    Added to everything about folding. The color box does not work in chrome but does in firefox and IE.

    I did notice that if you use the EOC method (in order to have it link to your profile), when you type in the number for your own username, it doesn't auto-update the links at the bottom.

    Challenge 6. Starting Thursday the 15th whom ever can progress up one milestone(as defined in Extreme Overclocker's stats) will complete this challenge. Designed to show case the new or upcoming folders.

    The people who completed this challenge are:
    paladin667: 1k -50k milestones
    DeeTee: 1k-30k milestones
    ratssttam: 1k-20k milestones
    nullenvoyd: 1k-10k milestones
    animebuster: 70k-100k milestones
    RootWyrm: 1k-3k milestones
    MrTRiot: 20-30k milestones
    ardichoke: 900k-1 mill milestones
    huskyhog: 1k milestone
    tushon: 300k milestone
    SuperGirlsPC: 5k milestone
    sgoldman: 70k milestone

    *This is done from the highest number of milestones to the lowest.

    There are a few people who hit milestones right before the challenge started which I would like to point out.
    QCH2002 hit 6 million, Wei Yang knocked down 400k, troll rolled on 100k, and animebuster nailed 60k.

    Also to add to that here is the current standings of the All Stars, remember you need to complete 5 challenges become an All Star and win your shirt.

    D'oh! I hit 5 million a few hours too late. Great stuff _k_, thanks for doing this, keeps me pumped about folding. Here's to nearly a decade of it!

    Yay! I'm slowly starting to get up in the ranks! and looks like I completed my first challenge :D

    to divert this thread back to its original purpose for a moment, I should be passing the following people who are above 0 PPD (meaning ostensibly still folding somewhere) and active on the forums (within the last month or so):

    zanthian - 1 week
    danball1976 - 1.3 months
    CB - 1.2 months
    bobby1211 - 1.4 months

    Many others who are inactive on either will fall, but they are unmentionables. More will fall to my blade with the next few months, but I won't mention them yet. Also, if I scrounge enough money for a decent video card to shove into my server, I will start slaying people without regard to their seniority.

    I broke 300k a few days ago and need to boost my folding somewhere, troll and animebuster are a few months out from overtaking me! This simply won't do.

    :D I'll be overtaking you in 1.6 Months, along with those in between

    Clutch 2.3 Weeks
    danball1976 2.6 Weeks

    and the others who seem to of stopped folding.

    So you might want to get that new Graphics card! :vimp:

    EDIT: @ _k_ How often do you do these challenges?
  • _k_k P-Town, Texas Icrontian

    Once a month, normally the they are the last week of it and they get announced about 4 days before hand.

    Don't you worry, the new card is in place and I do believe that I know why it won't fold properly and will be remedying the problem tomorrow night. Your numbers will cry under me.

    Animebuster,

    Thank you for the motivation to crush your folding with my upgraded folding box/server. I now run between 13k-16k PPD and you have not a chance of overtaking.

    That is all.

    Oh it sounds like you want to come play with the big boys Tushon. Bring it.

    Now now, _k_, don't go shaking your 28k PPD. I don't have money to support a habit like that yet. Talk to me again in the spring or so.

    I think you need to get an OC running on your quad. My main rig does 15-18k on its own. I run three computers for folding and my dad let me borg his new computer, :).

    It isn't so much about throwing money at it but getting serious and looking for people to get folding, for you or the team, and really cranking everything out of what you have...like a PS3.

    I do need an overclock on it and I don't have a 460 (or whichever card you got) folding either. I recently added my roommate's PS3 to my little farm, but he didn't turn it back on after playing a game last night.

    As an aside, I need some help troubleshooting my crossfire setup, I am scared that I bought a bad card.

    Update: broke top 100 on team 93 and 500k this morning! You won't catch me now animebuster, without a serious H/W upgrade!

    Challenge 7. Runs from today, 24th, through the end of the month 31st. This folding challenge is to bring a new member to Team 93. What is required of you is if you recruit a new folder post here or send me a PM with the username. Once the user post a point to Team 93 the challenge is completed. Honesty is assumed on this.

    Next challenge is to get a new folder on the team, starts tonight and ends at the end of the month(31st). I will edit this post later tonight to make it official like and rules and stuff.

    Man... I need to add 3500 ppd to my average in the next 6 months or Tushon will pass me. :(

    I am calling out EVERYGUY, while he is still weak. Fall on your sword if you wish to preserve your honor or fall at my hands, to me it makes no difference.

    Rawr! If I get a bigger refund check from school *crosses fingers*, I'm buying a nicer processor and maybe another graphics card, so either way, you should fall to my merciless forward march


    That is all.

    Edit: welcome to the club mbtshoes2011, make a folding signature to show off your glory!

    Meh... I have plans to replace my current colo (the aforementioned crappy 1.5GHz Celeron-M laptop) either a dual Opteron 4-core or dual Opteron 8-core server. Then we will see where the points fall!

    Everyone in the 500-700 rank range... watch out. I am cruising along, jumping places every few hours!!!

    Especially now that I got the right CPU client for my quad Intel i7 920 running :P

    The only thing you need to do is edit the pic to be a link to your Extreme stats, rather than to the picture itself.
  • ardichokeardichoke Icrontian
    edited August 2010
    Hmm... that 24 hour average is extremely low for an i7. I don't think you've set it up right. Looks like you might be running a single core client on it. That or you didn't set up a password so you're not getting the full points plus bonus.
  • TushonTushon I'm scared, Coach Alexandria, VA Icrontian
    edited August 2010
    Agreed. You need to be using the SMP client (probably the beta one, since you get more points), make sure you are actually using the -smp flag, and I'd run it as a service.

    Yeah, I think I need to just uninstall it all and start over. I will let you guys know if I have questions.

    Yeah remove it and delete any folders then use this client and these instructions (make sure you make a passkey first). Enjoy!
