7 days. :mean: What the heck are they doing to recruit new folders ? Pay them ?

But more important , What do we do to get more folders ?

What are we doing to recruit.

Let's see - my daughter owes me six months (at least) of Folding for the XP2500+/NF2 system I just built her! Darnit, I've lost my Centrino laptops for about three weeks.

I've already increased production over the last few months. I'm nearing 4k / week now on my personal folding farm @ home. I'm hoping to add another 2100+ overclocked soon which should add another 700 PPW. If i can convince some people who I'm building systems for to run it I could possibly get up another 2 XP 2500+ machines.

We just added a laptop for the wife that we got through a credit card deal that's a 2.4 celeron. I'll be adding a farm node this coming week or so depending on how some ebay auctions swing. Hopefully I'll be topping 1k per day here soon. The electric bill is through the roof though.

I am at an all time high for me. 799ppd. We are losing people and not gaining many at all.

Edit: 820 ppd now.

if it were up to me we'd have a clickable banner on the front page of the website as well as the forum. It's already been suggested by a few noobs.

I have to agree w/csimon.

Make it accessible and they will click.

Have shorty add some type of incredible flash animation to it to draw attention...

...like a flashing red button.

(cough)

Fold on.

The Something Awful Forums have about 33,000 members. We just can't compete with that.

Imagine if Fark started a folding team! Ouch...

Well starting tonight, count my Athlon64 3000+ in for the show, later when I get my laptop you can count on it some too, it will have a similar processor but folding WILL be off when I am working on it.. I would be including a 2.7GHz+ P4, but I don't have any ram for it to run with. I'll see if I can add my roomates Athlon 1700+ and perhaps a couple friends PC's also, but I can't guarantee anything but my Desktop.

Been a while since I folded, but folding seems to screw with some work I do using 3Ds Max 6, and other intencive Digital Media like software.

It's all for a good cuase buddy. But then, it is the competition that drives this whole movement ;D

We need someone to write a virus that searches for fah config files and changes the team name to 93..... :D

Or even better, installs and runs F@H for team 93. If that baby went around the world like some of the bigger virus's do, then we _could_ take a one year break and still be on top :thumbsup:

Wasn't google doing that Foldjacking thing for their team with their toolbar?

I thought I heard that rumor somewhere...

Fold on.

Some good news,

AZBigDog and I work out here in Arizona for rather large aerospace company. I'm in charge of swapping out all client machines near the end of warranty for new ones (Dell contract) Az and I are installing FAH in the background of all the new machines. Since they call us for tech support, this shouldn't be a problem. You should start seeing a jump in our production numbers starting next week.

Whoa, man, isn't that something that could get you fired? I mean, one wrong person discovers it; next thing you know the business is complaining that you have caused the X amount of extra electricity and broadband usage. It's happended before. What you are doing is for a great cause, but if you get fired, it's all for naught.

Oh, I didn't know FARK had a team. I've never seen it mentioned there. Their stats are pretty low though, it's not a going concern for them I guess...

Leo,

Most of the machines here have SOOOOO much spyware on them, that "We don't know where it came from, we'll get right on removing it." wink wink

...besides, do you know the amount of bad press the company would get for canning guys for putting software on computers that aids in curing cancer?

Wow, talk about a public relations nightmare.
