• add list of passkey owners to first post of CC sticky
• recruit respected contributors from other parts of the EVGA forum to post CC recruiting announcements in those areas

• talk to EVGA web guru Shane about:
  • announcing modifications to the EVGA bucks promo to accommodate CC (see his later post in this thread)
  • adding banners to the forum or even the main site recruiting for the CC (can't be done because it's not an official EVGA-sponsored event)
• discuss within this section the possibility of an internal contest during CC (maybe the contest that tank already suggested http://forums.evga.com/tm.aspx?m=296028 ) 
  •   tank, AbeFroman, pgmoney and others are working on two separate contests

• add a signup sheet (probably google doc like the OCN signup sheet so you don't have to wade through a giant thread) so we know who's in and who might need a friendly PM

I am thinking of adding an option to FAH GPU Tracker V2 that would allow users to simply check a box to automatically fold for EVGA during the CC. The result would look something like this:


FAH GPU Tracker V2 thread

If this option is enabled then the Tracker will automatically switch all the clients over to the EVGA CC name when a web config file says to do so. I could host this file, but I think it would be better for it to be on the EVGA CC site here: http://evga.tachedout.com/

Does this seem like something that would be worth the effort to get working?

I still have those GPU's ready to give away, if we can come up with some solid way for the contest I can get them out before the CC to help with production.

I think that's a great idea. Maybe do a drawing for the lower end folders that have trouble getting the 10 bucks every month like you originally planned, but now make a rule that you have to participate in CC (honor system). Those people should easily be able to participate and get their 10 evga bucks. Even if they don't get their bucks for May, they still got a gpu for free and will be able to get those bucks the next month for sure. That might attract more people. I'm willing to bet some lower end folders that weren't planning on participating would gladly give up their chance for 10 evga bucks for a chance to win a gpu. Just a thought.

Whatever the case may be, those gpu's should be running for CC. I also agree with pgmoney. We should have a random giveaway for people who participate. I started a thread for prizes. http://forums.evga.com/tm.aspx?m=312940

Updated first post with results so far - thanks to everyone that has taken on CC projects.

One thing that's left is for people to start recruiting in other sections of the EVGA forums.  I don't know what the mods would allow, but I think if some well-respected contributors to the other areas post in those areas it would probably be okay.

I have completed the implementation of the CC feature in FAH GPU Tracker V2. All I need to know before I release it is the URL that the config file will be hosted on.

The config file is an XML file containing the following:

<config>
   <running>false</running>
   <name>EVGApes</name>
   <team>111065</team>
   <passkey></passkey>
   <eocid>449361</eocid>
</config>

Obviously the passkey will need to be added to this for the A3 bonus points. The <running> option specifies if the Tracker should be running under the CC name/team/passkey at the time. Setting this value to "true" will cause the Tracker to fold under the CC info if the user has enabled the option. If the value is set to "false" then the Tracker will run under the normal name/team/passkey.

I can release the new version of the Tracker as soon as I know the final URL of the config file.

EDIT: I also built in significant error-tolerance in case the config file is unavailable. If the config file can't be read then it will use the previous value instead. This way if the config file is unavailable in the middle of the CC it will not cause a problem.

Sounds like a good plan! Just let me know who I need to PM and when, and I'll get busy!!

I AM GOING TO GET STARTED ON THIS NOW:
 
I'll take 1-1000 on the EOC evga team users list, and report back later. so if any of you guys get a pm it is just because i am pm'ing everyone who has folded at evga alll time. if your already folding just disregard and don't forget to change your user name to EVGApes by or before my 5th 12pm pst.
 
ok as soon as i can find out why I can not pm the people i ant and the stupid forums inserts another name from contacts list instead of the name i typed, lol forums failure
