The number might not look 'too big' but it took quite some dedication and addiction to get here. With the boost from TZC and my new GTX 1070, I passed the 200 mil mark today. 
In my first couple of years of folding, I folded with almost no interruptions regardless of changing places, occupations, etc. At times it became harder, at times I had access to too much hardware!!
I am happy to get more active again in the forums and see that still many people (and new and more people) are interested in folding --AND folding for team EVGA. 
Kudos to all who has been a part of the community and helped directly or indirectly.

    I can say the same about folding - once I started my machines ran 24/7 whether I was on vacation for a week, out of the country, whatever I folded from around the same date you started. About 2 years ago I got the crunching bug so I am not folding as much.
    The 200 mil mark is Big - congratulations!

    Congratulations on the milestone and for staying with it for so long.
    Not easy to do, so many come and go and don't stick with it.

    Me too (except from 2010)!  And us old timers know how hard it was to get a million points back then, we had to walk a mile uphill in both directions... oh wait, wrong story.
     
    Congratulations!

    Punchy! --you and your ever-consistent avatar! Thank you very much! And I agree that first million was very very hard to get to!
    bill1024...just to add to the story, in a land far away, around the end of eighties and beginning of nineties, I had to walk in/above 3 meters (9 feet) of snow!

    Had to walk in three feet of snow, now if they think it will snow they cancel school.




    Punchy! --you and your ever-consistent avatar! Thank you very much! And I agree that first million was very very hard to get to!
    bill1024...just to add to the story, in a land far away, around the end of eighties and beginning of nineties, I had to walk in/above 3 meters (9 feet) of snow! 
     


    Then you're just a young whipper snapper if you were in school in the 80's.  Not 1880s right?
    If 1880s, you're just a little older than me.
     
    Now with all this global warming, our kids will be swimming to school in 3 meters of water!. Up hill!

    Sorry to get on this post so late, Species! Nice to have one of the "old timers" still hanging in there.. I remember your name from back when I started in 2009.

    Me too (except from 2010)!  And us old timers know how hard it was to get a million points back then, we had to walk a mile uphill in both directions... oh wait, wrong story.
     
    Congratulations!

    bill1024, your profile picture/avatar is a good hint for me to settle with 1980s. I won't claim that I am taking about 1880s!

    I got my bachelors in the 80's, but bill1024's avatar would indicate he's got a few years on me.
    If it snows in Jacksonville this place goes in to freakout mode. They don't know what to do
