Seems like yesterday when I passed 1920x1080i-How??? at 103K points. I just realized I have passed him again and have taken 12th place overall. Next up is halo, actually I should pass him momentarily. That gets me to 11th. MUST HAVE TOP 10 :D

I'd love to get nikhsub1 up to number 1. Of course we could do it if we all folded under his name :D. So does anyone want to try because I sure as hell would.

Great work Nik! Keep lining 'em up and knocking 'em down. It's good for the team to have guys like you at the top. I just made it to page 2, and it looks like I'm gonna be here a while. Trying to hold off Johan. Took Fast's advice and removed the advmethods flag - produced over 1000 points more this week than my best previous week (3900+ vs 2900ppw). I recommend anyone with an HT P4 do the same; maybe I was just lucky but I got more DGromacs after removing the flag. If the rest of the team could boost their production like I did with no hardware changes, our production could really improve.

Exactly what happened with me. MUCH more DGromacs than with -advmethods. Good job on moving up Nik! As far as taking first place, Nik would need to up his production 20,000 points per day just to TIE Oc-AMD's production. Then there's the 4 million or so point lead.

extreme stats shows you in 13th place overall? Still you have done wonderful things and I wish you luck in your top 10 quest. I on the other hand hope to get into the top 500 in about a yr. :D Don't know if I can make it though. My power bill is killing me every month. I could shut down the pump on the doughboy but I dont think the family would like that.

Have a look here: http://vspx27.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=userstats Extreme puts a user in 4th place for some reason, it adds an extra member, where stanford does not list it as a user... that is why. According to stanford, I am now officially in 11th in teh world! w000r!

I just took a closer look at the All Users stats and realized that Nik is outproducing several companies, universities and even a few countries! :p Interesting way to look at it, no?
If production rates stay roughly the same, looks like [H] will get knocked off their porcelain throne by the end of this month. Even though it won't be us passing them (yet), it will be good to see a change at the top. Also looks like all the top teams have seen a production spike in the last couple days. Large quantities of DGromacs, like I've been seeing, might be somewhat responsible. What do you think?
Seems like yesterday when I passed 1920x1080i-How??? at 103K points. I just realized I have passed him again
I did the same thing with plext... I passed him and within 2 months he went sailing right by me like I was sitting still... then I passed him a second time!
Anyone know if OC-AMD is one guy or a kind of Sub team? If its one guy il start to worry!
Just me... one guy, 440+ folding sessions with PC's spanning 13 offices in 8 states :)
yea and bring OC-AMD off his mighty throne

I outfolded him today by a 1000 points or so... making up 5 million points would take years.
Oh... and congrats on 11th overall nikhsub1... you'll be in the top 10!

Big Congrats Nik! As has been stated so many times before, this is a marathon not a sprint and only time, sweat, and fortune will tell who is on top.
Fold On :burn:
wait, so whats the bottom line on him, that thread is a bit weird...is he a haxor
Don't know... he says no, but there have been 3 instances of people seeing F@H on their PC's with his username and they didn't install it. Pandegroup is looking closer at the matter to see what is up.
I always say... I welcome any folder who can outfold me (with permission to use the hardware of course!!) it's great fun and it's great for the project as a whole. If your borging PC's without permission... then that is REALLY bad for the project.

Hey OC-AMD, What kind of place do you work at to have so much power?
A world wide consumer marketing firm that is technology based. 27 offices in total... around 2,000 employees, 500 Windows servers, 200 Nix servers, 30 Novell servers and 600+ TB's of storage on our HQ raised floor!
and you only have that many? sheesh, 2k employees, figure at least that many comps, ur slipping man...
than again, not fair that you have all that at your fingertips :cry:

Yeah, that's a d*** shame what's going on, gives the whole folding community a bad name. And all so some yahoo can get a stats boost.... d*** shame.
and im still freaking confused on whats going on... i mean jethroted keeps denying doing anything, but many seem convinced he wrote like a viri type thing or something.
and you only have that many? sheesh, 2k employees, figure at least that many comps, ur slipping man...
Just for lack of time... it's hard enough managing as many systems as I do now... I add a few here and there... but 440+ is about 3 to 4 hours a night worth of work for me to keep up and folding.
jw, whadya hafta do to keep them folding? I just borg 'n move on(I check on them when I cross them, but thats about it)
None of my machines run F@H as a service... I can't have F@H running on them when users are on them... part of the deal I made to get permission to use them. So I have to use scheduled tasks to start/stop F@H. That is why you see my points are so high at night and weekends and dip during the day.
Being these PC's are in 13 offices in all 4 time zones... people go home and turn their computers off, I have to go wake them up. When one is reimaged I have to reinstall F@H along with the scheduled task... and i don't use any type of installer. (Can't with the scheduled task because a password needs to be entered when setting it up)
I have scripts that turn them on, but the wake on lan proxies don't always work and I have to reset them... it's time consuming.
omg... i can't believe you do that :eek: i don't have the attention span to keep that up and running
hehe... been doing it for nearly two years now. Sometimes I'm ready to hang up my hat... then I think of how good the project is.

Hey someone noticed my sig :D
OC-AMD and nikhsub1 are only power folding because they did and still do whatever it takes. I don't have any borgs and even in house machines have to be checked daily to fix any problems that can crop up. Borgs are ten times the effort compared to a local machine.
audioaficionado 85/1,124 and still less than a flea in OC-AMD's or nikhsub1's carpet.
Thanks Audioaficionado!
If anyone is concerned about the issue that was bought up earlier in this thread with the large jump in points by one user, Vijay from Stanford has shed some light on the issue with a full announcment coming tomorrow.

It's great to see the Vijay is taking a solid stance on this. Not only because of the unfair competition, but because of the chance of tarnishing F@H's name.
I find it absurd that some people are upset about loss of rankings. The competition that we folders have is all well and good, and it inspoires us to greater folding goals, but it should not become such an obsession that we have to cheat for points.
I realize that I will probably never catch the big dogs on our team like nik and Wedo. That is OK. I don't need to cause chaos and endanger the project to get my #s up
[/end rant]
ok well its "tomorrow" now where can i read the official message? sorry i have no idea where to look.
Stanford is in the Pacfic time zone, so it will be a while longer before it is posted. I'm assuming it will be found on the announcment forum of folding-community.org

I will post a link to the announment once it is made.

I actually think jethrod is getting off too easy, but that is just me... I commend Vijay for his actions, but I would get authorities involved, again, just my .02.
what would you like to see get done?

06-09-04, 05:58 PM

Me? I think he should be prosecuted... what he made, this .msi installer is very sneaky, installs into a windows directory, the services are named after windows services etc. You don't make something like that for casual use. Wedo's one click installs in Program Files\FAH... Then, this .msi package was released as some Adobe hack/crack or whatever which it is not. People on P2P's got hold of it, tried to run it, but nothing happened, or so they thought. To me, this is worse than a virus... it badly tarnishes the whole FAH project. FAH is NOT a virus, yet the way this went down, it makes it seem like it is a virus to people that know nothing about it, all they see is that it is using up mad resources. I would fully prosecute this guy to the full extent of the law if I were Vijay. But I'm not, and this is just my opinion :clap:

I agree with nikhsub1. He essentually wrote software that acted like a worm/virus and took over someone's resorces without informed permission and that's a felony I believe.

06-10-04, 08:59 AM
This was very wrong in many ways, especially for the projects credibility and legal reasons.
But
If it was put onto the p2p networks as a Crack.
I believe that the person who downloaded a crack deserves what's coming to them.
Oh and Congratulations to nikhsub1, keep it up :)
SavageBasher
06-10-04, 12:39 PM
Yeah, but if you put it as a crack, it should be a CRACK, nothing else. Adding FAH to it would be the same as spyware, only worse, because notthing will pick it up, and the user won't have a clue as to why thier temps have gone up or why thier games are losing frames.
