i got the pm from you xavier. dont worry, im folding as EVGApes for 111065

Afterburner

I certainly mean no one any harm in my comment... It is purely personal... This is why I help our team. All we can do is what we can do. Spending any energy with other teams has proven beyond any doubt to be a waste of time and our own production.

To heck with the other teams. Our problem is we do not care how big is team is or is not. We are happy to help. However, when your the proven world champion, they will only go for your knees as they five face you each way to Sunday...

Let us do what we do. Crunch, Fold, Game, Mod, Joke, Help and above all else Default or Death. 

I for one am damn proud of all of you. Even those the contests turned away. I hope they too come back and rejoin their brothers and sisters. Because in the end... What ever we do or do not do is on us, not them. 

 
While I won't stay long after, I will see the Chimp Challenge through.  I'm pushing everything I've got as far as it'll go, even though I know there's a chance of massive hardware failure on some of my older 775 equipment.  I've already had to strap fans down to northbridge heatsinks to keep those from melting, and fans to southbridge heatsinks to keep those cooled.  There are graphics cards in open-air boards, something I never do.  Where I had power supplies to power everything under one PSU, it was done, but in others, I linked multiples to cover the load.
 
It's 110F in my computing area, and I have insufficient power resources to install and run an air-conditioner.  All I can do is wait till it's over, whether it's by losing hardware or by the end of the contest.  I've got laptops folding again, couple Core 2 systems, the spare GTS 250 (what would have been an SLI mate to the one that flamed out), and 3 9800 GX2's.  Oh, and an old 8800GT.  Add to that what I launched in with, my SR-2 under full SMP, and I'm burning points faster than before.  I just wish I didn't feel like I was about to melt.
 
Can't wait till it's done, this is a ridiculous amount of heat.

Someone has an extra space at the end of their EVGApes name.  Kicking in 22,607 point work units that don't count towards the challenge.

Hey sorry guys I havent been around much since this thing started. I did let the ball down on recruitment. But I had believed that EVGA was going to take care of things. Next will be different. Whether Im captain again or not, I dont plan on making the same mistakes twice. Thank you to everyone who has been helping trying to raise awareness the last few days. Ive been so busy that Im at least 3 days behind on reading the forums. 

Ive managed to get out more PM's
Im doing 1200-1300 (done)
1300-1400 (done)
1400-1500 now

It be nice if some more members help out and do other ranges
 
 

can I have someone else step up and help pm people
had I had more of that we could have made more of a dent
 
the first 1600 have been pm'd barring some blocked PM's
(and I personally did about 1200-1300 of them)
 
Im still sending some active folders past this point a pm first
 
 

Your a PM warrior XZ. I wish there wasn't that 5 recipient limit, and the timeout between sending PM's. I'd planned on 100 more this evening but wasn't able, I should be able to do another 100-200 tomorrow at work.

I can help out tonight.  Send me a copy of the pm and let me know what group to pm.  Also are you sending a pm to everyone or certain people?

For some unknown reason the PPD/WU has gone low from 7700 to 2500... Ideas?

Hey everybody, just wanted to stop by and apologize for my lack of output and absence from the CC thread. Been super busy the last week, and the SR-2 has been down. But I think that I got the SR-2 going again and I'm getting ready to fire up some bigadv. The families GTX460 has been running strong since a couple hours before the start so I've not been completely silent. Again sorry and fold on everybody.

Xavier, you really have done great work. We're not in last for conversion anymore!

TBH...if it ain't one thing it's another
 
I might not be around too much again -
now my other parent went into the hospital today.
 
not as critical - could be very minor (like a sprained muscle)
but could be as bad as a broken pelvis
 
Soooo...I'll be running around a bit today and not getting much else done

@ Xavier good work, and I hope that it turns out to be nothing.

Pfft, more bad news. I have to send my case back, probably RMA it,  because of some defective USB port. My computer will be offline for a while until I figure out a way to put the components in a safe place, away from the reach of the two cats I have.

 
put some barb wire around the sides of a large table, that should keep them off

BECAUSE I will be going on vaca for a week.
Haven't been on one since 2008.
Then will be back and folding.
