I will be able to pick up a couple of 100's of the PM's if needed and I will add the info onto the Millionaires thread as well. just let me know (I'm away Easter Sunday and Monday - so no help then :( ) OK?

Excellent design Krunch...you the man!!! 
 
PS:  If the Team is "in" for this year's CC, I'll be able to help next Tuesday to do whatever we need (sending IM's, etc).  I have my (3) grandsons coming tomorrow and will be totally consumed by "Papa...lets go do..." for the next (4) days. 

I looked through my PM history and the 2012 CC pages (as many as I could) and couldn't find last years CC Invitation that we used.  I figure we could dust that off, include the changes that are pertinent to this years CC and use it as a template.  Anyone have a copy of last year's CC letter/message of invitation?

Punchy

If someone has a list of names, and someone writes the message to send, I can do all of the PMs. 

look at the folding stats(team list)
I did most the the top 1200 last time - we did more than that(over 1600)
 
the thing is folding name doesn't always match username and some members have PM's turned off
 
Yes AB Im going to PM Rob with the banner - and with particulars - Date info
(errps You already sent it to Rob AB...Well!!! Nice job AB)

EVGA will probably want to fashion the message themselves
and there is no guarantee that the banner will be used by EVGA ...they may use their own
 
Nice job 415krunch
 
Im also going to post the announcement sometime today - once I have some time to complete everything
The sooner we start mobilizing the better

IN communication with Rob... He asked for me to create the thread... http://forums.evga.com...25&mpage=1#1900525

Intriguing???
OK I'll finish off my stuff and get back to you
I't will be later today...
have to run off and do some shopping before the holiday weekend
can't buy much tomorrow on Good Friday

Ok, that's cool. I'll probably do a quick retool on my side just to keep an hourly backup, but won't worry about having it published. 
 
Thanks!

Just make sure you've got your systems up and running, that's all

Here is a PM form 2010:
 
Date Sent Thursday, April 22, 2010 9:01 PM From pgmoney To SniperOZ,ProtectedVoid,codebluetoo,pistolkilla, EVGA members, we need your support for the Chimp Challenge 2010!
 
Last year was team EVGA's first chimp challenge for folding @ home.
 
We came in 2nd place behind OCN. In a effort to make sure EVGA is the winner I am writing to ask for your support.
 
We need every possible GPU, and CPU to fold for us here at EVGA to make sure we take the crown as the best team in 2010.
For help getting setup if it's your first time or even as a refresher please see the EVGA folding forums section.
 
All you need to do is download a client and follow one of the easy guides in our forums to set it up, and fold under user name EVGApes team # 111065
 
EVGA F@H CC10!
 
  - What is The Chimp Challenge?
The Chimp Challenge happens once a year usually around May 5th:
 
Rules are pretty simple.  Each team gets a group of members together and folds for thier team under 1 name ours is (EVGApes). 
Name is usually monkey / team name related.
The object is to see which team can reach a specific point number first.  Last year was 20,000,000 points.
The prize for winning this contest is the jaded monkey, which is displayed like a trophy of honor in your forums signature or on the team web site.
The losing team is forbidden to display it.
In the end it makes Folding@Home more interesting as we jump onto a single username to beat the other teams.
 
If you are not familar with what folding at home is for. Here is a short refresher:
 
Did you know that your EVGA graphics card has the potential to fight disease?
 
While the notion might seem far fetched the possibility is real with the help of the Folding@Home Distributed Computing Program.
Created by Stanford University this program has been developed to utilize the computing power of your, and everyone elses, graphics card to do help Stanford with their goal:
to understand protein folding, misfolding, and related diseases. Diseases like Alzheimer's, Mad Cow, CJD, ALS, Huntingtons, Parkinsons disease, and many Cancers and cancer-related syndromes.
 
By joining the EVGA folding team you too can help with this noble cause.
 
We are adding some random prize drawings for the chimp challenge, you can see the list grow each day in the folding forums here at EVGA.
Please help us with whatever you got and you can always look for support from team EVGA folding forums.
Just post a thread and many of us are willing to help you out to get you up and folding.

Pssssssssssssssssssssst... Refresh your browsers till you see it  Banner is Up baby!
 

Huge thank you to Rob and those who helped him. How awesome is this! They not only gave us space that is usually reserved for advertising their products, they got it up within hours of us asking if they would be willing to do it!
 
The "Delivers" portion... That is two fold...
 

1. It links to our thread (That we need to fill so PM me with the info we should place in it!!!) showing that we deliver the goods baby! We are breaking records and killing cancer.
2. Surprises yet to come. 
   1. Could that be dethroning [H]?
   2. Could that be prizes?
   3. Could that be a win in this years CC challenge?

OK trying my Banner post

 
 
I sort of went With Star Wars meets Planet of the Apes
I have some other pics I'll bring online including Protein Prophet Chimps

 
Tell me what you think?
I already Have My chimp Han Solo, Luke & Leia Pic

 
I'll Post My banner properly - once Everyone give me feedback
as for the other pics I have let me know what you like...I'll scrounge around a bit later
 
The text of the Post Im doing right now

To drougnor and troy 
are you interested in running a second stat site for CC with graphics/charts?
 
Axipher (OCN)is running one
they asked me if we are willing to do a second site

One final note
refrain from engaging in posts in this thread to discourage folders or members from participating or ranting about past contests.The goal is to grow the folding @ home community and get beyond the problems of past contests and have a fun time while delivering science and possible cures for mankind

I'd either edit or drop this particular note as it seems to assume that people would "want" to discourage other Folders and sets a negative tone itself.  It just doesn't sit well with me and sounds rather presumptuous.  Just because someone has a beef with a contest (past or present) doesn't mean that they have intent to "discourage" Folding or others.
