My thoughts... I really do not want folks to not have the ability to have one banner. I feel pretty strong on that point. I also feel as strong against changing the names of what is already in place. My feelings are also... Having three points of interest is a good idea. Anything beyond that and we muddy the waters. I like F@H... WCG... And (In-cert name here) for those three. This way it covers 80-90 % of all projects out there... To be clear... That third name in my mind covers all or most of all DC projects not already covered by our other two portions of this team. So a lead person would have to create a name for all of the 30+ other projects out there for the team. Allowing for easier to follow and participate in groups of our "Single" team. This means some folks may in fact end up with three sigs in the end. While others are able to use one with the options mentioned above... Not everyone uses sigs for there contribution efforts. But everyone does look at and feel pride for the efforts of the team they are contributing with.

Are you sure that F@H would be included in BOINC? As far as I'm concerned, where points are involved, ignorance is bliss. Just point me to a project I can believe in that uses the hardware well and let 'er rip. Anyway, I'll be happy to go whichever way the team wants to go. If we need to change the WCG team name, we better do it PDQ.

Man I do not know... There has been so much info flying around I may have lost that portion. But I thought F@H and WCG are both Biological types that fall under BOINC...

In most cases, folding@home is separate from BOINC project stats. The one exception is the site free-dc.com. This particular site is able to display stats for folding and BOINC. I think we can leave the folding team as is and setup a team for BOINC projects.

DC Vault also includes both, and perhaps other sites as well. I'd prefer the BOINC approach except it would mean restarting the WCG team, which is where most of us are now participating.

Hey fellas... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I may have been totally incorrect in the name change as an option on WCG's
I just looked... And I think sense I am the current Captain of WCG@EVGA I can change the name... It does allow me to do it but I have not sent it.
My fear is if I try and mess stuff up... But you all need to know this as the name looks like it can be changed to anything we want!!! As the team number stays the same...
I have to go for a little while... It would be great if someone here would be kind enough to research on WCG forums on if we can change the name without any teammates having to and NOT losing any credits for the team we have already built...

I just did a boinc-wide team search for EVGA and there are no teams setup with that name at this level currently. The process of setting up the team looks simple. The first thing to do is to create a boinc-wide account. Then after doing that, a new page will appear with some options. One of the options is to "Create a team". From here a team can be setup by entering a team name, URL, description, and checkbox to accept new members. After this, the team is setup and will need to propagate through and there should be the option to administrate the team.

I like the idea of just staying the way we are. It just sounds like we are getting too worried about standings like our other team has become.
What other team?
EVGA's folding team.

I honestly think we are one team ...for anyone to say otherwise is wrong.
I don't care what projects we run or whether you are crunching or folding.
fah is one team
WCG can be another
DC@ evga for everything else -if possible
we can be on both boinc stats and DC-vault stats- there is nothing that doesn't stop us from being compared in different ways. just that dc-Vault include FAH which would include all the teams under one (and make us more harmonious)

From what I have read, there is no harm in changing the team name. The points will still be the same. The exception would be if there were multiple projects under the same team name. In that case, the various stat sites that look at the combined point totals of all projects under one name may reset their counters for the combined totals. However, WCG@EVGA is only being used with one project right now. I came across this thread here where a member gives a detailed breakdown of what happens with a team name change and combining teams. http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=4105

And what about SNURK? Last thing I want to do is give him a whole bunch of new work. Hopefully his stats processing derives the current team name from the member number.

I agree with the first half of your statement but not the second. In the process of building consensus nobody has the right to judge what other people think or say. That kept happening in the FAH forums and I don't want it here.

Here we go again.... I post a simple post with my opinion and concerns. Kody quoted and asked a question. I simply followed with an answer. Which is immediately followed by someone posting a response seemingly (to me) addressong why my opinion should be discounted. @ AB, Can we get a better explaination in the "why we crunch" thread on what our team feels is an acceptable Team opinion to post here? I'm not looking to start anything here. A little respect for other thoughts would be decent by other Team WCG members tho. If every time I post someone here will always feel the need to "trash" it.... Or belittle it.... deflate it.... or post already stated opinions. Then I'm thinking that a Posted Team Opinion should be in place. I don't need thos crap again. Sean

Ok folks... Let's stay on the topic. Thank you for all of your thoughts. As you all know we are a part of a single EVGA team. That does not mean there are not important parts to a team... Like in many things in life, it takes many things to make a team. Including differences of opinions.
Let's get back on the subject...
Linux, thank you off to read that now!

This is great!! OK.. So we can change the WCG@EVGA at any time to whatever team name is chosen. So we need to bring this thread to a close once we know what to do... And start a fresh thread that has all the important information asking for team name ideas that we can put to a vote! And once that name is figured out by the majority, we will make another thread announcing the Team name change to WCG@EVGA with all the info folks will need including letting all know the info filters in over the week it takes...

my apologies Sean, but that was not my intent it was to stop you or others from doing the same yourself, by saying "Other team".... almost made it sound like an insult... by doing that created the "first" offense .... I did it to keep people from ticking off the other side of the fence. I want to be on both...so when you do that you make me feel unwelcome no offense..I but it should be "EVGA" plain and simple or ONE BIG TENT or TEAM. and again if I make my self clear again... everyone stop picking everyone's posts apart before I bring barney the purple dinosaur out - singing" I love you...you love me, we are a happy family" that should put a stop to it.. seeing that video clip or even mentioning bringing it out should be enough to scare the bejesus out of anyone

Then be on both. That's fine with me. What video clip? The fact that This portion of EVGA members are on a different team, and we are a different EVGA team dfoesn't mean anything more than that. Two different teams under one hat... EVGA. Some appology.........

I posted in SNURK's thread to ask about changing team name, but I'm pretty sure it will be automatic. As far as changing the WCG team name, there is so little about it in the FAQ that I don't think it's a big deal. http://www.worldcommunity...do?shortName=teams#136 How may I change my team name, description, or URL? Team name, description, and URL may only be changed by the team captain. To change this information, sign in to My Grid, select My Team from the left menu. From the My Team page, select Edit. On the Edit Your Team page, make the changes and select Save. Personally I like Crunchers@EVGA for all types of DC work, since the use of "number crunching" predates any of these DC projects. However, I am open to consensus of the team. I can set up a voting page if we find that necessary. Too bad the F@H team wasn't set up as "EVGA FTW" and then we could use that across the board.

How about WhetDhryCrunchers@EVGA if it's not too long? Or perhaps StoneCrunchers@EVGA something along these lines.

That sounds good. I am glad to see EVGA forum members and moderators coming together to setup a cross-project team for BOINC.

Good Afternoon All. I had created the team DC@EVGA which was Distributed Computing@ EVGA. I had just deleted the team a little while back since I did not see any movement in it. I can go ahead and set it up again and add some admins to the team. You guys can also come up with another name and set it up here http://boinc.berkeley.edu/teams/ Once it is set up here the team will be created across all projects. It takes maybe up to 72 Hours for the team to be created on projects. You will see a flow of emails coming in for which projects the team is created for. I would love to see this going again.
Good to see you here again. Thanks for responding and for the project details.
yeah man I have been off for a while working on my CG portfolio for school. Long time.

Question... Would it be a good amount of time, to leave the "Name your team" thread open to input till say next Friday Nov 25th (Day after Thanksgiving)... And then right behind that on the same day open the Voting that Punchy has built a Google site for us... And say run that for seven days and announce the winning vote on Saturday Dec 3rd? If so I will post that info in the thread

We need to enter any WCG challenges by the end of November, so it might be nice to get it done sooner, instead of "come join us on the team to be named later team in the WCG Christmas Challenge". To be honest I think we already have the most logical choices in the list.
