ggggggggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.............

I'll talk to him and see what is going on. I can't believe he is going there though.

[Allan Nielsen]

I got an e-mail about that thread earlier today (Won't mention from who - just a dedicated oc.com folder).

I've ICQ'ed with Kahnza today, he is indeed leaving. He had lost interest, and said that he felt he fit better in at [H].

I am sad he wrote that about overclockers.com in the [H] forum, it wasn't called for at all, giving us a bad name and all.
Anyway, who cares about what they think...

Are we perhaps too friendly around here? :rolleyes:

Kahnza: It was fun having you around. Good luck in future DC adventures. Too bad we weren't good enough for you. Talk to you later.

[SickBoy]

I'm not going to say I'm disappointed to see him go but he did contribute a fair amount... I think the "lack of enthusiasm" thing is totally wrong... pound for pound we're the leanest, meanest team in the top ten.... and I dont know what makes him think that switching to [H]'s team is going to help his server situation...


GRRR!! Very GRRR!!!

He will run Genome@home instead of folding@home. If the genome servers go down, they will "auto generate" some work units...

And yes, he really did do a lot of units for us.

[WillysNut]

Khanza never heard the phrase "Patience is a Virtue". When the goin' get's tough, the tough get goin, and the whinners give up. If I gave up on half the things in life that I had to work and wait for, then I'd be nowhere today.

I wish Khanza luck w/ "the other guys" but as was mentioned, someone more dedicated to OC.com and folding will fill his place in no time.

Are we too positive? No way! What does negativity get you? Not much. Fold on my friends.

[sifu quoc]

i guess now is a really good time to really pick it up huh???

Yeah, why not? Lets show him exactly what "Lack of Enthusiasm" can do.

this is my reaction of when he left :(

this is my reaction after i read the thread at the [T]ard place :mad:

look out!!
we are gonna kill some Fing HARD a$$

[The-Last-Kehoe]

I'll take his place, I already do a good deal of folding but i am going to be upping production by another 3 to 4 GHz over th next two weeks so i'll be up there where he was before long. and i never can say i could tell he thought that way about us from his posts and the amount of WUs he did but oh well, someone that says that for no good reason would be better off at [H]ardon. oh and i too hate the content and layout of th website. but more than that they used to FABRICATE reviews and stories and tests. someone on th staff caught and accused them but nothing really happened and i guess that was for the better

FOLD ON W/OUT Khanza!

[WillysNut]

Okay...just to cheer everyone up a little bit. I just built a dual Xeon IBM Intellistation today for a customer that had a bad DVD Rom drive. New one isn't gonna be here for a couple of days so needless to say...Each Xeon will be running an instance of Folding for the next 2 or 3 days, 24/7.

These are the plain vanilla Xeons...P3 Gig w/ standard cache..just in the Xeon type slot config but they'll help. I told the rest of the IT team that I want to be sure nothing else is an "out of box failure" on the machine so I have permission to run the client until the drive arrives...Woo Hoo!!!

[AmbientFiction]

Hell yea willy. Punch those WU out as fast as you can.

I got another week or two before I get my new machine up and running.

[thefly]

I think the team is stronger than ever. In the last few weeks we've seen lots of new users coming online here.

Hard doesn't need the help, so it doesn't matter.


lucky for us that he didn't join onion town or dsl

he's gone?

no biggie really.

[fireball****aka fireball_87]

hell yah willy!! fun fun fun :)

i got the pIII 500 folding 12hrs a day(no 24 :( ) 7 days a week ruunning linux. mandrake 8.1 bata 1 just got relesed (wahoo!!) so i hope the new kernal(2.4.8) speeds thing up a little :)

[Ploaf]

A new Duron has been ordered for the cause. It should be up someday soon, ie as soon as it is running with an OS on the network. Gonna run it as bare as is humanly possible. Should it work fine that way I may add another. Got my $300 back from Uncle Sam. That's the kind of money that folds!

[Stanman]

Snif Snif :(

[Superman53142]

At least everyone on the Hardforum isn't really mean. That relic guy didn't hassle you, Allan.

[robjustice]

First off, I gotta say I love this team, Kahnza will be missed, but I love how everyone is willing to step it up and fold even harder. Read thru this post-everyone is willing to crank it up and fold even harder. The-Last-Kehoe, willing to step up and take his place, fold on brother. Ploaf, taking his tax rebate, to build another folding machine. Stanman-who I think out folds EVERYONE using personal computers...(24 Personal computers)
Willysnut-folding to "test" systems...This team is the best...No this is not hype, but SIMPLY the truth...Here are the HARD facts...


[H]ardOCP-Weekly average per person=134.5

ARS--------- Weekly average per person=130.9

Nerdz--------Weekly average per person=79.9

DSL--------- Weekly average per person=139.07

overclockers.comWeekly average per folder=147.07

fold on brothers.......

[burn'em]

I take great offence in these to these comments. BUT.......

"lately have been frustrated with the servers and the lack of enthusiasm of the team"
"The people over at overclockers.com are really not into the competition side of things"

I don't think we should bad mouth anyone.

This team is very enthusiastic. I have seen this team take a great jump forward since I've started folding in April.

I think we are into the competiton I know I'm. I want to be number ONE I mean two (Stanman is the Folding God).

I've do and have done my part to help other members to better them selves in Folding. I don't want to toot my own horn. I like others have donated part to team members for Folding rigs. Then I end up fending them off as there production increases. That's a good thing.

That's the difference with this team WE are a Team. We praise the ones at the top and help the ones at the bottom.

I think the party in question left because "it got to hot in the kitchen" We have a lot of new folders who are coming up fast. I have eight cpu's folding "5800 mhz" 24/7 and I can barely stay in the top 10 for the week stats. And like stanman it is at a personal cost, my electric bill as gone up 110%. Why? The need to be at the top! The good of the TEAM! The quest to be #2 (lol) on the #1 TEAM.
Let our FOLDING RIGS do our talking!!!
FOLD ON MY BROTHER FOLD ON!!!!

[Tithulta]

over the enxt couple weeks i may well ahve a total of 4 boxes folding....2 of my own and when I build my 2 sisters pcs they will get complementry setups :P

Think my attitude about it is too careless? Don't think I put out enough WU? Well my attitude and my resources (haven't folded with more than 1800 MHz total CPU power so far) have got me to just under 500th place, and very close to 3500 WU completed as of this writing.. so I think there's something to be said for the patience and dedication angle.


You don't sound careless to me.
The one thing that this team has going for it is the patience and dedication of it's members. That's why the per user stats are so high. THat's a great stat BTW.
Most of my units (crossed over the 1000 wu mark a couple of days ago) were folded on one PC. I added my laptop since it seemed like it could handle it.
I have become very interested in Linux clusters and Folding fits nicely into that scheme as does buying new hardware. Just an expensive hobby that will progress slowly.
The competition is fun, but I wouldn't ditch the team for it. I joined this team after folding for a little while on my own because the site has been a good resource to me. Besides, we are competing to overtake DSL reports, as lofty a goal as that seems. We can do this.

A little OT- I gotta hand it to you. I couldn't have my house remodeled all at once. It would drive me nuts. I kind of like doing some of it myself anyway, except for the roof. Got up there once to fix it once and that was enough. Someone else replaced it. :D Landscaping is the word this year. Siding in the spring. Inside mostly done now. Wonder if I can fold with my recip. saw.

[hooziewhatsit]

I'm sorry to hear about what happened...
Although I wish I could say I would fold more at the moment, I can't (I'm at home for a month on dialup and can't run 24/7 because my parents need sleep)

but as soon as I get back to college, FOLD ON!!!!

[Mord-Sith]

willy you gave me a great idea. I have to stres test coputers every once in a while at work so Ill just start stressing them with f@h. Its not much but athlons can do quite a bit in 12 hours :)

Where is this coming from? What are you talking about?

It's not exactly the whole house. This house is like 40+ years old.. it had a family room built onto the back around 1970 that was done very poorly.

Now this sounds very familiar. Tasteless, poorly done additions seemed to be the thing in the 70's. They turned my front porch into part of the living room and screwed it up pretty good. I don't even have the courage to mess with it right now. Hope everything goes well with your remodeling.
