A little history of why and where this is coming from...
 
This thread here (Link) one of our members RHMash asked...

Is there enough interest in spreading EVGA to other projects than WCG?  So far from what I've read, the team name has to be the same across multiple projects.  If there's interest, I'm willing to crunch under Collatz, Cosmology, Einstein, Enigma, Milkyway, Orbit, PrimeGir, SETI and YoYo in addition to WCG....
 
Maybe if we get a list together of the projects everyone is willing to crunch for as an EVGA team, we can come up with a team name or we can stick with using WCG@EVGA for all of them?

After a lot of research, debate and down right good old fashion passion. We discovered (Not only from this thread but others on other forums and PM's internally) that there are a lot of folks that have been contributing or would like to contribute to other projects and have all the work show up under a team name here @ EVGA...  But there was no EVGA team to attach their passion and or results to...
 
Full credit and appreciation to Infinitekills. He did start DC@EVGA  and got this ball rolling a few years back!!! Add this to the other request and ideas... And that all culminates into this thread we are working with today
 
And Infinitekills continues to offer his help and expertise to make this all work. Thank you Infinitekills!!!

So it was proposed to create one EVGA team name that would allow folks under all these other projects, to attach themselves to a team here @ EVGA...
 
Along the way we found it is best to have all the "Team" names match so we have the largest BOINC "Data completion" program available to us under one banner. This means the team name for SETI has to match WCG in order for the program to go out and get the results of work completed and bring it back to one location.
 
The result would be... Everyone could participate in any program that BOINC offers that is tracked, that we create a matching Team name to, and all the production would come into one place for all to see.
 
Just an FYI for all those WCG teammates. We learned that we can change the WCG@EVGA name to anything we desire. With NO issues with points/units/results/etc. However it can take up to a week for it to filter through all of the channels for it to start tallying and recovering form the past efforts. Everything will be captured, nothing will be lost...
 
This will have no impact on the Folding@EVGA name in anyway. It has nothing to do with that portion of our team. We are trying to align the BOINC/Projects name(s) so it is easier to understand, promote and keep track of them in one place.

I like both of these too!  Very cool.
Again, I will go with anything really:)

Sorry, Just not familiar enough with all that. If it means that this Team keeps it's name and a separate identity in the concept of consolidation, I'm cool with it. If not, the team certainly has a right to collectively decide otherwise, and I'm OK with that as well.

Just don't know at this point what my thoughts are if that would not be the case. I'll just hang and evaluate later after it becomes clearer. Right now I just don't have the time to sort through it all. Nor do I feel I understand it enough to offer any commitment either way.

OK folks... Please let me know if I missed anything.. I did an explanation in post #2...
 
Once we nail this down I plan to ask if we can post a thread in the F@H category asking for input. I like the idea of a wide spread audience as the perfect name may come from anywhere =]

I like the current name of DC@EVGA but BOINC@EVGA and Crunchers@EVGA sounds good too. I think if we setup a new name, then perhaps it would be a good idea to see if we can rename a few of the existing teams. There is already 48.5 million points under the current team plus 345K under WCG@EVGA and that would give us a good running start under a new team name.

Perhaps that test would be good to run in parallel with a vote about a new name.  Sounds like you would need to establish ownership of an existing name, then change it.  Might as well give it a try to make sure it can be done before we go through a vote only to find out that our only real choice might be to change the WCG name to match.

I love the idea and StoneCrunchers@EVGA has a cool attitude to it.
 
Might look good on a t-shirt too.

I was just reading Punchy's question for SNURK over at the WCG Forum.  I hope that our WCG Team name (if it changes) won't impact all of our new Sigs that he created.  I'd really not want to even consider asking him to re-do all those after he's been pumping out so many for us.  Just a thought...

Your thought make sense and aligns with what I think we are doing.

For a weird example... EVGA is one Company. That one Company has a sales team, and a shipping team, and an RMA team and so on and so on....

They are interpersonal teams (If you will) but all contribute by doing their part of the "Teams" needs for success.

That is what we are doing here. It allows folks that are good at what they do flourish in different environments/projects while still contributing the the ultimate cause for Humanity...

Thanks AB,
That pretty much sums it up for me.

Okay that made me laugh.

I think crunching@EVGA  sounds great.

you know "y" means "and" in several languages, right?

"InsertName@EVGA" ?
